The whole episode up until the ending was amazing, it felt like how doctor who should feel especially thanks to donna. "Im donna and youre a gonner" shit made me and my friend laugh so hard. That was classic donna. And oh my god the toymaker explaining what happened to the docs companions after her? Incredible scene. And toymaker dancing around unit was awesome. But then it crashed hard, they pull bi-generation out of their arse. If its a myth the doctor knew about, something that big has to be built up to, to me it just felt like a cheap way to copy the 50th with having 2 doctors on screen.

Although from the small bits ive seen of him, ncuti seems to me like hes gonna be an incredible doctor. That one scene when he kicked 14 and donna out of the tardis, jokingly, with sass was awesome, felt like a NEW doctor, but still the doctor. Also his interactions with tennant were so heartfelt. No doubts hes gonna be great.

Too bad they fucked up the sonic so bad lmao. I can gurantee this new sonic wont be able to make FUCKING SHIELDS because thats op and they were just lazily thinking of a way to get 14 out of that situation.

Im going to give ncuti a go, but with that ending it felt like i had what doctor who used to be ripped from me. If they keep retconning things like davros for the sole purpose of: "wheelchair users cant be assosciated with evil" then the shows dead to me and thats really upsetting

I suspect bi-generation is a ploy to make this Doctor, and all he does, reversible. I understand if RTD didn't want to carry all the dense guilt and lone wolf weight of Moffitt's Doctor into his version, but just dumping it onto poor Tennant and carrying on with a properly "counseled" Doctor, as if the new Doctor wasn't a continuity but rather a drop in from already having a life, seems....weird.

But for the producers, if it doesn't work out you can just eliminate the RTD storyline and switch back to Tennant. After all, who really expects a time lord to sit on a porch drinking lemonade for long?
