Pure woke degeneracy is the best that can be said for this episode, written by a mentally sick, sexist and racist bigot and a talentless diversity hire.
It is abundantly clear that Russell T Davies is a pervert from the opening scene when he has Gatwa say, "and your mum can whistle up my behind" to Belinda. This disgusting individual is totally obsessed with homosexuality, Gatwa's arse, and peddling his perversions to children. -4 marks.
It is also clear from the dialogue that the racist bigot Russell T Davies wrote Belinda as white British (since when was Belinda an Indian name?) and knows nothing whatsoever about Indian culture by portraying Belinda's father drinking at the pub and bursting into song. Of course, none of these songs would be from Bollywood musicals, but from white British working class culture, since that is how the racist bigot writes all of his characters. -1 mark.
Throughout the story the sex obsessed perverted writer proceeds to have Gatwa make disgusting gay sexual innuendos towards every man and woman he meets by calling them "babes". Does this vile degenerate not understand how to set a proper example of behaviour towards others? This is how the woke think. They pretend that their message is one against toxic behaviour but instead everything they say or have their characters say is completely toxic itself. -4 marks.
So, the pervert Gatwa gets dressed in tight leathers to the sound of Toxic by Britney Spears, and, along with his white British companion Belinda who is played by Indian actress Varada Sethu, steps out of the TARDIS onto the deck of a space ship in order to take readings to get back to Earth which they still can't do. -1 mark.
Russell T Davies and the talentless DEI hire then proceed to mock the opening of Starship Troopers, by Robert E Heinlein, by showing a bunch of morons-in-space, led by a woman, pretending to be soldiers, jump out out of the spaceship down to the surface of an alien world without parachutes. -1 mark for the pathetic morons-in-space.
Why are Gatwa and Belinda surprised at the situation they are in being forced to jump out of a space ship, when inside the TARDIS they put on the same space tight leather space suits that the morons-in-space are wearing, so they must have known what they were letting themselves in for? -1 mark.
The morons-in-space pretending to be soldiers have no rank insignias but are led be a woman, because the disgusting bigot Russell T Davies is an incel who hates men because they don't want to sleep with him and wants to vent out all of his sexual frustration against them by portraying them as week and inferior to women. In this pervert's woke mindset only women can be shown in positions of power and authority and men must be systematically demeaned and humiliated. -4 marks for lack of rank insignia and putting women in command in a mixed military unit where the physically weaker women would slow everyone down and get them all killed when posed with any kind of threat or danger.
The pervert Davies has Gatwa outrank the woman in charge by showing her a piece of psychic paper. -1 mark. This illustrates that the soldiers are all morons and that RTD thinks that the audience are also totally moronic in order to fall for it.
The retarded writers don't understand how the military works and obviously know no one that does, so why are they even writing about it? Why are they portraying soldiers that don't talk like soldiers but instead have them talking like women meeting at the supermarket?
When a male soldier challenges Gatwa's authority Gatwa makes perverted homosexual innuendos towards him by repeatedly calling him and other characters "babes". This is a completely inappropriate example to set to children. -1 more mark.
Dead bodies are strewn all over the place which is some sort of carbon mine. Either all their bones have been broken or they have been shot.
Only one survivor is found, who is a deaf woman. The audience is then lectured to in sign language, and the soldiers all have holographic devices so that everything they say appears to her as projected subtitles. Why does she constantly need these prompts when she tells them that she can lip read? This woke virtue signalling bigotry all detracts from the story and makes it drag on unnecessarily. -10 marks.
Instead of portraying a society 500,000 years in the future where all deafness is cured, there has been absolutely no progress at all and everyone is required by law to learn sign language, even civilian nurses like Belinda. What happened to cochlea implants?
This is the face of woke degeneracy. The disgusting woke retards can't imagine or understand futuristic societies and cultures. They only understand present day society, barely, and want to make everything about the present and themselves and their own vile perverted culture.
So, there's something behind the deaf woman, she tells them, but no one can see it. This is what is supposed to have killed everyone on the mining base except her because if it killed her it would have no one to hide behind.
How the hell can a deaf woman sense something invisible hiding behind her when she's deaf and she can't even hear it's whispers or see it? Imbecilic writing. -1 mark.
Gatwa tries to find out what this creature is and it whispers his name to him. The disgusting, sick, degenerate, effeminate, pervert then begins to cry like the little baby girl he is written as. -10 marks.
How does it know his name? Is it River Song?
Hum, maybe maybe not. Could it be Gatwa himself?
We are told that the entire planet is flooded with Galvanic Radiation which no one can survive. If that's the case then why are they surviving it even with their helmets off? Gawta can't even wait to take everything off. -1 mark.
We are then told that this is a diamond mine because the Carbon 46 the place is mining is diamond. Who the hell in the audience is supposed to know that? It's a term that Davies himself made up in order to subvert the narrative. There's nothing about such a thing on Google, only Carbon 47 which is carbon fibre. -1 mark.
Gatwa then get's the female commander to tell him the planet's name because he thinks he's been there before. It's the planet known 500,000 years ago as Midnight. Except that Earth doesn't exist at all in this future and no one has ever heard of it. If that's true why should anyone know about Midnight? Wasn't it supposed to be a human colony? But the morons-in-space are not human but some other species.
All the mirrors have been broken or destroyed so Gatwa decides to use mirrors against the alien creature that is hiding behind the deaf woman in order to drive it out, because he thinks it must be afraid of it's own reflection, by zapping two vats of mercury conviviality situated either side of it with his sonic screwdriver so it can see it's own reflection. Lazy writing -1 mark.
It's invisible, so how can it see it's own reflection when no one else can? -1 mark.
One of the male morons-in-space pretending to be soldiers goes berserk trying to kill the creature and the woman commander murders him.
They all run. Apparently the creature has another creature just like itself hiding behind it too. Why? Because it always has to hide behind someone?
It decides to hide behind Belinda.
The woman commanding the morons-in-space decides to shoot her above the heart in order to get the creature to jump away from behind her thinking she's dead.
It jumps back behind the deaf woman again.
In order to save the deaf woman and everyone else the female commander decides to make the creature hide behind her by jumping behind the deaf woman and then runs in the opposite direction and jumps down the huge well that is present in the mine, because it's her duty.
Why didn't she just leave the deaf woman sitting in her chair with the monster behind her from the very start and send everyone back to the ship immediately, then she could have saved everyone without getting half of the people in her squad killed? Why do they put stupid people like this in command positions in shows written by morons? -1 mark for more lazy writing.
How did they get back to the space ship anyway since they jumped out of it instead of going down in a smaller ship? Not shown and not explained? -2 marks.
Belinda is resuscitated and her wound is stitched up, with her and Gatwa returning to the TARDIS and dematerialising.
The morons-in-space start to forget what just happened and Mrs Flood's face shows up on a screen in the space ship talking to the crew about the measuring device Gatwa had with him.
Total score 10 - 46 = -36 out of 10
-36/10
