This is the thing that amused me about how angry people got about the "kiss"/ sharing oxygen thing... The fact she it's a reptile alien, if I was going to be alarmed by any of it is more alarming than women kissing. Unless they've hit the gender thing rather than the alien thing because it's almost like racism if am alien can't love another human. Idk people are stupid.

I really don't think I like the new series at all though. I'm still not sure I'm a fan of Clara at all as the companion. I never have been sure. Then again I'm still not sure ill ever get over Amy Pond. I don't like Capaldi for the role. He's brilliant in other things but I'm just really not fond of him in this and I can't place why. I've a huge loathing for whatever the writers think they are doing this series too. The writing is a pile of balls IMO. It's just messy. Loved the back referencing in episode 1 but I genuinely think that might well be and continue to be the only thing I like about this series.

I guess all we can hope is that it gets better but I'm not holding my breath for any miracles

I get the whole thigh with Clara not feeling like he's right, and the doctors confusion and the emotions from the episode but given it's something they've never bothered with previously - doctor has always seemed to know who he was and what he was doing, and so much for impossible girl, it just annoyed me. It seemed like padding. I love the idea of an older doctor at last but I'm finding myself more and more frustrated with the series the more I think about it

My experience watching this season has basically been:
"Wow, that was a cool idea."
"Wow, that's crappy."
"Wow, that's crappy."

Traditionally series' have been a mix of good and bad episodes, but the first two so far have just been a mess of terrible mixed with hints of genius at random. So all over the place.

And then I see the next episode preview and think "Ugh. I guess I'll watch it anyway."

Still not getting much better. Not much continuity between episodes or a bigger storyline as of yet..

They change to a different Doctor Who every week-one minute it's one guy the next it's another one.

Rather enjoying the series so far. Felt that this week's episode was an improvement on the last two, though they're all "decent" in my view. Next week looks set to be vastly overrated. Loving Capaldi and Coleman; just wish the writing was better (time for Steven Moffat to move on, I reckon).

Eh?

I totally agree. Steven Moffat needs to go... Matt Smith was a great Doctor, but was let down by mediocre scripts, and season arcs. There were some great eps, but they were few and far between. It looks like its continuing with the new guy. Just wasn't that bothered by this weeks episode. Interesting idea, but just didn't really go anywhere. I hope it picks up soon.

Seems like you got your wish! I know nobody's been here for years but I just randomly came across this gem and thought I'd leave my mark on it.

Hooray! It's definitely about time he left - it's long overdue, in my opinion. I feel it's a bit of a shame he's still knocking around for Series 10. I'd have preferred a two year break off-air before Chibnall, in order to bring the show back with a bang. Instead, it feels like we're in for more of the same after a year off, and that could put people off. Time will tell, I guess. Not looking forward to the Christmas special or Nardole though.
