Not bad. A little too fluffy but one of the better attempts.

However D¹³ is no Errol Flynn, evidently her sword skills have degraded over the last ten or so regenerations.
And the UST is just silly and really should have been dropped. Though better than the D¹⁰/Rose mess.
Also when fighting a numerically enemy you do not let them into the large open space so they can mob you. 
  
And was that a rhombicuboctahedron I saw?

It was very rambly and the story didn't seem to have much of a point to it. I also don't really believe the Doctor/Yaz chemistry. It feels quite forced. Looking forward to the next episode though and seeing how all this ties up.

'I'm the Doctor and I've caught a wopper!'

Sums it up really doesn't it?

And once again, I’m left unimpressed.

And I know Twitter (Hah!) has gone mental with regards to that Next Time trailer but if anything it just comes across as an overstuffed mess packed to the brim with continuity references to distract from the bad writing. Still, I’m willing to be proven wrong.

If anything, I think it just serves as further proof that aside from casting the first female Doctor this era has hardly been a breath of fresh air like others claim.

Again, just my opinion though.

If that had been a mid season episode, I would of been quite happy. But as a "Special" that should be keeping us happy until later in the year I'm disappointed. Should have been a much stronger entry... That sums up how I feel about Doctor Who recently. I've gone from saying "could of been" to "should of been".

It's been a day and the only thing I can clearly recall was that shot of the Sea Devil jumping like Mario because it made me choke on my drink. Just... standard Chibnall autopilot. Yet another weird moment where a bunch of enemies are indirectly killed by a TARDIS crewmember, yet another side character sacrificing themselves so the Doctor doesn't have to do it (a common trope generally, but it's been every other episode this era!), yet another load of over-explanation of things that should be simple enough for us to understand while other things are way too under-explained... same old, same old. I'm not particularly upset or annoyed, just bored.

NEXT TIME TRAILER SPOILERS
At this point I can't even be excited that my two favourite classic companions are reappearing in the main show, because we're just going to get the usual Chibnall writing, as much as I hate come across as directly insulting someone. I also can't believe that after all of the joking I've been doing about this era being a weak retread of Tennant's, Jodie is even going to regenerate in the exact same type of glass cabinet as him!

Not too bad - Chibnall's writing is still quite bad, but a bit better than his normal fare.
Still can't see what the others see in Yaz - possibly the worst of the NuWho companions. Also, the Sea Devils looked stupid wielding swords - still, at least they tried to make them look like the original version.
