Jodie Whittaker IS the Thirteenth Doctor

[palitoy]

The inside looks like one of those Himalayan Salt Lamps.

That's what it is, I don't mind all that but the console doesn't work for me, another played out steampunk thing. I had hoped to see the end of that.

Pretty good episode though, it's growing on me.

Jury's still out on the tardis.

Yeah, it's a bit ...whimsical. Although I've never really been that sold on any of the modern Tardis interiors, the Capaldi one was probably my favourite.

[toothaction]

Well that was a fun little romp! Nothing spectacular, but enjoyable the way through. I'm liking the new crew, and the theme is the best since the first revamp in the '70s. Jury's still out on the tardis.

I don't know what to think of the new Tardis interior BUT the new title sequence and theme totally work for me.

[Bruce Banner]

Not a bad episode tonight.
I'm warming to Jodie's portrayal.
I quite like the new interior of the TARDIS.

Yeah, if i had to rank it, I'd say it was the second best of the modern era. I'm fond of "The Eleventh Hour".

I'll go all in and say that I think the only two great regeneration stories were "The Eleventh Hour" and "Spearhead from Space." But I agree with some of the other comments that "The Woman Who Fell to Earth" was just OK and probably (hopefully) not an indication of the stories to come.

But I've noticed that first episodes are often mediocre, so let's see what happens next.

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.

Insult to injury? They literally didn't play the credits, just cut to more commercials the moment the story was over. Ugh, we didn't even get to hear the new theme music!

Phew! I feel much better now.

[jwyblejr]

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 doctor

Soooooooo........what was Martha? Or Mickey?

[johnnystorm]

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).

I could clearly understand all the dialog, which was great. During the Capaldi series I literally had to turn on closed captioning to figute out what he said at times!
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?

[Bruce Banner]

I hope you all were able to understand the thick northern accents of Sheffield.

And the sonic screwdriver now has "added Sheffield Steel". Best line of the show.
