Lux is the episode in season 2 I am looking forward to the least. Devil’s Chord was the episode in season 1 that I liked the least, and this feels to be similar.
Let’s hope that I am wrong and it blows my mind. The reviews seem to be great!
I’m cautiously optimistic now that I’ve seen some of the reviews. And also since I find TRR much stronger than SB. It feels as if they are more confident this time around.

Interesting, the idea of animation coming into the real world and vice-versa is an idea Doctor Who hasn’t done before on the show, so I’ve been intrigued to see what they’d do with it. Seems neat. TISC is the one I’m not looking forward to.

I hope that I am wrong. It has some interesting parts that I am really interested in. I just hope that this lands better than DC.
I have always loved Eurovision and I think that this could be fun. It feels like an episode that could get very mixed opinions.

I think TISC will be quite objectively fun but I think it will be polarising on several levels, from fun haters to fun lovers; to ESC haters to ESC lovers

Underworld was very cool, just saw it for the first time. Reminded me of World Enough and Time (a cool physics problem that leads to a society growing in a certain way), Wild Blue Yonder (edge of the universe), and I thought the “time lords acting as gods” was interesting

An episode that people hate on unfairly

The closest I can think of something similar in the wilderness is The Crooked World. I guess the Land of Fiction stories fill a similar niche, although none of them have touched animation yet. Who knows, maybe they’ll in the near future - some animated classics are finally entering public domain after all.

Not into Eurovision, don’t really get it. Doesn’t particularly appeal to me. Not to mention not much liking musicals or musical numbers in stuff. TISC just does not seem to be something up my alley. I’m open to being proven wrong though.

Underworld is a story that has a lot of cool ideas that they weren’t able to realize well because of financial reasons. Inflation was rampant and you can see the exact moment in the second part where the money ran out. As a result, not a very good production, holding it back from its potential.

Idk if its controversial but I think Season 13 is the best season of Classic Who.

Not remotely controversial. I’d go as far as saying it’s a common opinion.

The Hinchcliffe years are considered the golden age of Doctor Who by pretty much a whole generation of Who fans

Probably because Season 7 and 25 are recent Bluray releases. Season 13 has always been highly regarded - Pyramids, Morbius, Seeds of Doom, Terror of the Zygons, Planet of Evil - lots and lots of good stuff.

Was thinking about this: I don’t really care much about The Girl and the Fireplace and think it’s perfectly fine. Maybe it’s that I don’t really like Doctor romances much or what but I’ve never seen the appeal others have, and even a rewatch a couple years ago never changed my mind there. Don’t think it’s bad but I don’t see why it’s such a fan favourite

Of the RTD1 Moffat scripts it’s easily my least favorite. The stuff with the time windows and these machines that try to replace parts on their ship with whatever they can find, and thinking the best replacement for the computer is the brain of its namesake, and the clockwork droids just in general are all cool and neat ideas, and a great premise for the story. The issue comes from I don’t really think the Doctor would risk the timeline that much by taking her to travel the stars, and you just know the whole time it can’t and won’t work out. Also, the idea that because the one fireplace was moved means it could still somehow be connected to the ship for the Doctor to have a way back is extremely convenient. I think it’s just not quite as tightly written as his other contributions from that era.

I don’t really understand why some people hate (or at least really dislike) The End of Time. I wasn’t actually aware that was a controversial opinion until recently. One of the biggest criticisms I’ve heard is that the time lord victorious plotline was completely dropped, and I disagree. I think the themes/consequences of the previous special are definitely present.
