Review of Lucky Day by Nitronine

This review contains spoilers!

Written by the guy who wrote Kerblam… and it shows.

 

Honestly, I see the intent. I understand. I’m bright enough to see what this was supposed to be (or maybe I’m just being too charitable). But I feel like making UNIT, a huge, overfunded military organization with a history of violence (rewatch the Sontaran Strategem and The Poison Sky if you don’t remember) the unequivocal victim in this situation is such a major misstep. It kind of ruins the message and may even give people the exact wrong impression. The way the idea of UNIT (which is, again, a super overfunded military org) “stealing taxpayer money” is framed as an insane thing to say is also just stupid as hell, ESPECIALLY since Kate ADMITS no one in the public knows what their government funding is used for! It’s all so stupid!

I also wish Belinda was getting more of a spotlight in her own season, they’re already short enough… whatever. I don’t like this one. Could’ve gone with a bit more thought put into it.
