A scientist by trade who spends way too much time thinking about Doctor Who, A Song of Ice and Fire, Star Trek, etc. I can't promise that anything I have to say is interesting
I have no idea where this story is going and I just hope it's more of a Parting of the Ways than an Empire of Death

I wanted to like this one, but it's left me feeling pretty cold and I'm not sure that ice in my heart is going away any time soon.

I've wanted to see Susan back for a long time, but I need to wait and see what they do with her, before I decide if it's good or not. At least they got The Rani reveal out the way. The new Rani seems to admit that Mrs Flood is nothing like the character, so that's something.

The Doctor is really out of character in this one and I really hoped Belinda was going to step in and sort it, but I guess not. Does The Doctor just torture people now? Even at their lowest, when they think they've lost everything, The Doctor shouldn't torture their enemies.

I was really hoping that The Doctor might have connected with Kid and redirected his anger rather than just echoing Kerblam and going with the 'violence is always wrong' ending. Just using the contest to broadcast the song was a real cop out way to wrap it up.

particularly given that this episode will have been written in early 2023, so there was never much chance of a direct criticism of Israel's participation in the contest.

Imagine if HBO had released Game of Thrones season 3 in 1 go and nobody got the chance to just take in the Red Wedding before the next episode autoplayed

They push conspiracy theories to further their political agendas and make money, while ignoring (and even condoning) the worst aspects of these organisations.

There's plenty to criticise about UNIT (overly militarised, child labour violations, lying to the public) and the modern media landscape (pushes pro war narratives, contolled by billionaires, slop) but these people don't care about those things.
