XPost: rec.arts.drwho, uk.media.tv.sf.drwho, rec.arts.sf.tv XPost: rec.arts.tv From: doctor@doctor.nl2k.ab.ca "Oxygen" is a standout episode of Doctor Who Series 10, praised for its chilling atmosphere, social commentary, and Peter Capaldi's powerful performance. **Strengths:** * **Unique Concept:** The idea of a space station where oxygen is a commodity is both chilling and thought-provoking. It raises important questions about corporate greed, social inequality, and the value of human life. * **Atmospheric and Suspenseful:** The episode effectively builds suspense and creates a claustrophobic atmosphere, with the constant threat of oxygen deprivation adding to the tension. * **Peter Capaldi's Performance:** Capaldi delivers a powerful and nuanced performance, conveying the Doctor's frustration, fear, and determination in the face of this deadly threat. * **Character Development:** The episode provides some strong character moments, particularly for the Doctor, as he faces the consequences of his actions and grapples with his own mortality. * **Visuals and Sound Design:** The episode is visually striking, with effective use of lighting and sound design to create a sense of dread and isolation. **Possible Weaknesses:** * **Some May Find it Disturbing:** The concept of people dying from lack of oxygen can be quite disturbing for some viewers. **Overall Impression:** "Oxygen" is a chilling and thought-provoking episode that explores complex social issues within the framework of a science fiction story. It's a testament to the strengths of Series 10 and a must-watch for any Doctor Who fan. **Rating:** Considering the strong concept, atmospheric setting, and Peter Capaldi's powerful performance, I'd rate "Oxygen" a **9/10**. It's a near-perfect episode that will stay with viewers long after the credits roll. **Breakdown for viewers:** * **For fans who enjoy suspenseful stories, thought-provoking themes, and strong character performances:** 9.5/10 or even 10/10 * **For viewers who are easily disturbed by depictions of violence or death:** 8/10 -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@nk.ca Ici doctor@nk.ca Yahweh, King & country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising!
