After a somewhat promising first part, the season finale for #DrWho, #EmpireOfDeath was another monumental letdown. Zero plot, incredibly unsatisfying resolution, rubbish use of a classic baddy, and poorly handled adoption scenario, mostly disregarding Ruby’s true mother: the one that raised her.
#73Yards and #DotAndBubble aside (and some elements of #DevilsChord), this was a really weak season. Bad enough that I’m not eagerly looking forwards to more #DoctorWho. Which is really quite sad.
#DoctorWho #DevilsChord was a lot better than #SpaceBabies and #Maestro was an absolutely delightful baddy with a delicious performance by #JinkxMonsoon. It's just a pity they didn't use the setting a bit more and honestly the plot was kind of razor thin.
So not yet stunning, but not painful to watch either.

This week’s second bonus episode looks at the Doctor Who episode, the Devil’s Chord.
Simon and Eugene discuss a missed opportunity for a respectful pastiche of the Beatles, whether bi-generation will be reversed, and whether Ruby is an abominable snowman.
