It was a solid start, but the ending cheesed me off.

not the actual ending, but coming soon.

They showed off actors and honestly not an alien to be found.

They would have had me dead to rights if they would have slipped in somebody like "Strax" in with the rest of actors.

I think she did a better job than the 10th doctor in the simple fact she didn't sabotage the golden age of mankind.

The premise of the search for the tardis gives it a new spin and I seriously hope they don't return to modern United Kingdom for a bit. I want to see alien worlds dag nab it.

Obviously whoever wrote it has read the following webcomic

I absolutely loved the pocket references. :)

I know switching attire is customary, but I think she'd pulled off Capaldi's look better then what she went with, but again, we will see.

But yeah very much doctor who and I'm liking the supporting cast.

If they actually add some alien diversity (or hell, add f-9, a robotic cat to the cast), I think I will enjoy this immensely.

One last thing

One of these days I'd love to see a hunting human prey episode that ends with them playing battleship and abiding with the results. :D

Graham remains my favorite companion, maybe ever. He just rules.

In a perfect world, we'd have him and Wilf stuck on the Tardis at the same time trying to get home. :p

I think the spider thing was supposed to be spooky.

Also, this episode seems like the Doctor and crew being there had no effect. If they didn't show up, this episode would have ended the same way.

It's a pity that the third act of that episode fell apart hard, as it doesn't make an iota of sense, which really undermines the first two acts.

The crowded but friendly dynamic of the TARDIS crew is one of the issues, yeah. It worked with Barbara, Ian and Susan, because there was that conflict between themselves and the Doctor - with Susan being a go-between - which even when they resolved it there was still a different dynamic at work. It can work, they just need to rejig it a bit for the current crew.

As is it, Yaz is basically the Nyssa of the crew - she's present and useful, but basically given no focus because they don't really know what to do with her. Even more so when the focus has been primarily the relationship between Graham and Ryan over Grace's death - which she's distanced from. And even when the episode is supposed to focus on Yaz it tends to be about her family more than her.

I just hope in the next series they do something more with her. :shrug:

Unrelated, the Series 11 soundtrack is coming out the 11th of this month :toot:

The answer is simple.

Brings Yaz's mom next season. She's currently unemployed and she could use the change of pace. :p
