By now, you will have watched the premiere of the new Doctor Who and 'Space Babies.' I've already said it might be the most insane story Russell T. Davies has ever written, a deceptively light and wacky kick-off to the new season and a new era on Disney+. It is gleefully wacky, shamelessly manipulative, and defiantly joyful.
The monster is part of a scenario created by a literal-minded ship AI that's programmed to help. As the Fourth Doctor once said, 'Computers are very sophisticated idiots.' The Boogeyman looks scary, but the computer is generating an ultrasonic frequency that induces fear and panic in mammals. Jocelyn acts out of fear and tries to kill it by sending it out the airlock like Ripley did in Alien.
