Honestly I’m more surprised Woman Who Fell is still there.

Fantastic? Exposition heavy and actually not a lot happening for most of it more like.
Best Doctor intro? Unearthly, Power, Spearhead, Robot, Eleventh, and Breath would all like a word.
We all love Grace, you got me there.
I guess the outfit scene is fine, shame I don’t like the outfit.
Salad man is a treasure
Tzim Sha is pretty lame ngl, and the Tim Shaw joke went on a little long
Is he that well designed? He’s just got teeth on his face.
See above
Jump was cool
See, you said it, “poor attempt”
Cool cliffhanger, true
Best scene of the episode
I like Murray Gold, but Akinola was a nice change of pace
It is good cinematography, shame that’s not as important as writing for something to be good.

It should say “Doctor intro scene”. :slightly_smiling_face:
Power of the Daleks and Eleventh Hour are better.

We all love what we love :wink:

I mean, his attempts at youtubing are better than his attempts to emulate Call of Duty and his musical taste…

That’s still 9/14 things you agree with, so I’d call that pretty good :wink:

You put this as a good thing?

I didn’t say it was bad, I just am surprised we’re seemingly considering it top four Chibnall good, when I think it’s just ok.

How could I have guessed that you would say that :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’ve not taken part in a few days cause tbh every episode I dislike is gone, and all that remains are ones I don’t remember too well but found decent at the time, or ones I like. So voting has become hard, and voting fairly impossible due to my poor memory :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Don’t look at the Romana folders on my phone :laughing:

The way that things are said about the matter are roughly that Maxine was writing the story for Series 13… COVID came along… All the discussions about whether the show could actually happen came up… And that was the only script far enough into development that it could then be reworked for Flux. It’s hard to say without actually speaking to either of them if this was a traditional co-write situation or if the credit is the result of Maxine having done a draft or two, followed by Chris powering through drafts of rewrites thereafter on his own.

Given that all the other planned Series 13 writers weren’t then involved in Flux, I would suspect myself that Chris did all the reworking and redrafting himself on a tight turnaround - because I mean, why else is he shouldering all that writing weight upon himself?

Yes!!! Some more precious few seconds with him :face_holding_back_tears:! Power is super messy, but they got me with the fanservice trap. Fanservice bad unless I am the fan being serviced \j

Power is just fun. And that’s what Doctor Who should be, at the end of the day. I don’t care how messy the story is if I’m having a good time watching it.

How about an Elimination Game about which Doctor deserves more onscreen Time? A very simple Game since at the end most would probably vote for two big choices, so it wouldn’t be as much as a bloodbath :smiley: (maybe…)

Anyway, the other Ideas all do sound good! I’d be open for any of them.
As for Power, yes it’s very much messy, but it has also McGann, which makes it automatically good. As we all know, every Era of the Show should be judge in terms of how much McGann it has :smiley:

We did Hartnell writers, we can always do Troughton writers.
