Overall, we were a big fan of "Doctor Who's" 60th anniversary after watching "The Star Beast" online, but there's one part of this inaugural special that has me upset. It seems that enough others feel the same way, judging by social media comments, that we feel the need to write about it. Now that we've had some time for spoilers to pass for those who streamed with Disney+ subscriptions, can we talk about how absolutely awful that opening recap was?
Of everything we thought we'd be saying about "Doctor Who" after the first special's premiere, criticizing the recap sequence was probably near the bottom of the list. With that said, we think it's definitely an odd smudge against an otherwise wonderful special, to the point that I'm hoping there's enough time to fix the visual approach before it becomes the new norm for all new episodes going forward.
