  • That was a really good episode!

    I didn’t understand the thing at the end with the airlock though. We saw two troopers and Aliss go out, but the sign said there’s four people inside. So the creature left on the back of one of the troopers (presumably Mo?, the short-hair black trooper). But then it turns out the creature is in the locker room? So there are two creatures now?

    And wtf was Cassio (the mutiny trooper) doing?? Why does there exist a legal mutiny rule that only needs two people to enact? How many times has someone just done a mutiny as a practical joke and got a bunch of people killed? Cassio has an ego so big that after killing the only trooper that supported him (bald white guy) he didn’t step down or anything, he just kept murdering his squad. Well done for the commander for killing him, there’s no need to try to explain your actions. That was the obvious right thing to do before Cassio got you all killed.

    Great to have an episode that leaves me thinking rather than just completely puzzled and bemused

    extremely activist about hating modern Windows and extremely reluctant to use anything else.

    I’m in this picture and I don’t like it. I have Linux on my laptop but I cba dealing with bootloaders on my desktop and can’t lose Windows altogether.

    (Last time I tried dualbooting was with XP I think, so probably it’s a lot easier now than it used to be but still…)

    I only “upgraded” to Windows 10 (from 7) last year due to software I needed for work. Windows 10 is bad enough, I’m definitely not “upgrading” to 11 until I have to.

    In my experience, 10 runs much slower than 7 with so many updates that just kill performance as they’re running. And I’ve had pop-up adverts recently and programs that open on startup despite being disabled











  • Although, there were a few iffy things. Like Belinda saying “I can stand up for myself” when that rebel questioned her, then just… repeating what the doctor said and not standing up for herself? It seems like a perfect opportunity to point out that she was kidnapped and wasn’t there by choice. Literally none of it was her fault. It’s Alan’s fault for murdering a bunch of people. She didn’t even realise that she’d accidentally bought Alan to the planet at that point, so why is she taking the blame?

    Also, she’s very correct to point out that the Dr is not behaving well and she just wants to go home, but (out of universe) we can expect her to be around for a season of episodes so… let’s hope she keeps up the “please don’t kidnap me” energy and doesn’t just forget about it to be a regular companion


  • Felt like a forgettable Dr Who episode from 15 years ago. Like, the episode wasn’t great but it definitely had that Dr Who feel which I will absolutely take. The nine words thing was inspired and could have been great, except that they kept forgetting about it. I rewatched the whole thing, pausing and counting words, and I only noticed one time it came up without being highlighted and honestly it was probably a coincidence since it only happened once - the AI Generator said “Belinda - Mine”. But most of the time when the robots should have missed a word they just responded normally.

    But hey, that’s probably my biggest complaint! Imagine watching an episode from a couple of years back and that’s the worst problem with it!
