If I had to pick a word to characterise the opening episodes of this season, it would be bland. The pre-season build-up promised an epic, cinematic season, but despite the visuals often looking excellent, and the locations swish, the stories are at their core ordinary. A Town Called Mercy is a perfect example of style over substance, and things don't really pick up until the Of-the-Doctor trilogy which closes the season out. This is the season that was inexplicably spit into two parts, and along with season ten, is what Doctor Who looks like when the showrunner's phoning it in. Chronotisnoreply@blogger.com
