Well, here we are at long last...a new season of Doctor Who on
the TV.
My first impressions of "The Robot Revolution" were quite good
all things considering. I found it an interesting episode that
certainly isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. We are
all different so it's fair enough if some people didn't like it,
but for me it wasn't that bad at all. In fact, I thought it was
a fun romp. "The Robot Revolution" won't go down as a great
Doctor Who episode mind you, but it had its good moments.
I've always said that Ncuti Gatwa makes a good 15th Doctor and
despite some dodgy dialogue I thought he put in a good
performance in this episode. The new companion Belinda came
across very well too, she certainly wasn't in awe of the Doctor
like some companions have been... in fact, she was quite a no
nonsense type of girl. "I am not one of your adventures" being
one of my favourite quotes from this episode. ("Am I Six?" when
the Doctor said "Timey-Wimey" being another.) With the right
material the 15th Doctor and Belinda could become a really good
team... if short lived.
The complaint around a lot of modern Doctor Who episodes being
rushed could be repeated here too as the pace of this episode
was very quick and I assume some stuff was left in the editing
room... stuff with a bit more explanation to some things
especially! Belinda's question "Is this your TARDIS" stood out
too, so either the Doctor telling her about the TARDIS was cut
or there are bigger things at play with Belinda and it's all
part of her arc.
Mrs Flood's brief appearance at the start and her 'fourth wall'
breaking comment is clearly foreshadowing something big later on
too.. as her comment was meaningless in regards to this episode.
I'm still in the 'she is the Rani' camp. (Rani is an anagram of
rain - too much rain and you get a flood... Seems simple enough,
right? But as we know RTD likes his misdirections and
double-bluffs!)
So, not a bad start to this new season and a definite
improvement on last year's opener...
Overall I'd give "The Robot Revolution" a 6/10 rating.

It was an example of lazy writing used by a woke pervert in order to
create a false woke narrative attacking men and masculinity in order to
make society childish and effeminate so that he can prey on children.
Where were the strong positive male role models to follow? Every >representation of a man was childish and negative.
I've always said that Ncuti Gatwa makes a good 15th Doctor and
No he doesn't. The cross dressing pervert that wants to entice
vulnerable children by wearing women's clothing can't even consistently
say his lines in the same accent. It keeps changing every other line.

No they wouldn't. She's a man hating Mary Sue that learned absolutely

The problem isn't the editing. The problem is the lazy and sloppy writing.
All that the pervert RTD cares about is how to insert his hypocritical,
sick, degenerate woke message. He even said that himself. He doesn't
care about good writing. He thinks it's good only if it contains the
message.

people in the future look like her as if she regenerated back into an

Except for that fact that he's right.
She's a brainwashed misandrist of very low intelligence.
Someone with intelligence would not have accepted a proposal
to get engaged or even taken part in a relationship with a man

Mrs Flood could be Susan then. <shrugs>

And? My guess is as good as yours. RTD likes to misdirect as we
have already seen.
Plus, we won't have to wade through your rants about an Indian

Agreed. It was bonkers of course but very entertainingly so. One
big plus point was that it didn't end with a speech by the Doctor
preaching to the audience, as has happened far too often in recent
seasons. A good story should result in the moral - if any - being
apparent to the viewer rather than needing to shove it down their
throat.

performance in this episode. The new companion Belinda came
across very well too, she certainly wasn't in awe of the
Doctor like some companions have been...
Yes!
in fact, she was quite a no nonsense type of girl. "I am not
one of your adventures" being one of my favourite quotes
from this episode.
Yes!
("Am I Six?" when the Doctor said "Timey-Wimey" being
another.) With the right material the 15th Doctor and
Belinda could become a really good team... if short lived.
And, the Doctor and the Nurse. Sounds good to me.
The complaint around a lot of modern Doctor Who episodes
being rushed could be repeated here too as the pace of this
episode was very quick and I assume some stuff was left in
the editing room... stuff with a bit more explanation to
some things especially!
Hah. The whole time fracture thing, and how it was resolved...
What!?
Oh, never mind, it's fun. :)
Belinda's question "Is this your TARDIS" stood out too, so
either the Doctor telling her about the TARDIS was cut or
there are bigger things at play with Belinda and it's all
part of her arc.
I was just thinking he must have told her off-screen.
Mrs Flood's brief appearance at the start and her 'fourth
wall' breaking comment is clearly foreshadowing something
big later on too.. as her comment was meaningless in regards
to this episode.
Yeah. Back to who's Mrs Flood theories.
I'm still in the 'she is the Rani' camp. (Rani is an anagram
of rain - too much rain and you get a flood... Seems simple
enough, right? But as we know RTD likes his misdirections and double-bluffs!)
Hm, could be the Rani, but the bit with rain doesn't ring true.
So, not a bad start to this new season and a definite
improvement on last year's opener...
What, Space Babies? I like Space Babies!
Overall I'd give "The Robot Revolution" a 6/10 rating.
Oh, at least 8/10 from me, let's see how the rest goes before
I make up my mind for good.

I agree again. I was impressed by the actress's performance.
She came across as a man hating bigot.
If so, then she was written that way... possibly for a reason?
You do think she is The Rani after all...

4.8/10 seems fair enough... it puts the episode in the average
category, which it probably is.

That kind of name-based wordplay is more Moffat’s style than
RTD’s. (e.g. Susan Triad’s name was a red herring, Harold
Saxon wasn’t the Meddling Monk, and there wasn’t a villain
called Will Knockfourtimes.)
Besides, Mrs Flood just doesn’t seem like a single-minded,
amoral scientist. What’s the point of bringing an
unrecognisable Rani back in name only? RTD’s already done that
with Sutekh!

I am now leaning (or over-thinking) towards Rani -> Rain = flood
being too on the nose, even for RTD... the same with Belinda ->
Queen = Rani... we are just falling in to RTD's trap of mischief
making by thinking along those lines. It's just as likely she
could be Susan or a.n.other random character from the past...

After the Time War, the Ninth Doctor is convinced that he is
the only surviving Time Lord... so when you translate that to
Yaddish... The Time Lord survivor!
