The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos

What was that. I'm speechless and that's not in a complimenting way.

The writing and plot lines have been terrible all season. The finale was tepid.

Well that was a poor end to a terrible season, writers you should be ashamed. As an episode it was ok but season finale NO. Let's hope as it's taking a year off they get better writers, and a better bloke in charge. Plus don't you find that Jodie seems like she's reading the lines but deffo does not have a clue what she's saying, good actress but needs to make people believe she's an intelligent Time Lord.

In a welcome return to pure science-fiction, the Doctor and her 'fam' respond to distress calls and end up on a planet strewn with the remnants of warships and a huge floating tower. A powerful psychic race (the Ux) has been duped by the Stenza 'Tzim-Sha' (the first enemy of this incarnation of the Doctor) into building him the ultimate weapon, which turns out to have the power to destabilize the universe. The Ux's capabilities are ill-defined but limitless, so not surprisingly, with enough pseudoscientific jabbering, the Doctor can figure out how to get them to fix everything. The whole story doesn't really make a lot of sense and once again the much feared enemy (in this case the robot warriors who are presumably responsible for much of the destruction around the tower) turn out to be pretty much incompetent (on a par with the hapless "sniper robots" in episode 11- 2). The script is full of silly non-sequiturs for the doctor to blather on about, strained pop-culture in-jokes ("Yippee ki yay, robots"), and simplistic ethics. Although some improvement over previous Jodie Whittaker outings, 'The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos' is pretty nondescript for a season finale. I will likely continue watching the series, but more out of habit more than out of interest.

This was actually underwhelming! What the H--- is this? Please pick up the broken pieces of Doctor Who and glue them back together for the new years special.
