every time a dalek shows up on doctor who i want to shake a writer. HOW MANY TIMES do we have to go through “omg the most dangerous creature in the universe” and “all the daleks are dead”??? like either stop bringing them back or stop pretending like they’re all dead. and how scary can they be when they’re regularly defeated by one time lord. miss me with this shit. not every companion needs to meet daleks and cybermen i’m SICK OF IT

that ending was utter shite. so no explanation for the snow that she could miraculously create? her parents end up being some random people and don’t get me started on the bad cgi pointing. the doctor abandons ruby because she has more family (despite a lot of companions juggling family and the doctor)?
like sutek’s death was unexplained? are we supposed to believe that the absolute god of death was able to get killed and as simple as that? also the doctor going “you’re making me be like you and making me kill a living thing 😠😠😠”like babes you’ve literally committed mass genocide before and killed so many people but go off i guess. like you aren’t this pure angel who is only being forced to be a monster now, you’ve been a monster all along the oncoming storm timelord victorious the predator the valeyard
all that build-up this season for NOTHING AT ALL with a rushed ending

Not sure how to articulate this because it's going to sound a bit mean/showrunner discoursey, which isn't what I'm going for because I do like RTD and I have enjoyed the previous three eps (Ruby Road, Space Babies, Devil's Chord), but none of them have risen above a 7/10 for me (an RTD 7/10 to be clear, which is very different from the 7/10s I was handing out to some of the Chibnall episodes), and imo Boom just kinda further highlights their flaws in comparison. Part of it is just a style thing - Moffat's writing gels with me more than RTD's does - but it's also a lot more polished imo. Devil's Chord in particular I found extremely messy in a way that I could've forgiven if it had been more fun (and clearly it did work for a lot of people), but the villain fell flat for me, and without them there's just kinda nothing else there. Space Babies charmed me more than I think it did other folks but the cute babies were doing all the heavy lifting. I need more substance and this is the first ep that's delivered imo.
