I liked it. Jodi's is a dangerous universe. People die and there's nothing the doctor can do about it. The universe also seems more grounded in reality. No more Slitheen farts or 3-D glasses. Not that I disliked those things, but it's a more serious tone. Maybe showing some of that Torchwood influence?
How long do you think we'll go without the Tardis? The whole season?Mortui Vivos Docent

Considering where we left our quartet, literally, I imagine just a few seconds longer!
I caught that the show was forgoing an opening credit sequence, fine by me, but they completely cut out every second of the credits over on our side of the pond. Grrr, haha.Last edited by toothaction; Oct 7, '18, 4:30 PM.>>> Looking for a few Bif Bang Pow! pretties. Please click to see if you can help!Comment

while I did not have any issue with the story overall, and Jodi was okay for the premier, still to find herself in the character. I found the liberal minded PC bull**** of the casting choices for the companions insulting. doesn't have anything to do with whether the show will be good or bad, I am just sick of this PC SJW crap being shoved down my throat. I will give it 2 more episodes and if the writing and acting isn't great, I am done with the show until the next doctorComment

This Doctor looks promising. Action oriented. I enjoyed the 1st episode and look forward to the next.Comment

I love the diverse cast because I haven't seen a Tardis crew like this, that will be interesting. I think that's why they were chosen, story wise.
Found the episode overall pretty decent, they avoided any cringey remarks and while I think Whittaker seems to be chanelling David Tennant, the actors need to find their voice. Not found of the outfit, loved the theme and the fact that it ended on cliffhanger. I'm in for more.

It will be interesting to see how the BBC handles the "educational" aspects of the forthcoming episodes where the Doctor takes Yasmin back to India during the time of the British Empire and Ryan to the USA in 1955 to witness the famous Rosa Parks incident.PUNY HUMANS!Comment

I thought the first episode was promising, thought she had a bit of a Eccleston/Tennant vibe. I hope you all were able to understand the thick northern accents of Sheffield. Her response to being regenerated into a woman was perfect (even hinting that the Doctor had been a woman in the past).Comment

I'm hoping that they do at least one straight historical adventure, no aliens, just normal mystery and/or period bad guys. There hasn't been one since the 5th Doctor's Black Orchid (I believe...is that correct?).
Almost had one with 10 & Agatha Christie then they threw in the giant wasp creature.
Also, why did the Doctor say her family is all gone? Did I miss something? Isn't Susan still out there as well as Jenny?Comment

To me it felt like a tribute to the 80s. Unfortunately, the bad kind of 80s.
Ripping off X-Files (aliens stole my sister), Predator (the hunter), a bit of Terminator, a Guyver style alien. I felt like I was back in one of the mediocre McCoy episodes, even down to the theme music. She even made her screwdriver in true A-Team style, using just bits and bobs like a spoon.
But I've noticed that first episodes are often mediocre, so let's see what happens next..
