Yep, the Daleks were overused by the time we hit the end of the Moffat era. Then they did sort of the same thing with the Cybermen and the Master to a lesser extent.

Whilst I donāt want them to be overused, I really want Ncuti to face them.
Seeing as this is a speculation thread I think that he will, from that interview when he said he got to tick something off his wish list of things.
I prefer Daleks to be used for finales or special episodes and want them to feel like a big threat again.

Itās either that or the fact that he got to make a story set in Africa.
I also want to see him face the Daleks. The first Dalek encounter is sorta the moment when every new incarnation of the Doctor truly cements itself.

The problem their is that they are really bad at using them. There are very few good Cybermen storiesā¦

Moffat seemed to use Daleks more as small cameos and hardly ever the main focus.
And yeah there were too many bad Cybermen plots.
I am enjoying the focus on new monsters.

Another mixed review, this one from from RT. I am however very excited, and not surprised, by this quote āAnita Dobsonās Mrs Flood makes her long-awaited return, and sheās as camp as ever.ā
I wonāt post them all but just as its RT thought Iād post another. So far theyāre all pretty much saying its a mixed bag.

The season premiere and the first episode with a new companion is often a bit rough, so Iām not shocked that itās not receiving the best reviews, and it wasnāt one of the episodes that I was super looking forward to anyways.

Sitting next to two actors whilst saying how amazing/fascinating itād be to replace actors with AI, and then only AFTER, saying it was a joke.

Personally, Iād really rather not look at the reviews before watching something that is coming out, as that kinda biases you towards the episodeā¦

So thatās an average of 7.3/10. Not too bad.

Iāve moved the reviews to the spoiler topic.
They are a little bit spoilery for people who want to go in blind.
