Space Babies has got all the marks of a classic Doctor Who episode (classic as in notable, not classic as in Classic Who), and by that I mean a political metaphor so obvious you could close your eyes and still see it, the old "that's not a proper conversation that's just exposition", a deeply silly plot resolution, and of course, some incredible character work for both the Doctor and Ruby.

The plot was. fine? Pretty solid, nothing all that special imo, but where this episode shone was Ncuti Gatwa really being able to show what kind of a Doctor he's going to play, and how he acted alongside Millie Gibson as Ruby. God I love them
