Not as good as Ep2
Ok so I had high hopes going into this episode.. and all I can say is.. I shouldn't have.
It's gimmick is fun, I like the non traditional pacing. Even if I'm beginning to think the massive mistakes is a problem. I don't like 13's characterisation as a bit of a dick... But not an "I'm arrogant because I'm smart" dick like 6 or early 12. But more like she's immature.. and almost like she's the least competent person in any given scene. Although that's more of an overall problem with Chibnall's writing of the character that's just particularly bad in this episode. Furthermore I dislike how Chibnall has doubled down on a particular plot element from the ending of s12 that I was personally hoping could be somehow retconned.. which is annoying but I'm enjoying Dan's arc but it's not the most original. And I don't rlly like Vinda and his backstory in this episode felt very.. Chibnall. You know why if you've watched it.
Overall I have little to say about this episode. It kind of deflated the little bit of good will Chibbers had developed so far, though an ok series so far.
