Doctor Who First Impressions: New Year's Day 2021 Special (Revolution Of The Daleks)

ADAB
Hello there! Happy 2021! It's felt like forever since we talked about Doctor Who over here! Instead we talked about punchy magical girls for 46,000 words. Yes. I counted. well, the new year came, and with it came a new Doctor Who episode. One basically in the can before the world went to hell, coincidentally right after the last Doctor Who episode aired. There was some trepidation from me on the eve of this airing, considering that it seemed for all the world like the last new Doctor Who we'd be getting for who the hell knew how long. Again, the world is completely fucked so I could understand the delay, but remember where we were two years ago. We were getting a Dalek New Year's special! OH AND THAT'S ALL THE WHO YOU GET FOR 2019 HAVE FUN PEACE OUT. It soured the proceedings just a bit, and I don't remember those proceedings particularly fondly anyways. This episode, on the other hand? It's not half-bad. No, I had a lot of fun with Revolution Of The Daleks. I want to put that up-front, I overall give this a thumbs-up. Overall, mind. For every good decision, there's something I can wave my hands around about and go "what in the fuck?". Let us do that and get into Revolution Of The Daleks.
