Woohoo! The first episode of the 60th anniversary specials just came out and I was beyond overjoyed to watch it; I quite literally have been waiting for this episode since FOREVER. That being said, I did have some issues with it that I would like to point out- remember that these are my opinions and I would love your thoughts on them.
The tone- way too fast-paced, and it switched from happy, to sad, to happy again, all too quickly. I honestly was a little bugged about the visible shifts in tone, it felt like lazy writing to me.
Speaking of lazy writing- the ENTIRE metacrisis thing. It was handwaved away like it literally never happened. Kinda bugged me because it was a HUGE tragedy behind Donna's character, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lazier writing- the sonic screwdriver (that just literally came out of nowhere) can make shields now? The TARDIS magically got a new interior? It felt lazy to me because RTD didn't really bother to add any reasons behind this.
The musical cues- It felt like Murray Gold was yelling out from the screen and telling us what to feel.
The dialogue- it felt sort of jagged, especially when the Meep was getting escorted back home. Like someone wanted foreshadowing dialogue but didn't really bother to do it correctly
The aesthetics- this is honestly a really stupid complaint but I'm not a fan of the new logo and intro music- it felt way too acoustic for a sci-fi romp around space and time. Loved the intro, though! Just disliked how badly it meshed with the music. It sounded like a mishmash of all the themes but without any nuance; just a remix.
The acting- was very good in some places, but the blocking and pacing really made the acting seem odd.
Not enough stakes- yes, London's gonna be destroyed, womp womp, BUT the story didn't take enough time to build it up, to give the episode a real sense of danger.
HOWEVER, I loved some things here:
Rose's transition. LOVED this. I've never seen a show be more open about LGBTQ+ issues, and seeing the blatant transphobia at the beginning, Donna's mother struggling to adjust to her new pronouns, and the Doctor asking the Meep's pronouns- incredible, incredible, incredible.
The acting. I'm not the biggest fan of Tennant's Doctor but he was really fun to watch- I felt like a kid again watching him.
CGI- oh lordy lord the effects were INCREDIBLE. Even if the story was, not the best, it still had some incredible scenes and visuals that I'm falling head over heels for.
This episode was not perfect, and is definitely far from the best. But it was an excellent comeback for the show that defined my childhood and I can't wait for Wild Blue Yonder!

What do you think? How can I remember the name of this species? Sometimes my memory goes bad.

The DW Episode Tournament has been running for 4 months now (with a one month hiatus). With 74 polls and 5 rounds (plus a 3rd place poll) in total, this tournament has finally come to its end.
The results are as follows:
4th Place: A Good Man Goes to War
3rd Place: Heaven Sent
2nd Place: Blink
After 174 episodes and 74 polls, I have eliminated 173 episodes, leaving only one; the winner. If you have been keeping up with all the polls, then you'll know the winner:
1st Place: The Day of the Doctor
Yes, the 50th anniversary special won the tournament. Congratulations!
Like I have said at the closure of every poll in the tournament, thank you to everyone who voted. I have really enjoyed doing this tournament and I hope you've enjoyed voting in this. I'm gonna give this series another long hiatus, but in a few months, I'll be doing this tournament again, this time for Classic-Who stories.
Well, what do you think? Do you agree with the winner? If not, what is your favourite New-Who episode and why? Not story - just episode. Mine is The Family of Blood.
Even though the Doctor is a human for half of this episode, the development he gets in this single episode is incredible, not to mention the outstanding performances from everyone in this episode, specifically David Tennant and Harry Lloyd. No wonder it got nominated for several awards.
Thank you for reading this and taking part in this tournament.

In the past 3 months, I've been running a Doctor Who episode tournament (hence the name), admittedly with a one month hiatus. Over that time, all 174 episodes of the show since the revival (in 2005) have competed for a place in round 2. Obviously, many were eliminated in round one.
We move onto round 2. Compared to the 174 episodes which were in round 1, only 52 episodes managed to advance to round 2. I won't state which ones, as it would be quite long. Anyway, round 2 had 14 polls, one for each series, and then one for the specials. If this is boring you, I apologise. I am moving onto more interesting stuff now.
14 episodes have progressed to round 3. They are:
S1 - Dalek
S2 - The Girl in the Fireplace
S3 - Blink
S4 - Journey's End
S5 - Vincent and the Doctor
S6 - A Good Man Goes to War
S7 - Asylum of the Daleks
S8 - Mummy on the Orient Express
S9 - Heaven Sent
S10 - The Doctor Falls
S11 - Rosa
S12 - Fugitive of the Judoon
S13 (Flux) - Village of the Angels
Special - The Day of the Doctor
There will be four polls in round 3 (the first: S1-4, the second: S5-S7, the third: S8-10, the fourth: S11-13 & special). The winner of each shall proceed to round 4 (essentially the semi-finals), and it will be consist of two polls, each a 1v1. The day after, the two losing episodes shall play off in a 3rd place poll. Finally, the day after that shall see the final, between the two remaining episodes.
If you're still reading, thank you very much.

So... I'm planning on making a tournament between every New-Who Doctor Who episode to find out out the Fandom's favourite New-Who DW episode. I'll be going through the episodes chronologically as oppose to a random order.
This is a tournament between episodes NOT stories. Eg, Human Nature / The Family of Blood will be split up and may go against each other.
I have no idea how many rounds there will be, but I guess it'll go on for as long as it needs to. I'll try and post polls daily, but some days I might be busy, so... yeah.
Each series will have 2 rounds. The Most popular episode from each series will move onto round 3, along with the top special (which will also have 2 rounds), of which there will be four polls, comprising of three episodes each. The four winners will then go into one poll, and we'll get the top 4.
Please tell me if you want me to include Night of the Doctor and Day of the Doctor:
👍=yes
👎=no
I hope you enjoy this.
