First two episodes of the new season out now! On Disney+ in most of the world and iplayer in the UK, will also be airing in the UK & Ireland on BBC One Saturday evening! If youve never watched they are literally branding this as season one so its a great place to jump on!

Watched both episodes. Space Babies was fine I guess? Ots very, very light on substance and some of the humour is definitely aimed at a younger audience but it goes at a good pace. The Devils Chord though was a great episode, great villain, got the tone just right and slightly felt like the real premiere almost.

The Devils Chord though was a great episode, great villain, got the tone just right and slightly felt like the real premiere almost. These were my exact feelings. Space Babies feels very much in line with Russel T. Davies' other season premieres. It's meant to hook a younger audience in. Devil's Chord was fucking awesome though. --- Inviso thinks all starters should be Fire/Fighting. http://i.imgur.com/oOSm64C.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah it was definitely the right move to put up two episodes at once. I do kind of feel that having an episode as light as Space Babies directly follow the also extremely light Church on Ruby Road was a little odd and could put off new viewers so if you are reading this post and have never seen the show before, keep going until the latest episode!

I didn't find Space Babies bad, although it was very much a classic easy-going intro episode as you've both said. I really didn't like the latter half of Devil's Chord, though. It all felt very loud with almost no emotional payoff or interesting concept in the resolution. It's a shame, because I thought the front half was solid.

And he was right! So far anyway. Best episode since 2017. So tense, great performances especially from Gatwa. Moffats dialogue has been sorely missed. My only issue with it is that the child performance wasnt quite there but that was a very small part of it.

Solid episode. I was not a big fan of Moffat during the Smith era, but he's good at singular stories.

"There's always a twist at the end..." has been stuck in my head since I saw it.
Won't watch today's episode 'til Tuesday, though. My friend is still doing that, we got caught up to the new season just in time. (He was still doing one thing per Doctor, except for Jodie, where he did whatever he thought was relevant to what RTD was expected to do this year.) Also bought the DVD box sets for Eccleston-Tennant, Smith, and Capaldi. Will have a lot to watch in the near future. --- Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

Hope you enjoy it! 2005-2017 is an incredible run of television. The era after still has good stuff too although it doesnt hit at the same rate
As for this series, an observation. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

Gatwa is great. Good third episode, felt a lot more grounded than the first two. I'll be more than happy if the quality stays around there and we get a classic "eight people locked in a room, three of them will live" before the end.

God, I missed Moffat. Honestly, not near his best work, but still refreshingly good after the toothless Chibnall years. Love the unabashed criticisms of capitalism and the harsh rebuke of the phrase "thoughts and prayers".

Love the unabashed criticisms of capitalism and the harsh rebuke of the phrase "thoughts and prayers".My thoughts exactly. Easily the best episode of the season but we're still early! Child character kind of annoyed me in this one a bit but we got there in the end. Episode reminded me a bit of The Satan Pit in its themes of faith/religion though not as strongly. ...

Boom was great! Glad to see more Moffat. Devils Chord was quite good too. Enjoying the season overall so far.

Yeah that was a wild episode and probably the best of the season although Boom is also really great. My only minor point is that I wish it was a full hour long.

I... don't get what happened at all. It was interesting, but left me with just questions. Reminds me of Midnight in a way, only Doctor lite instead of companion lite.
