This did what was thought to be impossible

If you love NuWho, we all have the same go-to when it comes to worst episode; Love and Monsters.

But not anymore, I say to you, there is a new bottom of the barrel.

The script looked like they only have filmed every other page, the dialog is another "I should write for Big Finish Stories" special (for those who don't know, they are audio books) in which everything is explained, even if you see it being acted out on screen. But not only that, the dialog is as wooden as the acting, and I've seen trees who acted better. The only one who really wasn't acting like they were auditioning for the school play they didn't want to act in was John Bishop.

I don't know if continuity is completely on the shoulders of the director, but rain-dry-rain-dry-rain in one scene, sometimes between shots, that's so sloppy. And I'm not saying anything about the modern sneakers, even big productions have that oversight sometimes, but it adds...

Oh, and the resolution was another Chibnall special; let others do the dirty work.

Really, I'm hoping, waiting, praying for RTD2. That's the only hope for the survival of the undying doctor.
