I kind of agree with this. Davies pushed interest rates to zero which generated a major short term boom but robbed the future of it's staying power.

I might be one of the only people who liked the Flux arc (or at least didn't dislike it) but that's largely due to Whittaker's charisma.

"Flux" was better than it had any right to be under Covid filming restrictions. And they did some bold swings, and crammed them into a condensed season, which is gutsy in any normal context.

I wish they'd connected the dots a little better, particularly in the finale, but it's as bonkers as "Trial of a Time Lord" which I also have a soft spot for.

the only bad thing about flux is that thasmin should have been canon as a result of it.

That's more generous than I'm willing to be towards "Flux" 🙂

At least Thasmin (in some form) was spelled large in the specials and "Power of the Doctor"... but it was a bit late in the day.
