Someone help me out!

Star Beast had more action then intrigue.

WBY loks more Midnightish than interesting.

How come Star Beast ranges a 7 on IMDB yet WBY ranges an 8 ?

Am I missing something?

Yes. Each of them is rated nine points too high!

The Star Beast was familiar RTD territory - other than the need to resolve
the Doctor-Donna problem, it was an absolutely typical RTD fluff special
episode. Fun but not deep. It just won bonus points by comparison with most
of the past few years.

Wild Blue Yonder was /different/. Not brilliant and not given enough plot
to fill its hour - but it was science fiction. When was tha last time
Doctor Who had an episode built around a single, genuinely SF concept?
Aggie should have been applauding from the sidelines, but sadly his
fascistic obsession with race and colour over a marginal cameo led him off
into an insane rant of “woke degeneracy”.

Personally I didn’t think Wild Blue Yonder was better entertainment overall
than The Star Beast, but that final delightful swan song for Bernard
Cribbins was pure gold and worth 2 points on its own.

So 9/10 for me twice in a row. I don’t expect brilliance from Doctor Who so
I’m happy for it to be fun and coherent - factors that were somewhat
lacking in the Whittaker era.

Capaldi’s run managed it in Series 10 but 8 and 9 largely lacked coherence.
Almost nothing in the modern show, of course, has been as incoherent or
joyless as Sylvester McCoy’s TV tenure.

Now I’m off to listen to “Audacity” so that I’m ready for the 8th Doctor’s
new Christmas audio box set “In the Bleak Midwinter” which was released
today.

Because the scores have been rigged.

On Rotten Tomatoes the specials have only got 42% from the audience.

So claims Squealer the epitome of the Nazi chief propagandist Joseph
Goebbels.

You and the fascistic Nazi woke far-left are the ones obsessed with race.

Isaac Newton was not an Indian nor did he have any Indian ancestry.

You and others that believe your degenerate woke lies are complete
retards like the people who believed in the visibility of the Emperor's
New Clothes.

Don't insult my or anyone else's intelligence by taunting me to believe
the woke lie that Isaac Newton was of Indian decent.

You must be joking. Capaldi's ratings went down toilet from Series 9
onwards because of the hypocritical woke degeneracy they were filled with.

That is an insult. Jodie Whittaker's entire run was worse than anything
in the Sylvester McCoy era due to her non-existent acting ability and
complete miscasting.

In the Bleak Midwinter is where Doctor Who is now. It died on Christmas
Day 2017. The Timeless Child monster has destroyed everything. Whittaker
could be endured. The Timeless Child monster can't. The Doctor is not
Doomsday from DC Comics.
