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 a decent opener for this new season. The story is good, but it was not the best, just feel a little empty.

I have to say i find a little bit unrealistic how Miss Belinda is literally kidnapped for robots and she just accepts it somehow, like it's a normal thing.

I hope the next episode could surpass the expectations, this serie has an enormous potential.

The visuals were amazing, same quality as the first season and i certainly love that.

Really love the endings with that little "taste" for the upcoming episode.

To end this review; i felt like it was nothing new but it was still entertaining.

That's it.

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.

The latest episode of Doctor Who delivers a breathless, action-packed opening to the new season, setting the stage for what promises to be an electrifying chapter in the Doctor's adventures. Fast-paced, sharply written, and brimming with excitement, this premiere strikes the perfect balance between fresh energy and classic Who charm.

One of the standout elements is the new companion, who immediately makes a powerful impression-both in performance and character. She brings a compelling strength and presence that feels like it will recalibrate the dynamic between her and the Doctor. There's a spark of equality in their rapport, reminiscent of Clara's tenure (a companion who, admittedly, divided fans but whose assertiveness and wit I always admired). If this premiere is any indication, we're in for a fascinating push-and-pull between the two leads-one that could redefine the Doctor-Companion power balance in exciting ways.

The writing is tight, the pacing relentless, and the sense of adventure infectious. If the season maintains this level of quality-keeping the stakes high, the character dynamics sharp, and the storytelling bold-then we're in for an exciting ride.

Bring on the next episode-the TARDIS is back in top form!

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.
