Regardless of story matters, does anyone else feel like the budget might have taken a hit this season? The new opening titles and much of the FX are seriously lacking. (In comparison to the last few seasons, which have been marvelously cinematic.)
I thought the sets and FX in Cold War were kind of outstanding. The sets felt totally real and claustrophobic. The CGI was just about as good as anything the BBC puts out.
One thing I love about the new opening title is that it pays homage to the previous opening sequences in it. I see references to Hartnell, Pertwee, Davison, C. Baker, McCoy in there and the whole thing ends with the Tom Baker tunnel.
