After suffering through the first three episodes of this season, with awful predictable and annoying characters with low intellect and horrible dialogue, the fourth episode really just made me.... so incredibly disappointed. I don't know if they changed the team of writers or got a new director. The main cast and supporting cast are actually quite good actors. It's the script and dialogue that completely ruins the show this season. The doctor over-dramatically uses her new sonic screwdriver, posing awkwardly every time she uses it. Once you notice it you will never unsee it. The hotel guy in this episode had a completely exaggerated and bonkers personality. These kinds of characters are so unrelatable and so unrealistic that it doesn't even make sense when they speak! WHO WROTE THIS? FIRE THEM QUICKLY! THEY'RE RUINING THE SHOW!
Doctor Who has managed to bring something fresh every season with basically every single incarnation of the doctor and his/her companions being unique, interesting, funny or generally likable, peaking with Peter Capaldi's masterful performance, especially during the Hell Bent and Heaven Sent episode.
Now I wanna be clear: I thought it was really interesting and cool that they went with a female doctor, and I think Jodie Whittaker is a really good actress. But with Jodie they've wasted her acting skills on (and I never thought I'd use this word) woke nonsense and politically motivated scripts. I'm actually fine with focus on race issues or minority struggles, but it has to be well done. The plot is not even sub-par. It's so NOT complicated and so straightforward that it all feels forced. VERY forced. And very boring. It's as if it was fanfic written by a teenager. It's an insult to the fans. And SPIDERS? Nothing in this episode made sense. I could have forgiven the bizarre giant spider plot if only the dialogue and characters contributed anything of value, but the writers ensured that they couldn't even do that!
This was my favorite show until whoever wrote this season got a chance to "shine". This stinks. Writers: If you read this then SHAME ON YOU! Go back to writing school. You're ruining a masterpiece of a show...
