SEASON 2 - EPISODE 1 - THE ROBOT REVOLUTION
Better than SPACE BABIES is the best I can say about this episode.
The storyline of THE ROBOT REVOLUTION can be quite perplexing. The
temporal mechanics involving Belinda and Alan are difficult to grasp.
This is a common trait in Russell T Davies' storytelling, where the
concepts often overshadow the structural intricacies of the plot. His
ideas are always big but the plot mechanics get left behind. The pacing
is incredibly rapid, jumping from one idea to the next with little time
taken to explore the details.
Despite some clumsy social commentary, the latest series opener,
propelled only by Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu’s somewhat refreshing >doctor-companion dynamic, barely manages to stick the landing - much
like the once-reliable TARDIS which now seems to have lost its way - not >unlike modern dr who IMHO.
This is the beginning of the end, no question.

For sure!
The robots did look like something that came out of a Marvel
film but they were ten times better than a bogey monster!

The end of RTD involvement in DW and not DW itself.

Hence why RTD so go! And Moffat and Chibnall should not get
consideration.

Yeah...let's reflect on that. The standard we are comparing this
episode to is...Space Babies. That would be like when I had my stroke
20 years ago if the doctor came in and said, "Well, you had a minor
stroke. But look at the bright side, at least you didn't have a /major/ stroke."

If RTD goes it's very likely the show goes too.

No! Showrunners in the BBC exists.

With overnight ratings of two million for the new season's
opening episode I'm sorry to say that it looks like the show is
only going in one direction...
What are all the nay-sayers going to do when the show is
cancelled, throw a party to celebrate? Then look at each other
in boredom for a decade as they have no Doctor Who to bitch to
each other about?

Ironically enough, if Doctor Who was to go forward with a new
showrunner it would probably need the likes of a
Disney/Netflix/Amazon (etc.) to survive and help with the
costs... despite what the BBC might claim, I doubt they have the
money to make a season of Doctor Who for 2026 and make it look
good... we all saw what limited BBC budgets did to Doctor Who in
the 1980's!
If Disney pulled the plug on their funding for Doctor Who I
reckon the BBC will do the same for the show itself.
