Yeah, it's another goddamn disaster from the Chibnall era. I really wanted to enjoy this adventure and at first I was down to explore this futuristic ship. Even the cutesy monster isn't necessarily objectionable if it is done well. I found the effects and the acting around them were really awkward though. The male pregnancy thing isn't really that funny. It's interesting, and maybe worth exploring but not really great as just a joke, which is all I can really make of the character since he isn't really used meaningfully otherwise, other than the character getting pressured into keeping the baby later on.  It felt forced and weird, as if we were just looking for stuff for Ryan and Graham to do.  They feel so wasted in their role as companions in the Chibnall era and episodes like this are a good example of them not really having much to do, let alone grow them as characters.

It's a non-story where stuff happens and nothing really feels connected. There's no concrete heart to this episode, no sense of focus or purpose.  Our characters do stuff until the conflict goes away.  It feels like a soulless product, devoid of any sense of urgency or danger even though there really should be. I was so excited by the idea of this taking place on a medical ship, but it never feels like we really engage with this setting much beyond it just sort of filling out the cast of one-off characters. These actors simply cannot salvage a script this bad and this full of silly lines and such broad, inauthentic dialogue that doesn't want to have any sort of real message or thought to it. This might be one of the worst in all of the dud Chibnall episodes. He's admitted to at least one first draft slipping through production during this time, and I understand this one was also rushed through, likely without a lot of second thoughts.
