I made it 30 minutes or so into the special until I switched off, this time for good, I think. I haven't even watched the last Chibnall season and I am so annoyed how much they destroyed the first female Doctor (which was a good premise) and discarded probably the only good idea the Chibnall run had almost immediately (seriously, the Lone Cyberman was great). And I wanted this new special to be good, but man, did it suck. The first WTF moment was Donna's daughter (Rose, sure, yea), who is supposed to be 12 or 13 years old, but looks like mid-20s. One of the worst casting choices I've seen in a long time and I still don't know what they thought when casting that actress. David Tennant looks like he doesn't care and just wants this to be over with, so he can cash in his paycheck. All in all this was such a massive letdown.
