    I'm just waiting for the episode that has them visit a flooded Earth (or similar planet) due to global warming, as they've ticked off just about every other left-wing and environmental issue in the current series.
    And the short 2 minute tease of Captain Jack, who is apparently not to returning this season (according to Whovians)... so why have him at all? The message he gave them could have come been from any other source along the way, which would have felt more natural, as that scene felt really disjointed and out of place. I was really looking forward to seeing more of him in that episode and upcoming episodes, but he just seems to have been thrown in to bump up the percentage of minority demographics in this series, which if forced into the flow of a story, will only hurt the reason for including it for making it too obvious.

    Chibnall's first season - There will be no season long arc!
    Fans - BOOOOOOO! This season was terrible!
    Chibnall's second season - Oh you want a season long arc? How about I bring back Captain Jack and introduce a brand new Doctor, none of which I'll explain until a season or two from now!

    That one lone voice: I actually didn't mind season 1

    The Timeless Child was mentioned in the 2nd episode of last season though, so they must have had some sort of arc planned.

    Hopefully it will be explained in the last episode. I think it could be a carry over ibto next season

    Well what do we think of the last episode? Blows the mythos out of the water.

    Didn’t think it really did that much. I expected more, this is all a concept that can be explored or ignored.

    There’s other things that bothered me more about the episode but issues that have been recurring since Bad Wolf.

    I was only half-listening to the news this morning and thought Australia's chef de mission was called Ian Chesterton.

    It's Ian Chesterman.
