Curate, connect, and discover
I've been thinking about it an unhealthy amount... But like we have sooo much dark, gritty sci-fi now. Black Mirror just came out with another season last week that shows us the darkest sides of the future. Paid advertising in medicine etc etc.
Why shouldn't RTD let an alien twink hoover up incels with a retro-future Roomba? Or fight a fifty foot fifties cartoon character. It's a universe where literally anything can happen and I think that's awesome.
It's the goofiness that sets Who apart and a lot of people forgot that after Moffat's run.
