 "Rogue" is an episode from the latest series of Doctor Who 
 that has generated a fair amount of discussion, particularly 
 regarding its tone and character interactions. Here's a summary 
 of the key points from reviews: 
  
 **Strengths:** 
  
 * **Chemistry:** 
     * The chemistry between Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor and Jonathan 
  Groff's Rogue is a major highlight. Their interactions 
  are described as engaging and entertaining. 
     * Millie Gibson also delivers strong comedic timing. 
 * **Return to "Traditional" Who:** 
     * The episode is seen by some as a return to a more classic 
  "historical romp" format, which is a welcome change of pace. 
     * The episode has very good costume and set design. 
 * **Performances:** 
     * Ncuti Gatwa continues to impress with his charisma and range, 
  displaying both humor and emotional depth. 
     * Jonathan Groff gives a very strong performance as Rogue. 
  
 **Weaknesses:** 
  
 * **Plot:** 
     * Some reviewers found the plot to be somewhat 
  generic and lacking in real tension. 
     * The villains, the Chuldur, are described 
  by some as being underwhelming. 
     * The romantic element between the Doctor and Rogue, 
  while enjoyed by many, was considered by some to be rushed. 
 * **Pacing:** 
     * Though generally well recieved, some felt that the episode 
  could have used some tighter pacing. 
 * **Ending:** 
     * The ending of the Chuldur threat, 
  was considered by some to be a bit of a let down. 
  
 **Overall Impression:** 
  
 "Rogue" is generally considered to be a fun 
 and entertaining episode, with strong performances 
 and enjoyable character interactions. However, some 
 viewers may find the plot to be somewhat lacking 
 and the pacing to be uneven. It is a very good "fun" episode. 
  
 **Rating:** 
  
 Considering the strengths and weaknesses, 
 I'd rate "Rogue" a 80/100. It's a very enjoyable 
 episode that will be enjoyed by most viewers. 
  
 **Breakdown for viewers:** 
  
 * **For fans who enjoy strong character chemistry, 
 and light hearted fun:** 85/100 or higher. 
 * **For fans who prefer complex plots 
 and high-stakes action:** 70/100 to 75/100.
