Doctor Who

That was a fantastic episode. It spares no punches on the military industrial complex, healthcare, acting purely on belief, and ai, all of which are incredibly timely topics. It's an episode rooted in concept science fiction and yet this one felt realistic which only adds to the horror.

I would contest that it would be so easy to take over an entire organisations AI, but then again even here and now it seems any company that taints itself with ai tends to put good practice to the wayside,so maybe it's not quite deus ex.

Not loving the gory bits though, doctor basically kissed a mutilated dead body at the end there...

I thought I was going to like it a lot, and it surpassed my expectations.

It's a Moffat episode, through and through - I didn't expect him to bring back the Anglican Marines, but I guess that's a favourite idea of his. On top of that, we have pointed critiques of the military-industrial complex, algorithmic decision-making, and capitalism as a whole. All as subtle as a sledgehammer, just the way I like it.

This one was a really great showcase for Ncuti, allowing him to go places he hasn't had to in the previous episodes.

Susan Twist has appeared in every episode since "Wild Blue Yonder," but this is the first time the Doctor has come face-to-face with her, so it's good to see some movement on that front.

What was the deal with the Doctor losing his keys at the end? Could it have something to do with the fact that Varada Sethu has already been announced as a companion for season two?
