I'm assuming Nardole was introduced in the Christmas episode. I didn't watch that one since they're almost always garbage.

He was introduced in the Christmas Special before last years Christmas Special but he was also in that one too.

:psyduck: I had completely forgotten that episode even happened.

Oh, Skeletor has called a general election for June 8th. I thought she looked tired.

This is where Saxon comes in, right?

I like Bill, but I hope they're not going to keep on with this "she asks weird questions that wouldn't occur to anyone else" schtick. It feels incredibly forced.

Which questions rubbed you the wrong way? Nothing felt especially weird this week.

In this case it was the bit about not bringing the seats closer to the console. After nonsensical poo poo like remarking that the Tardis looks like a kitchen, it just feels like Moffatt trying way too hard to emphasise how down to earth and practical this person is by making her *absurdly* so. It feels like a parody.

Outside of these moments she's delightful, though.

You seem to be forgetting Psychic paper is a thing. It's been a thing the Doctor himself has used for ages now.

I think it's a shame that the paper is no longer referred to as "slightly psychic". I thought that was a cute detail.

I did get a laugh out of,"They're capable of building utterly seamless recreations of reality down to the atom, to the point that the NPCs are sentient.... but then they cheaped out and just made every npc access a singular RNG across the entire simulation."

I always find it really embarrassing whenever Moffatt tries to write about anything to do with computers. "I'm The Doctor and I saved them - to the hard drive!" still makes me cringe.

This whole thing felt like it was ghost written by RTD.

Speaking of controversial preferences, I think I might be the only person whose favorite DW episode is Paradise Towers.

I had it on VHS as a kid and watched it endlessly, so it does hold a special place in my heart.
