I love kerblam! It's one of my favorite episodes, quite possibly the best thing from S11.

So I should probably hate this episode for what it represents and for what it does to the Doctor as a hero of the working class... But I'm just not going to beat myself for actually liking about 3/4 of the episode. It is fun, and the mystery is actually engaging. It just sucks that the resolution is so bad and out of sync with everything that came before (e.g. The Sunmakers, Oxygen...) I just know that if this were under Moffat the Doctor would have fudged that company up so bad. The Doctor is pretty badass as she confronts management for 40 minutes, and then at the end she does nothing to subvert the status quo (although you could argue that she knows that capitalism will end after the events in Oxygen, so she can't really alter the course of history, I don't believe they thought about that, it's my head cannon so I can sleep at night) PS: I agree with everything quantumshade wrote, great review.

I really enjoyed this one, fun adventure/mystery story at Amazon Kerblam. I also thought the bubble wrap twist was great. Very surprised with low ratings on this one. whitestar1993 View profile Like Liked 2 Show All Reviews (7) Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating769 members 2.57 / 5 Trakt.tv AVG.
