Please Note: These are entirely personal rankings, coming from a general opinion that this season COULD, and SHOULD have been better, but wasn't dreadful. Jodie Whittaker needs better writing
1 - It Takes You Away - because it felt like "proper" Doctor Who. Included some interesting new (?) ideas.
2 - The Ghost Monument - see Number 1. Decent Sci-Fi without needing an overshadowing Big Bad responsible for EVERYTHING.
3 - Rosa - because it took a BIG chance, and worked. People WERE actually like this in the pretty recent past!
4 - The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos - see Number 1. Ooooh look - the Earth is in general SERIOUS peril!
5 - The Woman Who Fell To Earth - Season opener, with a lot to do, and let those things happen in pleasing enough fashion.
6 - Demons Of The Punjab - It did something unexpected with its aliens, and in all honesty wasn't preachy.
7 - Arachnids In The UK - because it missed opportunities to hark back to The Green Death, and Planet Of The Spiders. Good FX, but not spectacular script.
8 - The Witchfinders - because the aliens kinda parachuted in from nowhere, coming across as almost an afterthought to fill out the run-time. Rather unsatisifying "and that's that" ending. Allan Cumming waas fun.
9 - The Tsuranga Conundrum - because it was basically an Alien rip-off. I actually liked the pregnant male ALIEN.
10 - Kerblam! - because it was SO BLAND. More "Uncanny Valley" androids, felt like season padding...
And finally: PoliticalCorrectness.exe NOT FOUND.
