I'm finally watching this season and... wow, those people were wrong. No outright masterpieces this season, but the refreshing feel of this season, the smaller focus of some of the stories, the central characters, and the cinematic look - they're all working wonders for me!

Fine actors. Good characterization. Moffat started to actually do some of this in his last season. I find that I am really enjoying the historical themed ones. I definitely do want to see a classic monster and have a romp episode...but otherwise this is a refreshing change. I don't understand how viewers are saying things like "it wasn't that bad to be a woman during the time of the Witch trials" or "black in 1950's Alabama." There is something else going on with that reasoning. I am very disappointed they won't have a 12 or 13th episode season to grow into. I am looking forward to next season. I think all the creative people involved will only get better.

The 'message' (that now seems to be part of all historicals for some reason, but hey-ho) was much more subtly worked into the story than previously, and it was nice to have a monster that was truly monstrous.Burstingfoamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-48631661254893591172018-11-27T09:23:23.143-08:002018-11-27T09:23:23.143-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Doc Ohohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819922630249965949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-16566965634299395582018-11-26T17:32:54.575-08:002018-11-26T17:32:54.575-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043237189565156240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-46440691402360648272018-11-26T15:34:36.136-08:002018-11-26T15:34:36.136-08:00I cannot understand how you trashed Smith and Capa...I cannot understand how you trashed Smith and Capaldi's eras so much and praise this aberration.

Didn't rate the villain...I know Chibnall has gone against recurring villains but I don't think he's got the same level of writing talent as Davies or dare I say moffatt. Sadly. I've already forgotten them.<br /><br />That said love Jody and a lot of the other characterization is good.interesting Broughton comparisons! I agree...I just wish they'd have followed a similar stance with the monsters. The Troughton era shamelessly reused old monsters but brought in some very good new ones. Great intelligence, ice warriors in some epic stories...although it did give us the krotons and dominators...also far three pseudohistoricals in one season!Chestletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279708861283689471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-16186439979629136152018-11-26T07:27:23.919-08:002018-11-26T07:27:23.919-08:00I have to agree with the other comment about the l...I have to agree with the other comment about the last 10 minutes. They really dragged this one down somewhat for me. I still enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as I would have done if they'd found a better way to wrap it up. It seemed like the writer decided she needed to cram some 'traditional' Doctor Who into an episode that didn't really need it. <br /><br />But I also agree with you that the scenes between Whittaker and Cumming are some of her strongest in the role so far. I really think she's done something special with her take on the role, and I hope the rumors of her exit are just that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-79599772622677334272018-11-26T06:55:28.692-08:002018-11-26T06:55:28.692-08:00Yeah, gonna disagree with you here.
