Doctor Who S11E01

[asra]

The Cliff Notes version of my reaction: too many new characters to focus on.

+ The Doctor we know, sort of, and it's exciting to see Thirteen discover herself. Re the companions, though, would really have preferred the focus to remain on Yasmin just one new character.

+ How much do I love that she made her own sonic screwdriver?

+ It was pretty obvious which of the four new 'companions' was going to die, given that I only saw promos with the other three. :-/

+ The whole 'Tim Shaw' thing was offensive af? Surely the Doctor of all people should know not to mock someone of a different race?

Jodie Whittaker, though. ♥

I went in kind of side-eyeing the whole idea, but found her to be a lot of fun, actually. She reminded me of 10, but I'm sure she's going to put her own spin on the doctor as she settles in. :)

Yes, I'm sure she is. She definitely makes a really good first impression. :-)

I'm sure the Doctor would have shown Tim Shaw more respect if he hadn't already shown himself to be an asshat. She was giving him all the respect he deserved and that's what I read in her deliberate mispronunciation of his name.

Agreed, but you don't demonise your enemy by making fun of their ethnicity; that's not why he's the bad guy.

*SPOILER ALERT*

















Actually, it kinda is why he's the bad guy, although she didn't know he was from a race of asshats at the time.
