  • Sorry what the fuck was this episode? Why did the Doctor disappear and the tardis lock? What was the resolution? Why 73 yards? What was she telling them? How did she go back? Why did the Doctor know not to read the notes in the second timeline but not the first?

    The moments of tension were really good, and as a short story even independant of Doctor Who it was very compelling, but the end was so fast and made no sense to me.


  • Overall I enjoyed this one, felt like a return to a classic monster-of-the-week format, with a decent setup and good intrige, although the reason that the monster was created being ‘the computer thinks babies needs monsters’ fell a little flat for me.

    The commentary on abortion and refugees was a tad shoehorned also, but not a deal breaker for me.

    Really liking Ncuti’s take on the Doctor and his chemistry with Millie Gibson, and definitely excited to see where the overarching story line for the season goes.

    Fully anecdotal, but one of my 6th form rugby teammates went to watch a high school american football game, and said they were comparably as good as we were. Only difference is they filled a stadium and we’d get 3 dads on the sideline.

    Junior teams for professional clubs do very much pay attention to school leagues and youth club rugby for players to ‘scoop up’.

    Seems like a purely cultural difference around going to watch lower level matches to me, rather than the player skill and career trajectory being different.
