Matt has some thoughts on the #DoctorWho Series 2 finale #TheRealityWar. They are mostly SPOILER heavy, but there's a bit at the beginning that is safe.
#DoctorWhoTheRealityWar is rated 3/5 - kabOOOm!

DOCTOR WHO: THE REALITY WAR [Review]
The Reality War, much like Doctor Who Series 2, is conflicted and troubling, despite some brilliant moments.

I am so glad it looks like the current TARDIS interior may have survived this one.

I've been trying to describe #DoctorWho #TheRealityWar to my sister is who is just a casual Who watcher and not entirely up to date but who did watch "Wish World" with me and just ... I don't know where to start.

In-universe, given what we learned in #therealitywar why didn't the 13th Doctor bi-generate? #doctorwho

The biggest crime of #TheRealityWar 💀 is that not even #DoctorWho feels confident in itself anymore. The key-jangling of The Rani, Omega and Susan all amounted to nothing - and the lack of “…as THE DOCTOR” in the end credits arguably indicates it won’t even commit to its own stunt-casting! 😠

Also, I may have just been hyper-aware of it because of the amount of people talking about it but it really comes out of nowhere when Belinda is retconned to have been a mum the whole time.
I get what RTD was going for but it doesn’t really work at all. #DoctorWho

#DoctorWho is no stranger to dodgy optics, I know - but Ruby telling Conrad his alt-right wet dream world in which a woman’s place was in the kitchen, disabled people were outcasts and trans people didn’t exist was “nice” — what the fuck was that all about? 😭

Re-watched #TheRealityWar 💀; still feel incredibly mixed to negative on it. I think there’s a fine episode underneath it all but it’s bogged down in so much tripe.
Why does 15 spend SO LONG refusing to take Ruby seriously when Poppy disappears? It’s so awkward.

I'm not even as upset (as many are) with the casting of Billie Piper as *??* - she's a great actress and I'm sure she'll be wonderful in whatever capacity we have her in.
I just can't be excited for that right now. I'm DESPERATELY deflated. #DoctorWho

I hate to don my tinfoil hat, but I don't believe this for a second. Ncuti doesn't even sound convincing in the video. 😭
He had so much left to give. It's obvious *from this episode* that there were arcs left to be wrapped up.
What a mess. ☹️

Y'know, I genuinely wish they'd kept going with the 'Poppy is The Doctor and Belinda's daughter' thing instead of retconning it by the end.
I don't care how mad/ridiculous it would've been. I was here for it. Look at their faces. 💔 #DoctorWho

Okay, some positives:
- It was lovely seeing Anita again. I did a little cheer.
- Poppy disappearing was a genuine heart-in-mouth moment. Millie Gibson played an absolute BLINDER there.
- The 13th Doctor scene was really nice.

I'm not gonna lie, lads; I feel so deflated. 😭
Devastated to lose Ncuti Gatwa so soon. I've enjoyed him a lot, but I do feel like he's been massively underserved. Even the regeneration felt tacked on. Easily the weakest since 1987. ☹️

Maybe I’m just in denial, but the fact that she wasn’t credited as ‘THE DOCTOR’ makes me think we haven’t seen the last of Ncuti yet and she’s just here in the interim…

There's lots to say re #DrWho #TheRealityWar but bit near end when Ncuti gets back in TARDIS leaving Poppy & Mum, music-wise, very much a #MercuryRev #TheDarkIsRising homage.
Great tune.
Not dissimilar to how #ClintMansell's #RequiemForADream theme kept re-appearing everywhere, drama-wise, for years
