The Orville: Ja'loja (2018)
Make it shorter
I was hoping after the middling first season, that the writers might really get their teeth into the second season. Instead we get this big fat dud! Every time a commercial break came I thought 'wait, nothing happened again.' Apart from the problem with tone, not knowing when to be serious, light hearted or edgy, I think the main problem is the show's too long, or rrather the ideas aren't good enough to sustain the run time. I may watch the next couple of eps but if there is no improvement I think I may have to start watching Star Trek Discovery and I don't wanna!
Doctor Who: Resolution (2019)
Another meh episode
Whislt the plot wasn't terrible, the whole family dynamic stuff was just tacked on - not badly written, simply from another show. Oh and by the way the 'jokes' just fell a bit flat. Please stop it Chris.
Doctor Who: It Takes You Away (2018)
Bonkers but brilliant
Well it's taken a while. This is proper, old-school Doctor Who, in that it doesn't make much sense but whilst it's doing that it makes you scared, excited, amused, confused and emotional.. Still not sure about Team Who, still too many in it for my liking. I find it dilutes the impact of any of the emotional scenes. That said, that final 'Granddad' felt hardwon and therefore genuinely moving.
