Or would he? Maybe if I was him I would be saying it to misdirect you that I am not him, or maybe he is me, or I am he or maybe the real RTD was the Friend we made along the way :wink?

Rewatching Rogue today made me even more engaged in the Doctor/Rogue relationship, but I did find this a bit slower and the romance plot taking up maybe a bit too much of the runtime, leaving the Chuldur plot to linger until the third act. The script is probably the wittiest of the season, though, and the production values are top-notch. this is probably Ncuti’s best performance in the role so far.

So an 8/10 from me!

Rogue is one of the most unique and emotionally rich episodes of the season. It wears its heart on its ruffled Regency sleeve, balancing swooning romance with campy alien hijinks and laugh-out-loud moments. While the Chuldur plot takes a while to get going and some tension-building is delayed until the final act, the payoff is worth it. A lavish production, a fantastic guest turn from Jonathan Groff, and a deeper exploration of Fifteen’s emotional landscape make this a standout. It’s Doctor Who at its boldest and most sincere—and that final sacrifice lands like a punch to the hearts of fans everywhere.
