Doctor Who fans it's been a very freaking long time since I last talked about Doctor Who and well with the new series starting up just is halloween you just know I had to talk about this new episode of Doctor Who. I will very freely freaking admit that the idea of season long story arc is one that has got me interested in this show and I hope to freaking god this show sticks the lading with this storyline because my god was episode so freaking good and so here is my SPOILER FILLED!!!!!!!!!! review of the first episode of Doctor Who: Flux with the episode in question being called simply "Chapter One: The Halloween Apocalypse" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is The Doctor and Yaz are tracking a human being named Dan who has been kidnapped from his home but then they discover that something that's far more sinister is coming to earth. Now in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this episode in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this episode was really freaking good which was something that I was in all honesty surprised to be the case since most of the plots so far at least in the Jodie Whittaker era of doctor Who haven't been that good in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor , Mandip Gill as Yasmin Khan and John Bishop as Dan Lewis. Also starring in this episode is Craige Els as Karvanista , Steve Oram as Joseph Williamson , Nadia Albina as Diane , Sam Spruell as Swarm , Rochenda Sandall as Azure / Anna , Jacob Anderson as Inston-Vee Vinder , Annabel Scholey as Claire , Jonathan Watson as Ritskaw and Dan Starkey as Kragar.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really freaking good. Which shouldn't really come as a surprise to absolutely anybody since the acting in the Jodie Whittaker era of Doctor has always been really freaking good and so it only makes alot of sense at least to me personally that this episode would carry on that tradition of having really acting in it's very episodes in my opinion anyways / at least.
SPOILERS START HERE SWEETIES!!!!!!!!!!
Doing the CGI effects for this episode are I think Any Effects , Double Negative , Millennium FX and The Mill. Now then in terms o what I personally thought about the CGI effects that are featured / presented to us in this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty personally / feel that the CGI effects that are featured / presented to us in this very were for the most part really freaking good with perhaps the only bad effect being Swarm absorbs a soldiers life force into himself which just looked like a very freaking early Playstation 3 video game cutscene but hey one bad effect in an entire episode isn't that freaking bad in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this episode does give us the introduction of the newest Doctor Who companion to the Doctor Dan Lewis and I have to say that based of off this one episode John Bishop does seem to be quite wooden as the character which is to be expected since this is his debut episode as the Dan Lewis. However you only get one chance to make a good first impression and well he's left a very freaking first impression on me personally in my opinions anyways / at least.
Which is a shame because even tho the acting for the Dan Lewis character isn't that good the writing for the Dan Lewis character is really freaking good. This is since we get to find out alot more about Dan in this episode then we got to find out about Yaz in her first two series and that right there makes it alot easier for us the audience to connect to the character because we know alot more about him and that is a sign of some very good freaking writing in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this episode marks the first time since I believe season 23 all the back in 1986 that we got one whole story being told over an entire series / season of Doctor Who. Which i'm glad to see this longer form of storytelling returning to Doctor Who since it makes the whole series seem much more bigger and much more epic then what it might already be and plus it allows for some really freaking inventive / tight storytelling in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then this particular / very / exact episode has / had a grand total running time of exactly forty nine minuets and fifty seconds and well in all honesty i in all honesty think / feel that this episode could or perhaps even should have been a lot shorter. Since plot wise there's not enough plot in this actual episode to warrant that freaking long of a freaking running time in my freaking opinions anyways /at least.
Now then since there is some actual action in this episode that means that I have to talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in all honesty I in all honesty think / feel that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was really freaking good. Heck the entire action packed third act of this episode was so well done that it's actually made me excited for next weeks episode even if the teaser trailer for next weeks episode ruined the cliffhanger of this episode tho in my opinions anyways / at least.
SPOILERS END HERE SWEETIES!!!!!!!!!!
Overall it really does freaking feel / feels really freaking good to be reviewing an actually good episode from the Jodie Whittaker era of Doctor Who since yeah I really did like this episode and I hope that the rest of this series can match up to the freaking high quality and high bar set by this particular / very / exact episode since yeah this episode is that freaking good in my opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very episode in this very review and as such that / this means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page , IMP Awards .
