Doctor Who Series 11 |OT|- She’s Here, and It’s About Time
- Thread starter Dwebble
- Start date
I missed it in the UK because the iPlayer Watch Live service where I was buffered so badly it completely lost audiovisual synchronization. But spoil away. I love trying to piece episodes together from live commentary, it just increases my excitement.
Try accessing bbc.co.uk from outside the UK and see sees how littered with ads it is.
I don't keep up with current UK drama much but I only recognised a few.
Cinematography was nice.
That's about it as far as positives for me, but it is a first episode and they tend to be so-so.

Overall it was ok. Most moff era season openers have been pants though, so this is probably the best opener since eleventh hour (though nowhere near as good as that)
Loved sitting and watching this with the kids. Was ol, like every time will need a while to settle in and for us to get our bearings.
Was ok-ish, not bad, not great. Felt it started off better than it ended.
The teeth thing was silly.

I really enjoyed that. I thought Jodie did a great job, honestly i am hoping that the three companions stick around for next season.
Because honestly i feel like they need more then 10 episodes to really flesh out the group dynamic
Slower-paced, less manic drama.
Smaller-scale alien threat that doesn't endanger the whole planet.
Things the Doctor doesn't immediately recognise.
People actually dying.
The Doctor jury-rigging technology instead of just sonicing everything.
Honestly, it's like Chris Chibnall read my series wish list.

Really enjoyed it.
It was paced really well, the characters were fun folk.
Previous NUWho series often seemed to rush through stuff, but I liked that it was more slow.
Cinematography and art design was excellent.
Jodie is very good, I got Troughton vibes for sure.
It looked greaaaat.

Was pretty good, Whittaker was great, the story isn't the best and I certainly cringed at how many people ran at the 'predator' and just died.
That was amazing.
Praise Chibnall!
Really enjoyed that episode. The teeth thing was silly but it's Doctor Who, it's supposed to be a bit silly.
LOVE the new companions and LOVE Jodie. I teared up a little bit near the end.
I cannot wait for the next one. What a cliffhanger lol.
The new titles and theme looked and sounded great. Fit's the new tone. I wonder what the new tardis interior is going to look like?

Anyone else hoping that the core four stick around for more than one season (i feel like a 2-3 season run for the companions would work well)
I enjoyed that. Whittaker's Doctor reminds me a bit of Matt Smith's quirkier, bit more alien Doctor so I'm looking forward to seeing more from her. I kept expecting a surprise character during that list at the end that we would recognise. I do hope we still get one somewhere down the line.
"I like this grandmother. She's not on the promotional signs, so I hope she's going to be a recurring character like Jackie. She's going to fucking die, isn't she?"
Loved it. Jodie is a perfect fit for the role and I like our new companions - especially Bradders!
Cinematography was gorgeous and the whole show just felt a bit more "mature" while still holding onto that Doctor Who cheesiness. Chibnall's Broadchurch pedigree shining through.

I also liked that it had a very Filmic look to it.
Jodie Whittaker - great

Tim Shaw The Tooth Fairy Predator was very unusal lol, I liked him in his Armour and the design of the Teeth as trophies making up his face was creepy not bad but could have done without the Teeth thing lmao, also the Spaghetti cable monster or ball of elastics was Silly and yet perfect as a homage to the campy monsters of Classic Who
The next episode will almost definitely end with them leaving in the TARDIS.
I thought it was an okay episode, nothing special. Starting the series off with "y'all have seen Predator, right?" is a bit lazy tbh. But Whittaker herself was fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing her as the Doctor in a better episode.
Yeah, I agree with all of this. I hope this episode is really indicative of the tone and pace of the rest of the series.
I really like the new direction. Excellent cinematography and very atmospheric. However I thought it had a rather bland script, and it certainly didn't come close to anything like The Eleventh Hour for me. I fully expected this but it does make me fear this is about the best I can expect from Chibnall's writing. And that certainly doesn't make me feel like it justified that we're only getting 10 episodes.
Also, errr, I'm surprisingly conflicted on Jodie's performance, I really expected to adore her take on the Doctor from the start. Like, there were moments there where I thought her delivery just felt a little... flat? Here's hoping she grows on me but her performance actually felt a bit weak to me here... Damn.
And when it comes to the companions, or friends as we're calling them now, I'm a bit worried about the size of the team. Usually the opener does a good job of selling the companion to me, but I'm feeling no attachment here. Yasmin Khan especially felt really underdeveloped...
Anyway, I still like it well enough? I mean, I'm sure there are going to be other episodes that'll be more to my liking.

Yeah seeing as I'm 35 hrs into DQXI then I saw the slime. Anyway probably as good a regeneration episode since 11th hr though not as good. Better than Rose and Christmas invasion.
Easily the best Who Chibnall has done.
Jodie was brilliant and that bit on the crane convinced me she is gonna do bloody great in the role.
I'm reading the delight at the spoon as a 7th Dr nod.
Bradley Walsh can actually act. Who knew.
Music was very decent and markedly different to anything Murray did and the new theme at the end is the most similar it's been to the original for decades
It was really good if a tad slow on occasion. I just hope the yutes loved it.
