nym_wibblyThat was... a season. *headscratch*
I'll watch through from Whittaker's regeneration again before I try having major deep thinky thoughts, and I know from experience that I enjoy New Who more as a boxset than a weekly drip feed, but... Yeah, I think I still missed the point, there. It... hit all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order? It lacked the cohesion and satisfying pacing I've come to expect from RTD's works going back to Dark Season? I know Ruby better after this storyline than I know Fifteen, and can't square that with the new, more open and share-y Doctor?
Didn't hate it. Lost patience with it way too often and cringed more than I have since the tacky, nonsensical intro to the McGann pilot in 1996. Laughed where I was supposed to, went aww at the big kiss. Held my breath in genuine alarm during Ruby's near-solo ep. Followed the season arc, such as it was between musical interludes and left-field oddness. So, up from Flux. Down from New Who 2005 a la RTD.
