Yeah, that was a bit of a stretch. Of course, it's abilities have changed over time based on narrative need or improved editing techniques as we see here.
Or, maybe the BBC used the money from Disney to buy some better SFX servers
That money definitely shines through to whole production: cameras, lighting, cinematography, SFX. I'm just worried how jarring it will be to go back to the show level production. Unless the episodes are suddenly $1 million a piece.
Oh the episodes have been $1 million a piece for a while. One million for an episode of a sci-fi show is a bargain. That's baseline. For reference: An episode of "Superman and Lois", the CW show, allegedly costs roughly 1.5 million dollar. As much as I dislike a lot of the visual decisions made by Chibnall it's clear the BBC spend money on his run. An episode in series 11-13 cost reportedly roughly 3.5 million
