Because voter suppression and gerrymandering are still a thing in the USA

Gerrymandering may give an advantage to Republicans when they make a lot of 55% Republican districts and a few 90% Democratic districts, but I don’t see how it allows candidates to win Republican primaries in almost every Republican district with the support of only 34% of Republicans.
And that’s why he was super friendly with the space pope way back when…
Like I said, the show *always* stops just short of having the Doctor make even intimations that way. Here he is angry at blind faith, but quite fond of all the other kinds on display — even if he doesn’t share them.
The Doctors faith is often in people (see The Curse Of Fenric with the volume up…) but the show and the character never really cross the line into full on frothing Dawkins atheism for the most part. It also never criticises faith groups directly.
Certainly makes *not* using the opportunity to do something a little clever, and give us a ‘future’ based companion, seem… a missed opportunity.
Mind you, not sure I would trust RTD to have any nuance about an Indian Woman from the Future who is a Soldier and an Anglican.
Yup. Just a bit rushed. Wonky characterisation for the Doctor and a very quick ‘and then they sodded off and left the survivors to it’ which seems all the more hollow these days, and with these emotional stakes.
Doctor Who is made in Britain so America's position on gay rights is irrelevant.
Where did you hear that because in the InVision commentary RTD explicitly says that it was episode 2.
Moff: "You've redecorated."
RTD: "Do you like it?"
Moff: "No."

Moff: "No."
This another 9 for me.
It gave us a bit more seriousness from the Doctor and Ruby, which was kinda nice after being so goofy for so much of the last couple episode. Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson did a great job in it too.
It definitely had an interesting take on a future war controlled by a corporation, and how that kind of thing can go very wrong.
Was this filmed on a Volume or was the background just CGI?

Yet another "Twist", and not even at the end
A surprisingly moving episode, despite the quick resolution. I wonder if we'll eventually see the Doctor's son or daughter, what with the father references. Even Susan herself would be very welcome, twist or not.

It has to contain RTD's lumbering height and towering ego.
Gives the actors something to interact with while filming and makes for less work in post-production as they're augmenting the background that's already there rather than creating one from scratch,
The volume lets the actors interact with an actual background rather than nothing with a green screen
The volume also allows movies to change the day and time as they see fit.
In addition to what others have said, it allows realistic lighting. As they project the actual environment on the actors, it lights them more realistically than trying to recreate the environments lighting with various artificial techniques
Primaries bring out the wingnuts.
It’s all over the shop. Maybe confusion over ‘episode 1’ referring to either space babies or church on ruby road.
