Boring as hell. Sixie and Evelyn were lovely, so was the brigadier.

That's it

Oh s**t, here we again

Again, hate to be a hater, but what the hell???

I wasn't expecting this episode to be good, like at all, but just turned out to be way worse than my worst expectations. Firstly, Susan? Who? I don't know her, do you? All that hype for her and then she doesn't appear at all. Rogue? No sign for him either. Although I enjoyed Anita being back and the use of the time hotel, it still is a cheap way escape the Doctor from certain death, but that's a corner Russell wrote himself up to.

So many explanations that are shallow, plain and rushed, just to move forward the many plots on the screen. Rani doesn't do anything and immeaditely is eaten by Omega, loads of lazy lore dump and plot exposition in the UNIT bridge, Belinda got sidelined again and what a disastrous use of Omega. They literrally pulled Omega, now a gray CGI mess, out of fin air, and the Doctor just blasts him away with the vindicator, barelly being 5 minutes into screen and doesn't represent any menace whatsoever.

Russell doens't know what's going on, what direction to go or even allow himself to write a sad ending. "Poppý is real!", "Poppy isn't real!", "Poppy is the Doctor's daughter", "Poppy isn't the Doctor's daughter!" C'mon Russell, pick up something and commit to it! Also, it's so weird this episdode endeded up being a regeneration story, because there's no arc being completed here, it's not a final showdown for 15, it's a forced regeneration due to Ncuti's decision to leave the Tardis. It was a little neat for the 13th Doctor to make a cameo, but honestly, why?? Her cameo doesn't change a thing in the story, if cut out of the episode we wouldn't miss it, it's just there because Russell wanted so.

Also, what a terrible way to regenerate the Doctor. I don't buy anything from it, at all. He simply giving his lifeforce away, because Russell can't allow himself to do a sad ending and have everyone go back to their normal lifes, with the cost of Wish World's Poppy never have existed (and she was never real). And with that, we've got Belinda being retconed as Poppy's mother and, all this time, she was trying to get home for her daughter all along.

And then, at last, the regeneration. It's nice that 15 regenerated in front of Joy, but what came after is just wrong. All of the suthen, Billie Piper's face is what we see after the regeneration. I don't hater Billie, she's a wonderful actor. What bugs me is  that they're repeating what they've done with the 14th Doctor. She was one the show's protagonists for 2 seasons, had plenty of cameos afterwards and even apperead on The Day of The Doctor and now she's The Doctor?? WTF???? This is truly the worst thing that could happen to Doctor Who, to endlessly recicle it's past, to appeal constantly to nostalgia, just to become a shallow representation of itself, with nothing new to say. The press material after the episode doesn't help either. She's not creddited as The Doctor anywhere, and they even say "who, why and when, you will have to wait to find out". No! Just no! Just commit to that dumb idea all the way through. You made her face to appear after the regeneration, so make her the Doctor. I just can't help myself to think that she is just stunt cast, a place holder Doctor, until they decide exactly what the next steps are going to be. But then again, why show her face at first? We could just have a open ended regeneration, like Jodies almost was, without showing any new face.

At the end of the day, it's Doctor Who and I love it so much I'll be watching whatever comes next up untill my last breath, but I can't help myself coming to a conclusion that this was Doctor Who at it's lowest. The worst episode ever, countig with the revival, with classic era, this is the worst of the worst, with even Dimensions in Time being a better experience than this one. I just hope RTD's day as showrunner are coming to an end, because we deserve so much better.

Hate to be hater, but honestly, what the Hellian was that?!?!!?

I dunno if it was the worst Doctor Who episode I've ever watched in nuwho, but it's definitely between the worst of the worst

What on earth Juno had on her mind writing Kid that way? He's cause is so goddamn legitimate, but no, she had decided going the lazy way and write him as a genocidal terrorist. Like, Poppy Honey wouldn't suffer anything from his plan, since he decided to transmit the rehersal. That company was still gaining a shitload of money, while he was hellbent on commiting genocide of trillions of spectators, of workers, across the galaxy. Honestly, Juno's commentary on the episode just goes on the wrong way in so many levels and the ultra campy tone of the episode just distracts us from the deep flaws on the the script. And don't get me started on the attrotious Rani reveal, that not only was badly executed, but it was badly built upon to.

This shitshow was basically a Kerblam 2, but WAY worse

Honestly, I don't want to see Juno Dawon involved in Doctor Who ever again

Ever since I first heard the rumors about a sequel to Midnight, I immediately thought it was nonsense.

The opening scene is just so goddamn bizarre. Like, it's so convenient that the spacesuits The Doctor and Belinda dress up on the closet room of the Tardis is just THE EXACT SAME suit used by that crew, specially given the fact they both didn't know before hand where the heck they were. The ship they arrive just conveniently having 2 extra helmets just waiting for them baffles me.

The episode was doing quite fine on its own, but by the moment they confirmed it was a sequel to Midnight, it became impossible to me to not compare to the original and oh boy, The Well doesn't live up to that task, even more so since it didn't bring anything substantially new to the table.

Russell seems to have have misunderstood why Midnight is damn special: The claustrophobic environment, The Doctor losing his own voice and control, The monster we barely understood its modus operandi or goal, the hostile terrain, the increasing paranoia and the questioning of the Doctor's authority...

I might end up considering The Well as a good episode later on, but it'll be forever something that lost the opportunity to shine on its own, because it decided to follow up on something that was already bright, timeless and perfect.
