This one annoyed me. In the middle it made me feel very angry and slightly sick. But then it turned out to be a big trick, we hadn't seen what we thought we saw, which since it calls itself a heist is basically doing what it says on the tin. There's always a trick. Except the first set of feelings were no fun at all, and then I felt stupid for having felt that. So why was that supposed to be fun to watch?
It was watching them kill black people that made me very angry, and when it seemed like people were killing themselves because they felt guilty and alone and like no one who would care that made me feel sick. And one of the black people stayed destroyed, so I'm still angry, because that always happens to black men. And I don't know why they thought making it look like people were killing themselves was appropriate family viewing. Even if they were going to undo it with a trick.
So my reaction to this one is a right muddle because of the way it turned around and expected viewers to dump the first set of feelings.
Which isn't fun.

I have to say, I'm not sure what to make of this season as a whole. It feels tonally and thematically all over the place. Is it the Doctor trying to figure out if he's a good man? Is it about the "heaven" we've seen in a couple of episodes? Is it about the Doctor engaging with his past? There seems to be less "fun" overall this season, which is a shame. |
