- They've added a new bit to the title sequence, making it slightly longer and arguably much more enjoyable.
- The opening was rather frenetic. A bit too frenetic frankly. Not sure that info-dumping all the key bits of the lore in the first ten minutes was really necessary.
- Not overly used to Fifteen yet; he's got a rather different tone. Or rather different way of delivering the same sort of lines that other doctors would.
- Ruby seems decent enough, but I would need more time to get used to her.
- The music was rather too loud and distracting in places.
- The butterfly effect bit was a decent short gag, but ultimately unnecessary.
- The CGI animation of the babies was frankly a bit creepy.
- Abandoning the station, but not being able to turn the baby machine off because it's illegal. I think that's a rather pointed comment about American abortion laws.
- Some rather clever science fiction tropes here.
- Ah, the Nannie filter... it's the sort of humour this show loves to do.
- Also, you're not a companion these days until you've been been gunged or soaked it seems.
- And RTD still hasn't outgrown toilet humour gags.
Conclusion
An enjoyable story, but still somewhat flawed. Could have done with being a bit longer to let some bits breathe.
8/10
