Doctor Who Review - The Tsuranga Conundrum


Lets Get Real:

This was another great Doctor Who episode, there was a lot of running, the enemy was rather a cute creature who eat everything for food, not people.   The Doctor was challenged at the start of the story for being selfish, ( Good to see the writers challenge the Doctor, did one sense sexual friction between the doomed nurse and the Doctor ).   The companions were given good material, Graham and his step grandson had a few buddy moments with a ( spoiler ) man.  When the Doctor asked one of the companions for a number between 0 and 100, the answer was 51, not good, it was the limit for a bomb.  The new cast and characters work well together, the Doctor does not need to be in every scene, in the past the Doctors had to do most of the heavy work.   At the end the Doctor and a General had to save the day, the Doctor showed her ego when it was mentioned she had a few chapters on heros, she came back and said it was a volume.     Thus excellent show by the regular cast and guest stars, who were given meaty roles.  The one down side is the news that there will be no Christmas special, this Whovian not happy!!
