The Star Beast!

:0 The whole episode was brilliant and funny and I'm v happy with DT and such's return:-)

However, the "women are better than men" vibes were uncomfy (please I'm not saying this as a butthurt man, I'm a lil queer nonbinary). I'm slightly on the fence with the binary binary nonbinary thing but I think they meant well. Highlighting gender (esp. nowadays on BBC) was brave and they did well. In terms of getting over the actual crisis of the metacrisis, would I have leant more on the child aspect - like Amy/Rory and River - yes, but I'm not the writer🤷 I'm not upset about it!

Can totally see they're Using. That. Budget. and as much as there's that meme of dw budget📉=quality📈 but! RTD has used it in the right way! Not to cover up poor writing or anything but to actually enhance what they have! like dude. The Meep. Those practical effect were stunning. The explosions and costumes were fab and mama don't get me started on that Tardis (shh yes I do prefer the 8th/12th cosy vibes but just because one is my favourite don't mean I can't love others).

I probs have more to say, like Yasmine and Ruth were brilliant! As was the music. But that's all I can think of right now <3

I'm so happy Doctor Who is BACK BABEYYY!!
