"Doctor Who: Boom - A Futuristic War Tale by Stephen Moffat

Stephen Moffat's latest Doctor Who episode, 'Boom,' plunges us into the heart
of a futuristic battlefield, where the stakes are high and the tension
is palpable from start to finish. The episode opens amidst the chaos of war,
with landmines ready to explode and HQ buzzing with activity. A beacon scanner
glows ominously in the distance, setting the stage for an intense,
action-packed narrative.

The Doctor and Ruby find themselves in the thick of it, with the Doctor running
into the field then literally standing on a landmine. The sequence is gripping
as Ruby, using quick thinking and bravery, attempts to save the Doctor
by transferring an object that might diffuse the situation. The tension mounts
as the countdown continues, and drones hover overhead, heightening the sense of
urgency.

Moffat skillfully weaves in themes of war and loss, illustrated poignantly
when Carson is blown up and an ambulance vehicle coldly disposes of a wounded
prisoner. The Doctor, always the voice of reason, describes war as
a business, offering a sobering reflection on the human condition.

The episode's emotional core is revealed through the character of Splice,
the daughter of a deceased soldier, who rushes into the battlefield upon
seeing an image of her father. The stakes are raised as a soldier,
an ordained Anglican Marine, tries to convince the Doctor that
he is standing on a deadly mine. The Doctor's resilience and ability
to resist even as the soldier shoots at him is a testament to his
indomitable spirit.

Ruby's bravery is tested to the limit when she is shot by another
soldier and the ambulance identifies her as someone who supposedly
died years earlier. In a heart-wrenching moment, Ruby makes it snow,
symbolizing both her fragility and strength. As she lies dying,
the Doctor's plea for peace resonates deeply,
convincing the AI of the deceased soldier to act.

The climax sees the Doctor successfully off the mine and Ruby
miraculously revived. The war ends, bringing peace to a once-beautiful planet
ravaged by conflict. The resolution is both satisfying and bittersweet, echoing
themes from past episodes like 'The Doctor's Daughter' and 'Time of Angels.'

Overall, 'Boom' is a masterfully crafted episode that combines action,
emotion, and profound commentary on war and humanity. Moffat delivers
a story that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling, making it
a standout installment in the Doctor Who series."

7/10

You missed the opportunity to write about it yourself instead of
getting an AI to do it for you.

(You also missed that about the rest of the episode too.)

I don't think you missed anything from the ending, but, and this is
another spoiler, you didn't mention that this particular war was
manufactured and sold by a literal war monger, and the soldiers we
saw, and their army, were the only soldiers involved, there was no
Enemy, they were fighting the fog and the mud (where they were told
"The Enemy" concealed themselves).

They were written as complete and utter imbecilic morons, which is the
only way this imbecilic premise could have fooled anyone. When real
soldiers and real armies go to war they verify the positions and
movements of the enemy combatants and also verify the casualties caused
by strikes on enemy positions and photograph and count the dead bodies
(using satellite imagery etc. like in Golden Eye). I know this as an
absolute fact because I know people that are doing it for the US
military which is helping Ukraine select Russian targets to hit. These
people have PhDs. They're not complete fucking imbeciles like the woke
far-left retards Moffat and Davies want to portray them as. You just
have to ask, does these fucktards actually know they're disseminating
Russian anti-Western propaganda?

What did I miss from the beautiful peaceful ending?
I don't think you missed anything from the ending, but, and this is
another spoiler, you didn't mention that this particular war was
manufactured and sold by a literal war monger, and the soldiers we
saw, and their army, were the only soldiers involved, there was no
Enemy, they were fighting the fog and the mud (where they were told
"The Enemy" concealed themselves).
This doesn't read like anything The Doctor's ever posted. I bet he
cribbed it from an actual online review.
It’s “AI” generated screed, lots of characteristic AI “tics” in the
writing. Note the heavy use of adjectives and adverbs, and stock AI phrases
that it throws in whenever anyone asks it to review anything.
That was my second thought.

prisoner. The Doctor, always the voice of reason, describes war as
a business, offering a sobering reflection on the human condition.
The episode's emotional core is revealed through the character of Splice,
the daughter of a deceased soldier, who rushes into the battlefield upon
seeing an image of her father. The stakes are raised as a soldier,
an ordained Anglican Marine, tries to convince the Doctor that
he is standing on a deadly mine. The Doctor's resilience and ability
to resist even as the soldier shoots at him is a testament to his
indomitable spirit.
Ruby's bravery is tested to the limit when she is shot by another
soldier and the ambulance identifies her as someone who supposedly
died years earlier. In a heart-wrenching moment, Ruby makes it snow,
symbolizing both her fragility and strength. As she lies dying,
the Doctor's plea for peace resonates deeply,
convincing the AI of the deceased soldier to act.
The climax sees the Doctor successfully off the mine and Ruby
miraculously revived. The war ends, bringing peace to a

Overall, 'Boom' is a masterfully crafted episode that combines action,
emotion, and profound commentary on war and humanity. Moffat delivers
a story that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling, making it
a standout installment in the Doctor Who series."
