I'm diving deep into the latest Doctor Who episode, "Space Babies," and boy, do I have a lot to unpack. This marks our first full season since 2021, and with all the Disney money poured into promotion, expectations were sky-high. But did "Space Babies" live up to the hype?

Now, onto the episode. Here's how I felt going in:

The revamped titles had me hopeful.
The initial scenes, showcasing Ruby and the planet, exuded that classic Doctor energy.
The slower moments and narrative cuts kept me intrigued, especially the evolving memories.
Ncuti and Millie continue to shine as a delightful duo.
The ending scene with Ruby and the Doctor was pure Doctor magic.
Plus, the nod to "Church on Ruby Road" as the season opener felt more fitting.
But now, onto the not-so-great aspects:

Those CGI-mouthed babies were seriously distracting. A little beanie or alien makeover could've worked wonders.
Talking down to the babies felt cringeworthy, even for a family program.
The Bogeyman's booger-based existence, while amusing, cheapened the threat.
Russell's track record with season openers leaves much to be desired, and "Space Babies" sadly continues the trend.
While the episode had its moments, it didn't quite hit the mark for me, especially for newcomers to the series.
