The Legend of Ruby Sunday

You have the fun! You have the scares! You have the heart! Wow just wow! What an episode! The pacing was absolutely perfect this episode! The plot unravelled in such a compelling way! The performances were all great! The effects were all fantastic! The music was thrilling and intense! This is probably the best part 1 to a finale the shows ever had!

This is what Doctor Who is all about! I sat watching the episode literally laughing because of how great it was and how much fun I was having watching it! This truly felt like RTDs first era more than any episode he's made since he's been back! It felt like the classic finale's he used to make! There's still part 2 to come and I'm so glad now I bought my ticket to see this in the cinema! This... This was made for the fans and it delivered tenfold! This is what Doctor Who is to me! I absolutely loved it!

You know I don't say it was bad, but... I expected something else. Even tho many prople says this episode is what doctor who is supposed to be about I didn't quite feel like it. There was parts I said "yeah it's alright but it's not it" It felt like something else than doctor who to me. More like a horror movie. In the end we have more opened questions then answered things. Felt just a bit messy for me and too much different. First half of the episode was just talking and second half was interesting but not quite what I would expect from Doctor Who.

Hopefully the 2nd part will be epic conclusion to all of this and as a two-parter it will bring more joy to the world 🙂 I said what I said.

It takes a lot for an episode of TV to make me feel what this episode made me feel. I watch so much TV these days that very rarely do I sit hooked to every line.

From the first 5 minutes I was drawn in to the mystery. Which I honestly didn't think was going to happen since this season has had so many ups and downs.

The ensemble cast truly excelled in ways that reminded me of old Dr Who.

I've been watching this show since I was 7 and every part of this episode reminded me of why I love it so much and why I keep coming back after the dud episodes.

RTD has done something unique and special with this season and it shows in this episode. He knows how to create a very slow build mystery that gives little to no detail throughout but pays off massively.

I am so glad he didn't bring back the same old monsters we are used to (The Master, Cybermen, Daleks etc). We needed something fresh that we haven't seen in a long time and this episode provided that. I am genuinely excited for the next episode something I haven't felt since RTDs first era.

A truly intense episode with a taste of classic 'why do I have to wait another week' doctor who. Full of tension, mystery, intrigue, the episode perfected what many other episodes in the series tried for, and was agonising close to. I physically could not stop watching and was disappointed when it ended, or rather because it ended. More fantastic acting from both Ncuti and Millie, arguably their best performances to date in Doctor who. Best episode of the new era and will be looked back upon as fondly (if not more so) as other classic old and new doctor who finales, and hopefully the second part will continue where this left off.

It's a big penultimate episode, The Doctor has two big questions to answer.

Russell T Davies delivered several epic finales, and this one, for my money, was another. Considering it's been a short series, he's managed to pile in so much, Susan, Mrs Flood, Ruby's rather complex story.

We knew something big was coming, this wasn't something I had expected, bravo Russell once again, I'm glad he decided to return to the show's glorious past.

The VHS Ruby Road scenes were great, so imaginative and different, that whole sequence looked amazing.

Did I detect a bit of a dig at Mrs May, and her infamous dance at conference, that was funny.

First class performance from Ncuti once again, loved that outfit, so cool, he certainly looked the part, his acting, he's phenomenal, and that glint in the eye. Anita Dobson, knockout!

I rather enjoyed Bonnie's performance, and it was so great to see the wonderful Lenny Rush. Rose was somewhat wasted I thought.

Can't wait for next week.

10/10.
