Also I love that the Doc can talk to spiders.

She didn't? Outside of the usual Steve Irwin moment of "Aren't you a beauty!"

It's probably too early to be thinking about the future but add me as a person who thinks something is going to happen to Graham by the end of the season, either death or he doesn't remain as a companion.

Yes something is going to happen to Graham at the end of this season

Ryan's gonna call him Granddad :qq:

Maybe I’m seeing her through a sexist lens, and she’s actually just as active as past Doctors, but so far, I’m not loving the writing for her.

I'm still waiting for someone to have a proper crack at 13 referring to companions as 'friends', and the fact Whittaker 'needs' a larger Scooby Doo gang to accompany her.

Isn't a single instant shot to the head a lot more of a humane way to go than slowly suffocating in your own body that's too large for you?

What is more humane? Putting a giant spider that is suffocating to death out of its misery, or permanetly freezing someone in stasis to live for eternity as a scarecrow in a field while still retaining all their mental faculties in a fate worse than death 'I have no mouth but I must scream' scenario?

Only the Doctor knows!

Alright ep with probably 1 too many sub-plots, that needed to be tightened up a bit. Maybe scrap Pregnant-Guy just to get move the Ryan/Dad/Graham subplot along.

Had the potential for some body horror in converting employees into Kablam men, ala Cybermen, but that'd probably have been to on the nose.

The twist and ending felt a bit weak.
Super weird the Doctor didn't hold The System accountable for straight up murdering her.
(Could have easily shown the explosion, and teleported her out at the last second making him think he's blown her up)

This really felt like the weakest first season out of all the new Doctor's and it really didn't help it's only 10 episodes, as opposed to the 'usual' 12-13. (And this includes Blowjob Tile in Season 2)

I really really liked a few of the episodes (1, 9 and 10 are standouts for me), but a lot of them felt... pandering in a way.
Also felt like the Doctor is a little less 'switched on' about things. Not a lot of speeches or clever solutions that you normally see. Less gravitas?

Don't get me wrong I adore Jodie as the Doctor, and think Broadchurch is a brilliant bit of tellie, but I feel like they need to get their act together a bit otherwise she's going to be super underutilised like 10 was.
Hopefully the next season settles things down a bit. Don't know which muppet decided 2020, but they deserve an uppercut.

Graham continues to be outright Best 13 Companion thus far, glad he got a resolution to the Grace saga and he got his Granddad moment.
Other 2 not bringing much to the table, other than being talking heads to play off.

It's definitely a writing flaw rather than a problem with Jodie, though

This was always my problem with 10.

Tennant was great, just lovely lovely writing for like half his eps.
I hope Jodie doesn't suffer the same fate

Apparently Australia is beating the UK to the punch this year, and the new ep airs in about 3 hours on the ABC.

It might be up here later on, but I'm not too sure as I usually just :filez: a good quality copy when I get home from work
