A decent opener for the season, much better than Space Babies.

+ The pacing of the first half was great, the second half was a little uneven

+ Belinda was awesome, I can tell I'll like her. Nice to again have a companion stand up to the Doctor

+ I actually quite liked Gatwa's portrayal of the Doctor in this episode. Wasn't a fan of his acting last season, but it was a step up.

- The main enemy was pretty one dimensional, I didn't really like it.

- The every ninth word gimmick was neat till it was pretty much forgotten about.

- this is more of a personal nitpick, but I don't like the wide angle lenses they are using constantly.

- Of course the Doctor must cry at least once per episode 🙃

Overall a promising start, I'm cautiously optimistic. I don't like the 'pantheon' story so I hope there's more episodes like this that don't deal with that.
