Doctor Who: Orphan 55 (2020)
DW hijacked by Greta Thunberg
The season opened with an excellent two-parter in Spyfall, and this seemed to be continuing that.
A resort on an unknown/unnamed planet being attacked by monsters.
A nice assortment of aliens.
A secondary storyline of personal family dysfunction (meh, but fine).
The classic warning about some corporation being so gung-ho about how they could, didn't bother to investigate whether they should.
Being forced into the monsters' native habitat, revealing the twist.
Why was this planet a bad place to build a resort?
-Hostile atmosphere?
-Invasion of the native species territory?
-Radiation left over from some past war?
?
Nope, just Greta Thunberg screaming at us.
Colony: The Big Empty (2018)
What's wrong...
This episode is a prime example of what is wrong with this series and so many others. They are more interested in protecting the cast than in telling a good story.
