That's like a recurring plot in multiple episodes, nothing new.
I'm serious the amount of times a woman has died in Who only for their spirit to join the cosmos has been around 5 or 6 times now since series 1 (2005).

This isn't new either, was it Series 5 where he was friends and stayed with Craig for a year? The episode was OK, felt very mixed of Who tropes.

It is just a weird little tanget, but Doctor Who is known for those.
It is just the whole star thing kind of annoyed me.

What happened to the usual companion?

They parted ways. He is letting Ruby Sunday live her life for a while.

It's such a weird time to be alive. I used to love Star Trek, now I have been avoiding the latest one. I used to love The Doctor during the Tennant and Smith eras which was basically my first contact with the IP, but now I have zero interest for the IP. I used to love Star Wars, but Disney have done their darndest to make me lose interest there too. You could think that I have just grown out of them, but I still love watching the ones I loved back then and they still spark that same joy in me. I wish I could hibernate until those franchises get quality writers.

Either bring back Tennant, or kill the show.

The explosion was a bit shit and not in keeping though.
And I don't remember Wallace being quite that insufferable and mean to Gromit.

If you read up on why the latest Dr Who shows got such bad ratings, a reason for bad ratings is due to UK people watching on iPlayer. So it messed up apples to apple ratings vs other years.

That was cope, they weren't watching there either. But it was easy to hide those numbers.

Streaming numbers are down too.

Another round of defending this fucking trash by the usual suspects. It couldn't even break the top 5 most viewed shows on Christmas Day. It used to be at the top. 'But wait for the streaming numbers!' they all scream... then shut the fuck up instantly when they're terrible as well.
Their other gaslighting argument of 'people don't watch TV anymore' also completely blown out of the water by Gavin & Stacy's 12 million overnight figure.
The sooner this bloated corpse of a show is cancelled again, the better.

It's a bad show now full of agenda and their badly written so called science fiction, it will be the same as last year and each episode will get less and less viewers, but Disney is still in charge of this series as well i believe, so it's to be expected.

I've not watched any of it but have heard people saying that, apparently the Cuphead style episode was brilliant with some saying that's the best episode in years.

Sometimes, a writer will spin a yarn and it becomes more of a tall tale. That is what happened with last season.
It got a little too loosey goosey with the story.
What really annoys me about the show now is that the showrunner just had to make the character and show his own. He just had to make him gay like he his. He just had to push his beliefs.
He alienated a large portion of the audience by pulling that. I am rolling with it, but I felt it was a very selfish thing for the showrunner to do.

Looks like it's been dropping further. Rumors are floating around that they might not get renewed for S16, that maybe even Gatwa quit, and D+ is dropping their partnership. All unconfirmed so far according to the article.

‘Doctor Who’ Ratings Dive, Supercharging Uncertainty About Future Of Sci-Fi Series
There is so much speculation swirling around 'Doctor Who,' it's like a meteor shower has engulfed the Tardis. One thing is certain: ratings are down.

Series 2 wrapped up filming a year ago. Disney said it wouldn't make a decision on renewing until AFTER series 3. By that point Gatwa has moved on to other things. RTD has said that if Disney doesn't renew, it will go back to making it the way they used to without Disney money. Lower budget would be fine. Every episode doesn't need to be world-ending conflicts (or universe ending). In any case, filming wouldn't even start until last this year and series 4 would probably not come out until spring 2027Looks like it's been dropping further.

Today's episode was pretty bonkers. It is the first part of the season finale.
The Rani found a baby wish god and altered reality to the vison of a nutty conservative. It was all a plan to get the Doctor to doubt reality and cause it to break. Apparently, that happens when a Time Lord remembers an original reality.
This is what the next episode looks like:
