Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror

"Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror" was an enjoyable episode that managed to avoid the pitfalls of previous instalments from this season.

Goran Visnjic was tremendous as Tesla himself. His appearance in this tale was memorable and a highlight of the season so far.

Jodie Whittaker remains annoying but I actually found this a refreshing change and leap years ahead of the awful "Orphan 55".

7 out of 10. With echoes of classic Who, this is worthy of a viewing.

This was one of the better episodes I have seen since Capaldi's regeneration. Is it a 10/10? Absolutely not. But people who are giving this episode a 1/10 or a rating under a 5 for that matter are not giving it a chance and don't go in watching with an open mind.

This season is getting better slowly but surely compared to the last one and for this I am glad.

I enjoyed this episode and think the writers are trying to do better and it shows.

So please ignore the highly negative reviews if you haven't watched this episode yet and go watch it and enjoy the show :)

Nikola Tesla made for an interesting person to study, and Goran Visnjic was a terrific bit of casting, he was excellent.

I did rather enjoy this, it certainly had energy, and in all fairness it had some excellent production values, some of the shots looked fantastic. The lighting was much, much better than we've had in recent times, making the monsters look so much better. The Queen of The Skithra did seem to bear a striking resemblance to The Queen of The Racnoss.

I would argue this was Jodie's most accomplished performance since Rosa, she had more conviction, she showed some metal facing up to The Scorpion Queen. There was some depth here, the memories of Gallifrey etc. I thought she was rather good.

They can't help but have a dig about capitalism, whether you agree or not, weekly receiving the message on Dr Who is not the place, even Pertwee gave us a break once in a while. They are struggling to make the companions useful, efforts to give Yaz more to do are sacrificing Graham unfortunately, Ryan sadly was barely in it. Unlike last week though it ends with a welcome positive message.

There was a more classic vibe going on here. I liked it. 7/10

Absolutely adored this episode. Great portrayals, funny and action packed with creepy aliens and wonderful production values. Haven't had this much fun with Doctor Who in a long time! Possibly the best of the Chibnall era

Enough said really. Earlier today, I watched a couple of the Tennant era episodes and missed Doctor Who feeling that way. It used to be real with real people and real stakes. Although clearly fiction, this episode managed to make the characters feel multi-dimensional and recaptured the good old days feeling of real life.
