When you follow Doctor Who, a malfunction in electronic items is sure to happen. Well, this time it is the emojibots that actually malfunction and kill. This is evident in the beginning. The humans who were sent to be keep the settlement from earth. They have robots to help them and make the settlement work.

He changes his mind and stops the engines from destroying the city.The humans wake up and almost cause the destruction of the all the robots. The Doctor finds a way to reset the robots. In the process the humans and the robots become friends.

This story to me was good. The action and the way if plays out is great. There are surprises in the story to keep you guessing. The story line revolves around the Doctor which I love. That is what Doctor Who is about, the Doctor and not the companion. I like the first and second episode of Season 10 and I look forward to the rest of the season. I can see now I will hate to see Peter Capaldi leave after the Christmas Special.
