The UNIT set and the Galvanic laser gun to me anyways, looks like sets and set dressing. It’s didn’t look real world to me. I mean, say what you will about Jodie’s run, but the set design was top notch.

I’m not sure I’d describe it as “too 2005”, but I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the new aesthetic. A part of Dr Who that I’ve always loved has been them making it work with what they had. Not to say they were getting by on scraps, particularly in the later seasons, but it was never the flashiness of special effects that drew me in. From running down eerily similar corridors throughout the series, to episodes contained to just one room, Dr Who’s best traits existed beside all of the effects they were able to afford, and the last few specials have felt kind of…“flat” for lack of a better word, while the post-production budget has clearly ballooned. I’m still excited for the next regeneration, but I’m a bit wary if the new season is going to be a lot like the specials have been. Maybe it’s just something I’ll get used to. Who knows.
