The Doctor and its companions arrive on a spaceship and ... well anything can happen now kids and it could be a little bit nasty
Maybe we should have had something a little bit nasty going on . Last week saw humans getting consumed by giant spiders so lets see more nasty deaths. Okay maybe not . What I would have hoped for is conviction via the writing and performances but this is something we haven't been getting since Eccleston was the Doctor. Instead we get lots of silliness like a pregnant man , cute CGI monsters and " quirky character moments" where certain death is treated as being on a par as accidentally stepping on toes . Was this being written as it was going along?
Perhaps the most annoying thing is Whittaker's performance . Okay I'll confess I found the idea of a female Doctor as problematic but it could have worked if we had a frosty detached ice maiden . Here we have generic not quite David Tennant in the role where the character has too much dialogue much of which is exposition. It's almost like someone giving a bad impersonation of Tennant
A rather disappointing episode. Here's hoping the rumours of missing episode from the 1960s being found are true and we can finally view what DOCTOR WHO used to be and what it should be today and tomorrow when we're all dead and forgotten
