It doesn't have any really embarassing performances or ideas, like Fear Her or Love and Monsters.

Benni! Benni!! Oh, Benni! Where's my Benni?

Yeah, I would definitely rate this among the worst of Doctor Who.

Is she really down there with Chloe Webber, though? I mean, be honest, really?

Really absolutely she is.

I pretty much liked all of it, including the goofy Racnoss scorpions.

The Doctor's stance on killing is still a bit strange though. Cold blooded murder is okay as long as it's not with a gun?

I loved seeing a bit of the Doctor's furious arrogance coming through in those final moments. It was one of my favourite aspects of Capaldi's whole 'difficult decisions' shtick.

Also, some genuinely tense and creepy moments here as well (baby being replaced by bones, Cyberman feigning human emotions before turning on Mary Shelley).

Basically, more of this whole episode please.

You may just get your wish:

Get in!!

It's also very telling that Chibnall's hands weren't all over this episode because it was well-paced and the resolution didn't feel rushed.

The way I see it, Doctor Who is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
