Never have the word of good ol' Ben Kenobi ringed more true than now.
On it's face value, Listen isn't half bad. For most people, it's a great episode, and I could agree, but what would be the fun in that? I was told by a friend that Listen was going to be good. I was hyped, I was hoping it would be good, then I saw behind the façade and saw the TRUTH!
Every second bleeds lazy writing, stolen ideas and something not too dissimilar to plagiarism. Yes Moffat, the plagiarism finger is being pointed at YOU.
Everything reeks of unoriginal ideas being stolen and re-purposed (like the Cybermen used to when they were good. Fuck you Neil Gaiman). In my personal list of 'Things Listen stole from Better episodes', there was Utopia, Blink, Hide, The Big Bang and Night Terrors just to name a few.
Don't even get me fucking started on this fucker.
People may like him, but I fucking don't. Now matter which space suit you put him in, or whatever name you give him, Danny Pink is Danny Pink and Danny Pink is shit. His purpose is the same as Gwen Stacy from Spider-Man (don't get me started on the 2 and 1/2 half long piece of shit that was The Amazing Spider Man). He exists only as a plot device, only to create and solve plot points because I'm sure it's less pressure on Steven Moffat's tiny brain. And Orson Pink is Danny Pink, and is also dreary and lifeless. But, Samuel Anderson isn't a bad actor. In Trollied, a comedy set in the fictional supermarket Valco, he's an assistant manager (also called Danny), but he's good! Why can't we have that?
Don't give Listen your time. It's a Frankenstein's monster of an episode, ideas re-purposed en masse in the hope that they will disguise each other. It's the epitome of shit Doctor Who, and is the perfect illustration of all the problems Modern Doctor Who has. Just ignore this piece of shit.
Final Grade: F
Fail on all levels. I can't even words.
