The first twenty minutes of this episode I had to constantly stop and research the last episode or characters from before so I would be able to understand what was going on.
I know all the stories and arcs and characters from before Capaldi took over and most of what happened in Capaldi's time as the Doctor. I have almost no recollection of anything that happened during 13s time and that tells you everything you need to know about Whitaker's era. Which is a shame, since I like her but Chibnall seems determined to give her nothing to work with and to bury everything that made Doctor Who great. He needs to be replaced like, 2 years ago.
This episode gives no answers, has as many plotholes as that godforsaken Spider episode we last saw Chris Noth in and the only thing that makes it bearable is John Barrowman as Jack Harkness but even he makes me sad 'cause he got old, which reminds me that I got old as well which is not ok.
I just miss the old Who and also the new old Who (9, 10, 11). This here feels wrong. Where are the great companions and side characters that got real development? Do you remember Harriet Jones, Prime Minister? We knew who she was. Here I have trouble to remember what the companions are called.
I never thought I would say that but maybe it's time that I gave up on this show. For years it was the best thing in the universe. Now? It's not and it breaks my heart.
