10 Doctor Who Moments That Make NO SENSE

7. Legend Of The Sea Devils, Just Generally

Ah, Legend of the Sea Devils. What a mess.

Jodie Whittaker's second-to-last outing as the Doctor is not only the least-watched NuWho episode ever, but it was also roundly smashed by fans and critics. The production of the episode was extremely rushed (something even showrunner Chris Chibnall has admitted), and oh boy can you tell.

At one point the TARDIS, with the Doctor and Yaz onboard, gets eaten by a giant sea monster. A few minutes pass and we spend some time with Pirate Dan, and when we cut back to the Doctor and Yaz, they're somehow... inside the Sea Devils' base?

What?

It's not clear where they are or how they got there. Is the Sea Devil base inside the monster? Or has it transported them somewhere else? And where's the monster now?!

There are many small disconnects like this one throughout the episode, and it makes the whole thing a rather confusing, frustrating experience to watch.
