(This thought brought to you by the realisation that, much like Purple Rain, 1989 is TSwifts only top-to-bottom great album and everything afterwards is just her following whatever thought pops into her head whether it's good or not)

I'd read it! It's fun to have condense your thoughts into as few points as possible and helps you figure out why you like it

Journey's End - The story bends as far as it can without breaking in order to deliver classic RTD heartache, though not even guest character overload or sudden solutions can take away from it's scope, power, and it's place as a fitting conclusion to Series 4. 9/10

The Stolen Earth - Russell's understanding of comic events helps lend a story whose main purpose is "Getting the pieces together" into a suitably epic part one that brings a sense of scale with just 6 unique locations, capped with one of the most audacious cliffhangers yet. 10/10

Turn Left - What could've been a parade through Continuity Corner becomes an exquisite character dissection of Donna, and a treatise on how powerful the individual can be. Billie Piper's return is marked with an improvement in her acting skills and Bernard Cribbins excels. 10/10

I thought I'd at least be able to finish the basic premise before questions but honestly that's on me

And when you know that it makes the fact that this is more of Farewell Tour than an episode of TV make more sense

A large part of "why" it's like this is because the BBC either hadn't decided that RTD was taking over by the making of this episode or just... didn't tell him for some reason and it made everything think this might be the last DW episode for years, if not ever

Midnight - RTD doing what he does best: Exploring what turns humans from sensible people into paranoid savages. The escalation from light comedy ending up at paranoid depravity pinned on the Doctor's own secrecy is expertly handled and Tennents performance excels. 10/10

Forest of the Dead - A wonderful part two that takes everything great about this era of Who and takes it to 11, including an impossibly glorious sequence at the end that exemplifies the best of what Moffat does, superbly directed by Lynn and terrifically acted by Tennent. 10/10

Silence in the Library - Written with the full confidence of getting the top job, Moffat delivers a first part that teases the future of his run that still takes the time to create some unique scares, a great cliffhanger, and "Who turned out the lights?" is still top tier. 8/10

But between a Director who has never worked on a TV show with a scale like this and a writer who has only written two plays and a couple episodes of a comedy about talent agents beforehand this is just... malnourished

At least Orphan 55 is a fun "Way overstuffed but earnest" bad and Kerblam! might unironically be the best constructed scripts of this entire era.

Orphan 55 and Kerblam! get a lot of flack but if people actually watched this one we would never mention those episodes as "Worse 13 Episodes" again

The fact that the Romance in the Rom-Com is uhhhh not great doesn't distract from the fact that the majority female cast are having a great time being disgusted by him

I'm not sure if budget cuts would explain why "Getting a bunch of freelancers into a room together" suddenly became impossible from Series 12 onwards. Couldn't afford to rent the office space? Who knows

He had one! In series 11! And then never used one again because 🤷

Also, knowing that this series was written as it went did the Flux go from "one massive event that forces everyone apart" to "a recurring event that comes in waves" because COVID symbolism? What was the point of Yaz, Dan, and Jericho's subplot in the end? Why was this series like this?!?

Where was Yaz's family? They were a recurring element in Series 11 & 12 that people seemed to like and I don't remember if they even get mentioned, but it was absolutely vital that we see Dan's parents for one episode

Why is Dan? Could we really not have had an all female TARDIS team for six episodes? Why do we need a mandatory "Old British Comedian who's there to do zingers and be sad about a woman who gets shafted by the narrative," why do we need that?

What was Swarm and Azure's actual deal? "Space is at war with time" what does that even mean? Why did Tecteun need them for the Flux events? Vibes? These two were just some vibes wrapped in knock-off VNA character design.
