Black Panther and the Crew #1 - In order to set up this new group of super heroes, we go back in time to show that
Read more…I quite liked this, I thought it was a good start to Capaldi's last season. The story itself was good, and I liked Pearl Mackie and Bill, I think she has potential. I gather Moffat intended this episode to be a "jumping-on" point for new viewers, a
