"The Well" is probably the most interesting to me, given the non-description. It looks like it'll be the season's "Midnight", and I can't be mad about that.
"Lucky Day" - it didn't occur to me that the big Ruby episode might be Doctor-lite...it has potential to be interesting. Maybe a bit of a backdoor pilot for "The War Between the Land and the Sea"?
Okay, I don't have much in the way of thoughts about the others. They all seem perfectly fine, and I don't mean that in a backhanded sort of way.
On the face of it, all eight of these sound pretty exciting to me. I'm most excited to see a break from the Western mythosphere with The story and the engine, and probably least about the Eurovision gimmick episode โ but I hope a bit of Doctor Who will sweeten the ~~pop~~ pot for me.
Yeah, The well โ no telling what that is yet, except apparently it's a horror story, and I do love those. Besides, if it's "weird" the way Wild blue yonder was weird, I'm here for it.
I just don't know about the two-part finale. It could be interesting, but it's hard to say how much of it only holds water in a short summary delivered with a lot of bluster. Cautiously optimistic here.
I just take it as a given that RTD finales are likely to be pretty messy, but hopefully it will at least be a fun ride.
