Good to hear.
I plan on watching it later.
My thoughts exactly. There's a lot of moving parts here.
Yaz is gonna slap somebody before this series is over. She's tired of the universe's crap 
This first ep was really good and set up so much stuff that I have no clue where any of it is heading.
And the villain here is actually kinda terrifying.
Like a legit cosmic Marvel villain.
Havent seen a villain feel like that in a while.

Really enjoyed the opening. Felt like no other opening episode in NuWho.
Could all fall apart in the execution but so far it’s good.
Upcoming episodes:
Ep:2 War of the Sontarans
Ep:3 Once, Upon Time
Ep:4 Village of the Angels

this felt like an ep of Classic Who, and not NuWho. That's not a bad thing, though. Chibbs showing us he can juggle multiple stories at once. It's a nice change of pace, honestly. Funny how he doing this unique and signature storytelling in his last season. 
I said the same thing to myself when the episode ended.
What the hell was Chibnall waiting for? This should have been the level of Who he was producing all along.
I liked the 2nd episode even more than the first one too.
It's the most I've enjoyed an ep of Who in a long, long time and I'd rate it a lot higher than a large amount of Moffat episodes as well.
Jonathan Watson, a fellow Scotsman, was absolutely fantastic in his role as the Sontaran's. I hope they get him back. We've mostly had Dan Starkey in the role for such a long time that it was refreshing to have a change. Also a nice touch having Dan Starkey back as a Sontaran in the past 2 episodes as well though.
John Bishop is great as Dan. I knew he would be, comedy actors have always been great value in Who. Catherine Tate totally won me over after portraying Donna, Bradley Walsh was the biggest standout of the Chibnall-era for me, Matt Lucas as Nardole, even Bernard Cribbins as Wilf and also in his role in the second Who film.
Everything about this weeks episode really stood out to me. The guest actors who played Dan's parents especially. Probably no reference to American viewers but there was a soap called Brookside which was often gritty and pushed boundaries and to see actors from that, still in a Liverpool set show and being generally Liverpudlian is just great. The show spent so much time in London/Cardiff that it's really refreshing to see other places recently like Sheffield & Liverpool. Such a shame that Moffat, a Scotsman, couldn't have set even 1 fukking story in a modern day Scottish city. Especially Glasgow which has Police Call Boxes all over the place! One even used to make the sound of the TARDIS dematerialising. One is an Indian takeaway now and another sells CBD products!
Story is great too, constantly gripped and wondering what's going on and where it's all going. More of the same please.

You know what else is awesome about these first two episodes of Flux?It's the most I've enjoyed an ep of Who in a long, long time and I'd rate it a lot higher than a large amount of Moffat episodes as well.

The villains are legit frightening and incredibly powerful.
Every time those stalactite faced siblings came near Yaz I was shook.
right?
I was telling my girl that it seemed like youd need Silver Surfer and Adam Warlock to show up and put a stop to things.
It's been one of my minor gripes over the last few years. WE know The Doctor has fought and beat STOOPIDLY high end enemies (Celestial Toymaker, Omega, Fenric, Sutekh, Eternals/Celestis, etc). But.... like Time War fukkery, it's really only been "implied". Sure, 10 fought some Satan type creature, but that monster wasn't worthy to wash the dishes of any of the folks on that high end list.
Swarm and Azure so far feel like they'd be on the tail end of that list, but they still feel like they should be on it.

Crazy part is, I don't even like Sontaran stories. That's how good this ep was.
These last two seasons have felt like BBC cattleprodded Chibbs and told him to write like he means it
(my only gripe still with last season was them fumbling the season finale payoff)
Yeah I'm wondering if Chibs is going down the Eternals route. It was heavily rumoured that his first series was going to feature them.
The villains are superb. And its 50/50 between their characterisation and actors behind them. Very classic Who campness with the actors loving every fukking minute of it and more than a touch of Hellraiser and I love it. I'm almost starting to wonder if RTD has some sort of uncredited contribution to this story. Maybe it was needed in terms of how the show is working recently, i don't think all the blame can come at Chibnall's door though.

I was surprised to see that this is the first story to feature the Sontarans as antagonists in 13 years! Last time we had them as a threat was eh...fukked if I can remember, Atmos.
Edit- - Sontaran Staratgem/Poison Sky. Amazes me how long this show has been back.
