And they do this same thing every new Doctor. They just front-load the first few episodes with the same tired tropes and enemies we’ve already seen, as if we need to be re-introduced to the same bullshit.

• Eccleston - A Dalek appears in the sixth episode in one of the worst episodes I’ve seen, and they make them a primary element of the last few episodes of the season
• David Tennant - Cybermen in the sixth and seventh episode, and they make them a primary element of the last few episodes of the season
• Matt Smith - Daleks in the third episode
• Peter Capaldi - Daleks in the second episode (hey, can’t be worse than Kill the Moon), Cybermen in the last few episodes of the season
• Jodie Whittaker - Daleks in the New Year’s special (I guess they tried to delay it?)
• Ncuti Gatwa - No Daleks or Cybermen, so maybe they learned their lesson?
