Like yeah, you might not like how she was handled in season 5, but this post is just blatantly disregarding every single aspect of her character for what, just another excuse to hate on the show? Like holy shit we can’t actually be at this point where we’re this desperate to shit on the show, can we?
And when I say Harold Saxon, that’s obviously just to assist the spoiler tag. Most people here know I mean the Master. We were getting reference to his presence since the runaway bride and he was, in the same way as Bad Wolf, built up very nicely and subtly through the season, but does anyone else think he should have actually appeared earlier? Maybe in an episode like The Lazarus Experiment would’ve been appropriate. Present day, big public event, I think it would’ve suited nicely and been a really nice way to add to the later twist of his reveal and hit the Doctor even harder when he sees the Master‘s been there all along.
The giant metal “band-aid” that was put over the cracks in season 5 has certainly been a subject of controversy around here for the last few months. But to be honest, I just don’t really understand why. What would you realistically have done if you were in the army and had to stop people going near it? Obviously Hawkins could’ve just been evacuated but that seems far worse from a storytelling perspective honestly. Would’ve been near impossibly for anything to happen. When we came to the finale and Vecna began his final plan, had I been writing I probably would’ve had the plates melt away when the gate activated but before that they were pretty much dormant. Simply an open door without much else happening. I just don’t see why people have so much issue with what I think is a perfectly logical and let’s face it, pretty realistic solution to a massive hole in the Earth.
