The Robot Revolution

I personally don't get as excited by companions who are immediately ready for traversing time and space whilst possessing little concern for their own well-being when it comes to time traveling with a complete stranger.

Which is why I am deeply excited to see Bel's character in future episodes. I can't wait to watch how her and the Doctors dynamic evolves.

Without fail, Nucti has been so fun to watch as the Doctor. He brings so much to his character, causing me to harbor even greater respect for him as an actor.

The clothes Nucti is put into is everything I wish it to be and more.

From how I see it, Doctor Who is meant to be an escape from reality and a source of joy. This episode certainly accomplished that for me.

This was brilliant! A very strong season opener that was so much fun. Really well paced, a great dynamic between Ncuti and Verada. The story was really good too and all added up at the end.

It's so great to have a bit of confrontation from the companion, there is already more depth and heart displayed here that is very welcomed.

It looks so good too, there's a certain scene in the third act where the visual effects just shine.

Intrigued to see how the Mrs Flood mystery pans out and what it is exactly stopping them from returning home. Should be great to see them visiting so many different places without returning to present day earth.

Fan of Dr. Who, All seasons, all actors (exception Cristopher Eccleston and first sesaon with Jodie Whittaker) All my heart in it.

Once stated that , I m failing to understand (and maybe I m lacking in acceptance too) why in god s name this Doctor´s been given this I_m_in_love_with_life_and_I_m_extremely_sensitive _to_all_flowers personality (this said with James Blunt "you re beautiful" as soundtrack.

No sign of the uncanny wisdom utterly mindblowing, groundbreaking, astonishing.. (and all the grandious adverbs you may use here) the doctor used to display to solve universe scale conflicts and at the same time, being able to move us (the audience) without veering into cheesy territory, or...to show more respect that THIS Dr Who is showing to its audience, I could say "overly sentimental". I refuse to use the word "cloying"......yet.

I hope, as this second season goes on, the grey matters could have been able to take the doctor out of ICU.

Season 2 is off with a bang. From the get-go, this was a thrill with every question of the series being set up and some surprises along the way.

Varada Sethu is glorious and comes out with some clever quips, smart takes and feels already more dimensional than other companions have felt in a full series. Her tonal shift is a conflicting watch, but that's what's keeping me on my toes.

Although the plot wasn't particularly inventive, it does remind me that this show is a family show and to be experienced as so. The vivid design, the colourful scenes, the wonder of it all is what makes this show special. If you're watching this episode in hopes of a horror sci-fi feel, I'm afraid you're not going to get it. If you're watching for some light, silly entertainment, you're getting a smash hit.

I will say, there were perhaps one too many familiarities with arcs seen in older seasons of the show, not even necessarily just RTD era level. I feel the scope of the show has grown exponentially and our head writer is going ham on that too scale-wise. Sometimes less is more, perhaps.

Despite this, 'The Robot Revolution' is still a fun escape from reality whilst still making an on-the-nose reference to our world as we know it. Don't stress though, it's nothing that'll distract from the story where Belinda truly is the one to watch.

If you enjoy the vibes of New Earth, this one is definitely for you. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's definitely worth checking out and it's a cracking introduction to the series.

That's how you should introduce a new companion and season. Definitely an intriguing start that can hopefully maintain this tone. A compelling episode that definitely subververting initial expectations into an interesting narrative. While I can admit that the first revelation of the main plot of the episode did make me chuckle by the end of the episode is left me regained my attention. The episode has it's doctor and companion introduction moments while feeling somewhat fresh and interesting reaction that should definitely be enlightening going forward with the season. The favourite moment for me during this episode was the moment between sasha 55 and the doctor that tells you everything you need to know about the implications that come with the trusting the doctor. Finally, I didn't see anything.
