Honestly, I thought Robot of Sherwood was the best of Capaldi's first three. Deep Breath was unpleasant, and Into the Dalek was just a less interesting version of Rob Shearman's story.
Robot of Sherwood was a moderately amusing twist on the story, and I liked how Capaldi's Doctor hated every minute of it. This was in the pre-hoodie phase, so he wasn't an embarrassing grandad yet. He was the grump who mocked the embarrassing grandads.

I finally gave in and watched both of them. f*cking hell. Those have got to be two of the worst episodes of any tv show I've ever seen.
I feel bad at ever saying the Flash lost its way in season 9. Even the worst shit of the Flash looks like Planet of the Apes compared to this.
WTF did I just watch? A monster made from baby snot? babies with CGI mouths that look like a creepy uncanny valley? Condensed baby farts released into space so it looks like the ship is farting? Ruby steps on a butterfly and becomes a butterfly woman, and so the Doctor breathes life into the butterfly and then sets up butterfly paradox machine to stop that happening? How does that work? Does that mean he can change time any way he wants to? Since when could his breath bring people back to life? It's like f*cking Shark Repelent Batspray. Ncuti Gatwa I'm sorry is f*cking awful. He can barely deliver any line without it sounding forced and his accent is all over the place.
Meanwhile the Devils Chord is even worse. Jinx Monson was f*cking atrocious. This is her performance AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH or HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA or calling someone honey, or babes and then going AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH followed by HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. That's it. That's all there was to her character. Meanwhile the effects like killer music notes strangling people, the final song and dance number with the companion dueting with Cilla Black, and the two minutes of Ruby playing a dull song are were all ridiculous, though still not as absurd as the plot. The villains plan is to take away all good music so that humans can't express themselves and then kill each other in a war. It's like that episode of the 60s Batman where Catwoman plans to upset the world by taking away the voices of two musicians who are the hope of the future LOL. Difference is that was a f*cking comedy.
RTD wasn't even trying in the slightest with these. He had an absolute cheek putting his name on them as though they were an accomplishment.
Honestly the entire thing just makes me irredeemably bitter. I think of all the great writers and actors who never got anywhere or whose careers were f*cked over and this no talent, self indulgent wanker gets to spew that shit all over the tv and get paid millions from it? JNT was practically sent to an early grave thinking he'd killed the show despite producing the likes of Fenric and Remembrance for stories that weren't a tenth as atrocious as this. Seriously even the Twin Dilemma isn't as embarrassing as this shit. Gina Carano is a gorgeous, talented, charismatic, pioneer for women who stars in kickass, gritty, action thrillers yet she gets laughed at as a joke and a loser whilst the clown who wrote this is hailed as a genius? Even people I don't like that much. Why are the makers of Morbius constantly slated as jokes and laughing stocks, but not this? I feel like Frank Grimes!
And hey you f*cking panel show c*nts who made out DW was a joke in the 90s and 00s, did everything you could to try and tarnish its legacy for being so silly, where the f*ck are you c*nts? "Ohhh Martin Clunes wore a silly shirt and looked a bit fey, let's mock that story forever. What's this Ncuti Gatwa prances around calling everyone babes like a cringe inducing stereotype and we have space ships powered by farts, 10 minutes of an actual panto dame attacking the Doctor with music notes and stuffing him in a drum and the friendship of Paul and John saving the world, followed by a Glee style music number?
All you f*cking little c*nts who ran DWM or DWB who attacked the show for becoming too panto in the 80s and 90s where the f*ck are you bastards now? Probably giving this abomination 10/10 scoring whilst still writing a review about how it became embarrassing to be a DW fan in the 90s because the 80s years were too camp.
I will never watch another Ncuti episode and I mean it, only because it just makes me bitter and resentful and angry at the stupidity and sheepishness of people, that 80s Who could be considered a joke whilst something like this gets the backing of a big company. f*ck it all. I need to take a shower after watching that shit.

This seems like golden age TV in comparison now. God, I miss Capaldi.

I mean, it was embarrassing rubbish even then, but it wasn't "worst TV show ever" tier like it is now.

This seems like golden age TV in comparison now. God, I miss Capaldi No actor of this calibre will ever touch NuWho again - which is good because the show never deserved him, treated him like dirt, dropped him like a stone and tried to blame him for the public reaction to the appalling material he was forced to contend with. In fact, I rescind any previous suggestion that Whittaker and Gatwa were miscast. These amateur hour hacks are exactly what this puerile, dim-witted, degenerate trash deserves. |

A reminder that Moffat could've done Capaldi's whole era like this, but just... didn't?
Also a reminder that NuWho was actually capable of producing this once

I'm currently at the "having full blown arguments with myself" stage. |

If Space Babies drops from a 6.2 to a 6.1 on IMDB it will officially become the worst rated episode written by RTD on the site. He's out done himself  |

It's not just more embarrassing in terms of its writing, just overall. If you were to show these to someone as the first episodes of DW, they would think you were a moron for liking it. Warriors is dreadful, B-movie sci fi, but that's better than something that doesn't even try like this and insults its viewers intelligence with farts and snot. |
