It's all good, man
I didn't manage the second episode, yet, but I'm not holding out much hope.Tbf, every season has its stinkers. Just a pity it had to be the first episode...

Les Mis would have been much better without the singing. I can't see how Dr Who could possibly be better for it.Depends on how one feels about musical elements and LGBT representation.
Purely my opinion as a musical fan.Les Mis would have been much better without the singing. I can't see how Dr Who could possibly be better for it.
Oh, I think there’s a lot more to opinions than that. I thought the idea was good, but that there was a lot wrong with the execution.It's upset some delicate souls but it's imho, an improvement.

It's quite experimental and some excellent cinematography but will certainly divide some people and add to the endless boring culture wars.
Certainly the bootleg Beatles wrere quite bizarre.Oh, I think there’s a lot more to opinions than that. I thought the idea was good, but that there was a lot wrong with the execution.
1. The portrayal of the Beatles was rubbish. They weren’t convincing. In 1963 when recording their first album, Paul was 20 and George was 19. They weren’t 40-year-olds in bad wigs.
2. The music theory was garbage. The notes the Doctor played to torture the Maestro were not the intervals that formed the chord that banished them.
3. The chord that banished the Maestro was a straight major chord with no extensions. Such a vanilla chord would have ended up banishing the Maestro every minute of the day. The piano teacher in 1925 must have played several.
4. The song and dance routine at the end “There’s Always A Twist At The End” played no part in the story at all. It was just tacked on as an afterthought after the conclusion of the action. That was just embarrassing.
5. The Maestro themself pushed scenery chewing past previous bars set by the Master/Missy and the Toymaker.
6. The feel of the episode was something new in Who, and one I’m not sold on yet.
I much preferred the first episode. Despite the fact that the baby lip synching was unconvincing because our brains were telling us babies that age don’t talk. And despite the lack of effort in explaining why the babies were talking and had developed in that way in the first place.
And when it’s not one’s own subject of special interest that’s probably fine. But when it is, it’s irritating.As for music accuracy, going to venture the opinion that occasional the show isn't always on the ball when it comes to real life...
I know I’ve ventured this opinion before and I’m pretty sure you were dismissive of it at the time…And when it’s not one’s own subject of special interest that’s probably fine. But when it is, it’s irritating.
It must not have been my topic of interest. Did they do some actuarial work wrong once?I know I’ve ventured this opinion before and I’m pretty sure you were dismissive of it at the time…
I was hugely disappointed by the first episode. I couldn't wait for it to end. The CGI talking babies didn't work for me at all and I couldn't get past that.Oh, I think there’s a lot more to opinions than that. I thought the idea was good, but that there was a lot wrong with the execution.

You didn't appreciate the mavity of the mistake.It must not have been my topic of interest. Did they do some actuarial work wrong once?
Physics, if I remember correctly. The physics of music, specifically.It must not have been my topic of interest. Did they do some actuarial work wrong once?
Oh, are you sure that didn’t annoy me too? It seems like something I’d be annoyed by. Unless Martha did it.Physics, if I remember correctly. The physics of music, specifically.
To be fair, that might have been one of the occasions that both you and I were annoyed and others were telling us that we should ignore everything we know because space magic. The time it was just you telling me I should ignore everything I know because space magic may have been something else.Oh, are you sure that didn’t annoy me too?

As I recall, kabbes you got annoyed at the portrayal of Isaac Newton as a chipper fellow and danny la rouge didn't care. But maybe you are thinking about the way the Giggle got transmitted through the ether or something.To be fair, that might have been one of the occasions that both you and I were annoyed and others were telling us that we should ignore everything we know because space magic.

That’s true! I didn’t care about that.As I recall, kabbes you got annoyed at the portrayal of Isaac Newton as a chipper fellow and danny la rouge didn't care. But maybe you are thinking about the way the Giggle got transmitted through the ether or something.
But then you said you would care about Duke Ellington playing the violin or something, and lo! it came to pass.That’s true! I didn’t care about that.
Karma came and got me. I don’t even believe in karma in that sense. But the Toy Maker and the gods outside the Universe are so powerful that that doesn’t stop them.But then you said you would care about Duke Ellington playing the violin or something, and lo! it came to pass.
Thought that during McCoy's era. But some people love that period.It really has become TV for small children and the otherwise ignorant
This Gods shit can fuck off too. Ruby/Rose/cannon fodder of the week describing them as gods I'm fine with but the Doctor? Piss off.Karma came and got me. I don’t even believe in karma in that sense. But the Toy Maker and the gods outside the Universe are so powerful that that doesn’t stop them.
Tbf, the Guardians were pretty much godlike in the Baker era.This Gods shit can fuck off too. Ruby/Rose/cannon fodder of the week describing them as gods I'm fine with but the Doctor? Piss off.
None of this is persuading me to bother watching the new episodes
Yeah. Godlike. I may be wrong but I don't think The Doctor referred to them as gods.Tbf, the Guardians were pretty much godlike in the Baker era.
