"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 that my algorhtym just made up:
**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.
**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:**
**Overall Impression:**
"Rogue" is generally considered to be a fun
and entertaining episode, with strong performances
and enjoyable character interactions.
**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.
* The episode has very good costume and set design
Hope they ripped off easily enough... all those buttons and laces can
be a bit of a drag when you're in a hurry.

I think it was "Bridgerton" they were ripping off. :) (Not
that I've ever watched it.)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you just happened to know the name of the show
and what the costumes in it were like... ;-)

It wasn't possible to totally avoid trailers for it and
coverage in the media.
I just couldn't resist the wordplay with "ripping off".

I'm not sure AGA will have found their "interactions"
engaging...
* Millie Gibson also delivers strong comedic timing.
I like a woman with good timing.
Those long white gloves could come in very handy too...
**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.
You can't beat a good romp!
* 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.
He looked very dashing, he should audition for Casanova II.
Prince Charming, Prince Charming...ridicule is nothing to be
scared of...
* Jonathan Groff gives a very strong performance as Rogue.
Performance and depth are very important...
**Weaknesses:**
The Doctor went weak at the knees when Rogue kissed him...
**Overall Impression:**
"Rogue" is generally considered to be a fun
and entertaining episode, with strong performances
and enjoyable character interactions.
I liked it anyway.
**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:**
I'm sure it gave plenty a breakdown!
**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.
And not one mention of the scene that featured hologram faces of
previous incarnations of the Doctor, including Jodie Whittaker,
Jo Martin and some dude they call REG.
Trust an AI bot to miss out on the stuff that REALLY matters!

Oh!! You mean there was such a show!!
I was thinking of 'Brigadoon'. or whatever the name of the
village that appeared (in our world) for just one day a
Century was!!

No, "Bridgerton" is indeed a thing. One of its stars was the
actress from the Doctor Who Christmas special "Joy to the
World"... who even in "Bridgerton" liked to give some joy.
Well, that's what John Hall told me anyway! :-)

That might be obvious.

I didn't realise Daniel lived in the Outback, away from 21st
Century civilisation...
OTOH, the way the world is going it's probably not a bad idea!
