Haven’t seen a discussion post for the new special, so I’ll get the ball rolling. Thoughts, insights, bits you loved… let it all out.

Yeah, that was a bit of a stretch. Of course, it’s abilities have changed over time based on narrative need or improved editing techniques as we see here.
Or, maybe the BBC used the money from Disney to buy some better SFX servers
That money definitely shines through to whole production: cameras, lighting, cinematography, SFX. I’m just worried how jarring it will be to go back to the show level production. Unless the episodes are suddenly $1 million a piece.
One of my first thoughts watching it was “these opening credits look expensive” lol
Oh the episodes have been $1 million a piece for a while. One million for an episode of a sci-fi show is a bargain. That’s baseline. For reference: An episode of “Superman and Lois”, the CW show, allegedly costs roughly 1.5 million dollar. As much as I dislike a lot of the visual decisions made by Chibnall it’s clear the BBC spend money on his run. An episode in series 11-13 cost reportedly roughly 3.5 million
I was with it for the display thing. But the energy sheild…ehhh…
I didn’t necessarily hate the energy shield thingies, but they definitely could make things boring if they keep bailing out everyone.
I liked that they were clearly not impervious, and only useful as a temporary shield. The detail of them beginning to break with every impact was well done.
