Found my 2 minutes for the trailer. I honestly can't tell if I will like it from that, but I will give it a try. It's got potential.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Hm.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Huh. Well, not exactly a sympathetic character, but I'm interested enough to give it a try.

Now tagless for your comfort.
That is a big change from the graphic novel. Wonder why they thought they needed it?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I really do not like the way Chibnall writes The Doctor. Everything I didn't like about Revolution of the Daleks really just boils down to that. I think his take on the character is wrong and badly done, and I don't like it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I thought The Doctor was written much better in this episode than in previous episodes by Chibnall.

That's twice now this version of the Doctor has essentially summoned Nazis to take care of her enemies for her and it really bothers me that Chibnall keeps going back to that very specific well without, apparently, any intention of addressing it as such. I'm honestly not sure he knows he's doing it.

I see what you mean, Jess. I thought the premise of humans cobbling together something dalek-like to use as anti-riot gear was pretty promising but it didn't go anywhere I hoped.
I did like how Ryan and Graham leaving was handled.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Jessica, I hadn't thought of it that way, but I definitely see your point. I was speaking more to the way she spoke that sounded more Doctor like to me than last season did, and less preachiness.
-t, I agree with your second point. It was the least traumatic exit for companions I remember, and I loved the bicycle bit at the end.
