Savage Henry Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Caught the last fifteen minutes of this and ten minutes of it was a dance. Fair play but I wasn’t very scared. Also they shouldn’t talk over the credits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Watched them both now, and have to say I was a bit underwhelmed. Having the first episode of the series as Space Babies seems like a big mistake. It was really poor. The mutton vindaloo creature from red dwarf was scarier. The second episode was OK but I found it a bit boring, especially in the middle. I really was happy to hear RTD was coming back, but we're not getting his best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Adventures Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I enjoyed Boom. A lot of people who kid on they like Doctor Who will hate it but I enjoyed it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) The first episodes both had their moments but were undermined by silly, childish endings. I get that it's always supposed to be aimed, at least in part, but a monster made of bogeys and a ship farting itself around the galaxy? FFS. And the less said about the singing, just two episodes after they had loads of singing in the Christmas installment, the better. The third episode was much more like it, though. It was tense pretty much from the off, and Ncuti and, in particular, Millie were excellent. Also good was Varada Sethu as Mundy Flynn, and I see they've pulled the Clara/Oswin trick of introducing a companion in advance as a different character, again. Be interesting to see how they reconcile that in the narrative later on. (Is there a link between the names "Mundy" and "Sunday"?)

Have they not had the ship flatulating its way around the universe already ? A space whale or something ? and are the space babies from 2001 , a space odyssey ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Really good episode this week. RTD clearly taking inspiration from his Years and Years scripts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The AAWIL scene was funny, the tourist price for a cola was flagrantly justified and the episode revealed itself in a touching & entertaining piece of schtick. Just how it should be and good fun, oh and with life lessons thrown in. I like the geekiness of the mysterious character echoing Tom Baker's denouement and Unit having to back off again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
