    I mean, the amazon episode was pretty dumb, but the rest of Chibnall’s episodes were pretty good imo. “Partition of India” and “It takes you away” were pretty memorable episodes among many other good ones and I also really liked “Flux” and the idea of the timeless child finally brought something new to the table. Chibnall managed to overcome Moffat’s unnecessary labyrinths of plots as well as his misogyny while not abandoning big ideas in general.

    I would’ve liked to have him continue running the show, especially after the last special by Davies, which I didn’t find that convincing.

      didn’t she like explicitly out a black character as black to the nazis for “lol, pwned” points? (for context for outsiders, this series has space magic at random as it suits the plot)
      and also murder various sentient species for no reason?

        Like you said, it’s space magic and it was the master, who was working for the Nazis at that pont, so he probably just teleported away after getting captured. Also it wasn’t just for laughs but the Doctors only out, as I remember it.

          you know that’s way more fucked than 90% of doctors have done before though right?

          i’m not a who scholar or anything, but i have watched a fair few episodes of the “tinfoil and gaffa tape” era and i’m very sure they never did something quite so heinous as out a black character to the nazis (literal, actual, ww2 era)

              still extremely fucked though

              like if i was menaced by (for example) someone of Jewish heritage during the 1930-45 era of continental europe, i would not, in good conscience, out them as “untermenshcen” to the literal fucking nazis

              that would make me a fucking subhuman fascist

              you see the problem of the “hero” of the story doing this, right??

          i’m not “woobifying” the master, but there is something exclusively fucked up about outing someone who would be explicitly sent to a death camp to the fucking nazis

          it goes from “oooh, it’s some space magic sci-fi bullshit” into “they are the literal, actual, fucking nazis, that existed and exterminated people they considered insufficiently white”

          you see the difference, right?
