Cold Blood

[poliphilo]

I'm all for referencing the old shows, but what's the point of reviving "classic" monsters when they're neither scary nor even particularly interesting? Poor old Chibnall drew the short straw I think.  If it had been me I'd have gone, "Oh no, not Silurians! Can't you give them to Gatiss?"

It was a very preachy episode. The Doctor was very preachy. I don't mind stories having morals, but I prefer them not to be heavily underlined and followed by exclamation marks.

Who is often stupid and crass and formulaic but it's very rarely as dull as this.

But I did like the ending.
