THE SILLIEST GUY TO EVER SILLY!!! mr ring a ding I love you so much you absolute icon. not only did he break the 4th wall he also made and broke a fifth wall

the diner guy's acting was so bad that it ends up being good. he was the absolute best part aside from mr ring a ding and deserved far more screen time . the halfway 1950s voice he does is absolutely awful I love it so much

I love the ending of this episode so much. not only is it a fun nod to just about every horror movie ever but we don't see it which means we can't be certain if the creature escaped. instead it just creates this uncertainty, and paranoia which is a wonderful call back to the midnight entity  also russell's commitment to blowing the budget on getting the rights to 'toxic' is easily the best thing ever.

"Ap Gwilliam was the most dangerous prime minister"

doctor. sweetie. I know why you dislike telling your companions everything but you're really going to tell them such an outright lie like that. your ex murdered a tenth of the earth population, faked first contact, and murdered the US president-elect, I think Roger has some steep competition  here

The doctor cries a lot throughout the episode but tears aren't just an emotional response. Tears act as a way for the body to regulate chemicals by literally crying them out. The doctor cried every time his adrenaline got up.

He wasn't just afraid. He was also physically regulating himself to stop the explosion

the one who waits is almost here.

space babies is definitely the episode I enjoyed the least of the season but I don't dislike it. structurally its a good story with the mystery being effective, but the space babies don't work with something being off about them and far too many questions about them being left unanswered. the specifics of this episode felt like it was just trying way too hard.

an overall solid opener, its got a bit of everything doctor who is known for and some singing goblins chucked in for good measure. ncuti and millie have some seriously good tension despite her being characterised as a cookie cutter nuwho companion. the goblin song is an absolute banger 10/10 would relisten

Barbara gets lost and the doctor is totally ready to just ditch her on the creepy radioactive planet plus a Dalek whimpers and moans in part 5

Susan Foreman: HI! I'M A SHOUTY GIRL!

this serial has everything: Ian and Barbara discovering more fruitiness whilst Susan has another manic episode, a fetch quest, a horror movie, a courtroom drama... and still room for weird scuba aliens.
