Wish World

Oh boy I really hope next week sticks the landing.

Awesome episode. Really surreal mysterious Wandavision vibes that really pay off at the end. So many plot threads culminated together and so many new ones too!! I have no idea where this is going but this is defo one of the best in the series and if the finale is great then this is gonna be one of the nest two parters!

The Rani is awesome! Still got that complexity and performed masterfully. Meanwhile Ncuti, Varada and Millie give their all in performances that are very different from usual. So much awesome stuff to dissect ib this episode, all so well paced and built up. I can't wait to see where it goes!

Wish world is a truly intriguing episode that captivates from Start to finish. Being a surprisingly creative choice that builds anticipation that hopefully is payed off in the finale.

This episode was visually excellent from the overall world created with the roaming Skelton Dinosaurs to the house interiors. The production design throughout is wonderful.

Everything in this episode brings scepticism and doubt, which perfectly links to this episode, questioning everything in the world that is created.

I did like the cameos we got in this episode and actually wish we had even seen more that highlights how the last 2 seasons have been building to this moment.

Conrad was used excellently during this episode which again links to that point of skepticism that was explored in a lucky day and The Rani were good throughout, however I wish to see more of them in the finale especially with the Doctor.

Overall, this a Marvelous episode that elegantly establishes the stakes for the finale that hopefully this time can be payed of. I Wish !

The Doctor and Belinda find themselves living in a world of domestic bliss, but things aren't quite as they seem.

Exciting and surreal, a combination in Doctor who that I've always enjoyed. This was a great watch, one for all fans of the show, new and old.

Talk about an Easter egg hunt! Everything that's happened since the show came back under Russell's stewardship has significance here; it's all carefully woven in.

This has to be the best-looking episode of Doctor Who ever! It was jaw-dropping, from the dinosaur skeletons to The Rani's base (possibly her TARDIS?); it looked incredible. When Archie Panjabi appeared, it was a mix of joy and sadness. She's wonderful! I didn't want Anita to be sidelined. She's been a feature for so long; she deserved to be the big villain. She doesn't quite get enough of the action, but there are seeds of rebellion.

I liked the fact that Bonnie Langford appeared here, fitting as she appeared in Time and the Rani, I hope the pair meet again.

One thing troubled me about last week's episode: The Rani stating she wanted to destroy The Doctor. That's never what she was about; she's definitely back to her original ways here. Great detail about The Doctor's past with The Rani; I loved that.

When Anita Dobson arrived to speak to Belinda, I honestly thought Cressida Dick had made a comeback to The Force.

I can't wait for the conclusion, I just hope that's not met by news of cancellation, why on Earth does the media have such an obsession with the show being put on hold?

9/10.

Yes, I chose that title on purpose. But if you blink during this episode you might miss an Easter egg. And this episode was chock full of them! Not to mention a lot of twists and turns, a surprise face or two.

There's a lot going on here and it can be a little difficult to follow. Even at the end I still have a lot of questions that I'm hoping have resolutions next week. If you haven't watched classic Who, a few things might be lost on you. But RTD has been bringing back a lot of the OLD days, and I am loving it. Beautiful visual effects in this episode; I loved the skeletal dinosaurs! I really don't want this season to end, but I'm very excited to see how it all comes together.

It's clear that this new iteration of Doctor Who is far far better, complex and actually interesting than whatever was conjured up with the previous Doctor Who but I still feel that we are far to getting what we used to enjoy.

I appreciate the high levels of acting and complexity - it's something we've missed. But I just can't get over how bad the pacing has been in episodes this season. Maybe 45 minutes just isn't enough for these storylines because there's great content and complexity here, it's just not done well at all.

You get intriguing plot points that, given time to manifest, could become something great but we just jump over them before they marinate properly. This leads to plot holes, tacky acting, cheap shots and just underwhelming stuff.

It feels like there's a plot, and without meticulously delivering it, it's just thrown at the viewer in chunks because there are so many pointless scenes.

Big finale up ahead. It could be great.
