And, like, that's so weird, because I didn't think last season was so bad? I don't remember it being any worse than a regular season of Who, at least. And while some stuff didn't click, it at least felt like a new group of creators was trying some new moves. And HOLY SHIT did I appreciate them not trying to do a Big Mystery for the season, since that's 100% why I stopped watching the Moffat stuff.

This season though, feels real up and down so far. I didn't watch the newest episode, despite it being thoroughly ruined through a number of headlines, so I can't speak to that one yet. But, like, the premiere had a great Master performance (that dude had the only good scene in the first season of Iron Fist, perfect choice for The Master) and a villain plot that really lost itself, that "Orphan 55" story has got to be the most infuriating episode I've ever seen, if not the worst, and the Tesla episode had some fun ideas but also was a little derivative. Like, maybe I'll feel differently about it in a year and I look back, and they've got a whole lot to go this season that could be amazing, but so far it's not super doing it for me this season.
