“Don’t turn your back on me.”

Is it possible to bill the BBC for a water-logged keyboard? Asking for a friend…

The future: We have utopian disability aid technology.

Also the future: “But what if they’re signing about me?!”

Both optimistic and annoyingly accurate, lol

That is such a perfect way of showing the future, with both hope and despair.

They made a big deal abt the casting of the hot soldier but I think he was just.. there? :sob: I thought Shaya and Aliss were phenomenal characters though, really memorable.

All of this “what’s humans and Planet Earth” stuff has made me super hyped for next week’s episode with Ruby and UNIT :grin:
What is the perspective of people who are on Earth at this point in time?

I am loving this season so far :+1:

Cassio of course!! I remember there being an announcement of the actor Christopher Chung joining the cast but I hadn’t heard of him.

Yeah, I talked about it in my review but I loved the worldbuilding where it’s a more accessible universe but still realistic in that it didn’t completely stop the ableism of them not trusting sign language they didn’t understand, or forgetting to turn on their communicators at various points even when talking to her

Speculation but it felt to me like the writer came in with a pitch - “unseen creature on people’s backs, it kills if you stand directly behind them, and it happens around an uninhabited planet with a Pit” - and RTD decided to mangle it into being a Midnight sequel. It felt confused. I know some are saying “the creature evolved” and, fair enough, but it felt unnecessary to me and like it may as well have been a different entity altogether.

Characters were largely cardboard and bland. It felt like it just meandered for 25 minutes and then got “solved” in about 5. Loved the Doctor and Belinda. Aliss was fine, and the main trooper woman was okay. But what this episode has inadvertently done is made me naturally compare it to an incredible episode from 17 years ago, and this wasn’t a patch on that.

3/5.
