Well, that was pretty s**t, waasn't it?
There is a 10-minute exposition-dump that completely ruins all of the - rather good, I thought - momentum that the episode had built up, up to that point.
Anita is back, probably last-minute after the incredible response her story got, because she does nothing at all and could have been replaced by a nameless manager.
The interresting Rani is killed.
Omega is a big ugly moster like we all feared.
The charaters are reduced to exposition expositors.
The plan set up in the last episode is thwarted with barely any effort.
3 and 11 get blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameos for no descernable reason (happy 20th, I guess).
The Poppy thing is "clever" in all the annoying ways that RTD and Moffatt can be "clever", another impossible girl.
"Sometimes, I think we're all your children" yuck.
13 is back, take that how you will.
THASMIN!?!???!
Susan died on the way home to her planet.
THE ROSE DOCTOR? ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME!?!??!??!
This show is washed.
2/10 what the hell.
