I don't think we'll see Jack again, he likes to leave things dangling, if he was caught by one of the Dregs, they'd rip it off, tear it to shreds. He's not the only one to close, as Graham and Ryan choose new furrows, leaving Yaz and the Doctor to play with themselves, although Bishop Twankey might become one of the elves. Another Dalek episode, opposing factions duel their banjos, a bit of fun but little more, they need to open brand new doors!!!
Doctor Who is stuck with God awful writers right now. Trying way too hard for emotions to be fealt between characters coming and going. Filming a boring quick scene with sad music is not how you do it.
The entire episode focused way too much on the wrong things and ramming too many stupid emotional elements in that its just lost it's way. It's Doctor Who, not Days of Our Lives.
Right now the Doctors writers are that of Star Wars 7, 8, 9... Get rid of them and find it's Mandolorian writers so all hope is not completely lost for the future of Doctor Who.

Sigh. Still not much of an improvement over any of the Doctor Who episodes of recent years. I'm starting to lose hope that it'll improve. Very simplistic writing, like it's just for kids. And they couldn't make it to the end without adding some unnecessary schmaltz.
Oh, and that sound mix - what's the point in giving the Daleks dialogue that's unintelligible and can't be heard over other effects? Unimpressed, which is sad because Doctor Who used to be worth watching.

It's been a long time since The Doctor last graced our screens, question is, was it worth the wait?
I love the show, and will watch whatever, but in truth it's not been great in recent years. Revolution is a solid enough episode, it's slow to start, but does have some excitement later on.
It felt similar to Resolution at times, some of the ideas were influenced by that and past stories. It was quite a bloodthirsty episode.
Jodie, she was better when John Barrowman was present, he seemed to elevate her performance, unfortunately when she got with the fam, it all went a little flat.
I liked the new Dalek design, pretty good, hopefully not a replacement, but was a nice addition.
That ending scene was awful, poor Ryan.
Rumoured for being Jodie's final season next, I wonder if there will be a third Dalek installment?
It was ok. 6/10.

The lowest point of doctor who... This show is a joke, these actors/writers/directors have learnt NOTHING from the mistakes they have made for 2 whole seasons now. How can they not just write a half-decent episode? One of the biggest problems of the show right now is Jodie Whitaker... She has NO chemistry with any of the characters, including Captain Jack, who has had great chemistry with all previous doctors. I am concerned that they are harming his character, I really hope he gets out of this show quickly. None of the actors in this TV show don't seem like they want to be here, they seem like actors, not characters. The only thing these actors are good at doing is being really depressed, blindly following the doctor and generally being useless. There are so many other problems with this show. Graham/Ryan/Yas once again doing nothing throughout the entire episode. Horrible unlikeable side characters. Rehash of old plots. Terrible script writing. Awful special effects. Horrible music (please bring back Murray Gold, although I doubt he want's to be associated with this show anymore). And most importantly, Chris Chibnall - once this guy is gone, doctor who will be one small step in the right direction from this awful direction it is currently going in.
Regarding this episode... there were so many missed opportunities, pointless dialogue, ridiculous use of daleks (You're really using them to spray civilians with water? What's stopping them from just kicking the dalek over? How on earth is this making the country more secure? Why use daleks?) Also, the doctor just left a massive dalek farming factory in the middle of England??!?!? Also, why were there some random daleks inside the Tardis's wormhole vortex thing? Also, why are all the companions so whiny and depressed when the doctor goes away for a bit? Like come on get a grip of yourself, do something different with your life, surely your whole life doesn't revolve around tagging along with the doctor?
This show has declined in quality so much... It's so sad to reflect back on earlier seasons when this show was so good.
