This doctor really does not want to be alone.

Am northern, so a love how everyone speaks northern. Sorry. The doctor and the companions are northern!

Old people imagining and talking to their lost loved one is realistic.

Loved Ryan's reaction to the webbed up woman.

It feels surprising but nice being physically attracted to the doctor. Now i know how those fans felt about being attracted to the previous doctors.

I'm not exactly sure about the morality shown at the end. The doctor's morality is shown to be about... Letting the spiders suffocate?, while the bad guy wants to shoot the spiders and give them a quick death, and that's portrayed as bad. How exactly is that worse than the former deaths? It's not. The doctor just disapproves of using a gun specifically. She was disapproving of the intention of the bad guy in wanting to shoot the spiders, but what about our heroes? She wouldn't doubt their intention in using mercy with a gun, but she wouldn't let them.

Other than that, i thought this was a good episode, and i'm surprised at the rating. Yeah like the bad guy was an obvious Trump comparison, but even though he was a caricature, he wasn't evil, he was just a scumbag.

I liked the chillin with Yaz's family and getting to know them a bit. I liked Graham and Ryan getting a bit closer. I liked the spider sequences. I liked some of the investigation about it.

Edit: Lowering my rating after some reflection and reading other comments. It feels like we didn't get a proper ending. Like the doctor should have thought of another way to save the spiders or solve the situation, and there was a lack of resolution with the garbage dump that's under each hotel. There's also the main bad guy not changing enough due to this experience. And more plot contrivances too like all the spiders being lured by music? And there were other spiders in the city. The spiders weren't scary enough, and this is coming from an arachnophobe.
