I gave it a 2 because you have to have somewhere to go for future efforts don't you? And this season is probably going to provide opportunities to rate lower.

It's a shockingly bad episode, it seems cheaply made and in these days of cheap set-extending effects I don't see why it need look cheap.

The script, was it thrown together in a weekend? Boring, and the point of the episode was not even what we had just watched for 30minutes.

The village is the important thing here so why start with hijinks in space? We need background to these characters in the village so we care about them when they are under threat.

Everyone is hollow and cardboard (in addition to Jenna Coleman's usual cardboardery turn as emotionless void #1) The costumes looked bad. Odin had a cheap horned hat that looked like spray-painted tat from 1973. And so on.

This is the kind of dreck that got the show cancelled all those years ago.
