Because of the spiders episode <shivers> I accidentally waited two weeks, and got to see TWO episodes back to back! This one was my favorite of the two, though "Tsurunga Conundrum" was fun, too.
That’s not what it meant? Is there some Alt Right, Men’s Whine—er Men’s Right meaning?
Yup, right wingers now call most left leaning people "NPC" 's for the scripted ragdolls in games.
You know, the ones where you spend two hours playing the same escort mission screaming at them because they won't goddamn behave.
I consider this one to be the best written and most interesting of the Whitaker episodes. It was a decent story, and I found it interesting to delve into family history of one of the companions.
Whitaker is no Tenant or Smith, so her speeches of things like "these people are under my protection," don't really have any kind of oomph behind them, but this episode was quite enjoyable.

Someone who CLAIMS a 200 plus IQ....
You'd think someone who actually had a 200 plus IQ would not only be secure enough in their own intelligence to never mention it, but have far more important things to do than cry about how there aren't enough white men in media.
Capaldi announced his departure eleven months before his finale aired, and it had been public knowledge at the time that his contract was coming to an end, and that he'd be unlikely to renew. Not exactly my definition of "abrupt."
Are you sure you weren't predisposed to not like her?I wasn't a massive Capaldi fan but it's like each new Doctor makes you appreciate the previous one more. Maybe I will like Jodi when the one after her rocks up or she could just establish a presence
I mean, just give her a chance. It's a TV show meant to entertain. Maybe you just need to get used to it.
Maybe. It always takes me forever to like someone new and I resist changeAre you sure you weren't predisposed to not like her?

If you can send off an invasion with a Lee Enfield 303, I'm not sure why UNIT has been so halfassed over the decades.
Really enjoyed this episode, I was ready to roll my eyes at another hidden alien menace but they twisted it beautifully, and gave us something unique. A controversial setting that wasn't used to preach or make sanctimonious points, but simply as a poignant historical backdrop and as part of a story that is played out again and again for humans - the disruption of lives by 'big' changes they neither wanted nor could avoid.
I'm not quite convinced the timeline adds up for Yas' grandmother to have been married in '47, unless both she and Yas' mother had kids very late, but that's a very minor point in an otherwise excellent episode.
This season's first 10.

There you go again, dragging facts into the discussion.
I hadn't thought about that but it does work if you squint at it just right.
I'm the same though more for the show runners. Get rid of this Davies bloke I said, give me the clever writings of Moffat I said. Get rid of the pompous over wrought Moffat I said, he thinks he's much smarter than he actually is, God I miss the silly fun of Davies.I wasn't a massive Capaldi fan but it's like each new Doctor makes you appreciate the previous one more.

TBF so far Chris needs to not hog the first half of the season and practice his drama, tension and sci-fi a little more, his character work is fine.
Keep in mind her husband died then she had to get to Britain and reestablish herself and find a husband. That would take the best part of 10 years.
Yaz may be short for Yasmine, but is this another instance of a character, being named after their own selves?
Huh?
ETA: Ah, you mean did Yasmine's mother name her after the woman who her own mother met before coming to Great Britain. I dunno. Did Yaz's mom know her mother's history?
