I agree. Giving Season 2 a chance but I felt like Season 1 fast-forwarded or just outright skipped through a lot of development.

Also, killing a ācalculating animal with tailā could easily have consequences, depending on what it was calculating. What if it was actually calculating something for Mrs Flood?

I agree that 10 is probably my ideal number of episode. I feel like it just gives them a bit more breathing room. That being said, I do think its possible to do it in eight. I just sort of got the vibe last time that RTD wasnāt used to writing a season of that length. That might just be me though. While Iām still sort of worried about it, I think between this being the second go around and the fact that season one already laid a lot of ground work, Iāll probably like the pacing better this season.

Iām hoping that with only 1 (maybe?) Doctor-lite episode this season, it will seem like it has more room to breathe.
Iām not even sure how Doctor-lite Lucky Day is, though.

I have a feeling Ncuti may be in Lucky Day more than we think? No idea but hey. Hopefully itās akin to Dot and Bubble if it is Doctor-lite, so it feels like he has a presence throughout even if heās not actively joining in with the main events.

I originally thought Lucky Day was just Ruby and UNIT but I think Iām wrong there.

Also, RTD did promise in DWM 8 episodes a season was just āfor nowā so maybe if S3 happens, we shall see!

I guess it all depends on what Disney or Disneyās successor order from them! Fingers crossed. I agree that 10 would be a sweet spot for Who.

Watched it, and I feel bad for saying this, but I really didnāt enjoy this one.
I think I am overall in agreement with @Goibniu and @ChrisStokes in a lot of their Points.
While I fully support the Messaging and I really donāt mind if itās on the Nose, I feel like it was dealt here in a Manner, which sadly left a lot to be desired. I will say I really like the Ending with Berlinda, where she protests being treated as just āOne of his Adventureā, I thought that Scene was excellent and worked quite well. In general Varada is the big saving Grace of this Episode, I already she was a great Actress from other Shows but seeing her in Who is just a Blast. Berlinda so far shows a lot of Promises, more than Ruby, who is still played wonderfully by Millie but at times felt a bit too at Home. So having Berlinda be much more confronting is great.
However.. I really disliked how she puts them all in Danger when she reactivates the Polish Bot. And I kinda wish this got addressed much more in the Story itself, it just didnāt make much sense at all. And even less Sense made the āCharacterā of Manny, who feels like a one-noted Caricature whose Lines are just āUghh I hate you Berlinda!!ā for most of the Episode. I did like Sasha more, but she got barely much Time to develop, there are some nice short Moments with 15 reflecting on her Death, but it really didnāt hit me as much as I would have hoped. In general, the Supporting Cast just feels like ānothingā Characters, despite that, I realy enjoyed the Moments in their Hideout. Seeing Berlinda use her Knowledge as a Nurse was great. The Moment where 15 shows her that he has 2 Hearts? Great. Really thatās the big Highlight of the Episode, outside the ending and well Varada herself.
Donāt really have much to say about the Teases for the Arc or the Mrs. Flood Part, I must admit I hope she doesnāt break the fourth Wall constantly, after a while it can get a bit tiring. I do hope the Arc and its Tease is handled in a more subtle Way than last Time, where we spend way too much Time on Things that didnāt get a very satisfying Payoff.
The Pacing felt quite off, especially the beginning, feels like itās rushing us into the Story way too much. I enjoyed the Robots, they are fun for this one Episode, but not a Monster I can see or would want to see return. The directing was solid, not outstanding, just kinda okay. Not a big Fan of the Amount of Flashbacks, they felt a bit too crowded here and a few less of them would have been much better.
I do hate to be a Downer, and I am genuinely happy for everybody who had a great Time, there were Things I really enjoyed, but for me this Opener is not doing it. Hopeful for the next Episode regardless, bring it on, Lux
