#while at the same time just regurgitating 2005s lamest plot beats

you know what, it was on me for expecting anything different from mr russell t 'all the information i ever need about anything happening in the world i get from the front page (and *only* the front page) of the guardian' davies but. the nuclear winter caused by *checks watch* No Piano really. really broke me.

#i know i know it's just a silly sci fi it doesn't have to make sense!! #but I think there's a difference between like #hand waving fun #and genuinely lazy writing #if you're going to be so self righteous and congratulatory about your work #you better actually DO THE WORK #that was just so....boring #dismally unintellectual #dr who at its best always manages to hit the right balance between fun for kids and actually being a bit clever #this was so flat and uninterested in saying anything beyond the obvious #AUGH anyway thats my untagged rant of the week sorry if you genuinely liked it by all means keep on doing that #i'm just mildly devastated at the idea that the show is somehow both engaging with wild and whacky EU stuff #while at the same time just regurgitating 2005s lamest plot beats #absolute nightmare of a situation #ncuti gatwa is the only saving grace of any of it and man's HOLDING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED #but he's too busy being drowned out by twee violins and the sound of 75 million trumpets to have a chance in hell. absolutely devastating.
