Doctor Who: S11x01 – The Woman Who Fell To Earth

Hey Guys,
finally the new season of Doctor Who started. This time everything is new – new Companions, new Writer and new Doctor.
People who follow me might know that I wasn’t that happy with the Doctor being a woman. For many reason and one big reason was Missy. She was an amazing actor but not the Master and I hated that they call her Missy and not Master. That are just a few points.
But I love Jodie as the Doctor. She makes a great job and definitely feels from the start like the Doctor. Soo… how was the first episode?

Team? Fam?

The new characters are great. This time around we have three companions and I am really happy about it. I missed the crowdy TARDIS. They companions know each other. We have Ryan. He is a young man and really not happy with is life and job. He and Yasmin were going to school together. Yasim is working at the police and wants to help people. The last one is Graham the second husband of Ryans Gran.
Ryan and Graham doesn’t seem to have the best relationship.

The Hunt is starting

Okay. The story itself is not so great. Ryan touch symbols that appear in the air and then the alien comes to earth for the hunt. The story isn’t very original. I found it even a little bit boring.
But the chemistry between the characters made definitely up for the plot. The Doctor needs to arrive in is own body. We need to get to know the characters and that is what the episode is doing really good. You got a good feeling who the doctor is now and who the characters are.

Unpopular opinion – spoilers

I know that many people had a problem with a certain death in the end. She was a great character. You just had to love her. Her death was totally unnecessary for the story.
But I am really ‘happy’ about it. The first episode should give us a feeling for what is coming this season.
This death in the first episode made it very clear how different this season of Doctor Who will be. The Doctor tries his best and to save everyone but you can’t. People are going to die. You can’t save everyone not even when you are the Doctor. Every decision you made has consequences and there is no big red button to undo stuff, there are no second tries, there is no coming back from the death.
It is just life. It is hard and unfair and like really life death is really unnecessary but it still happens.

High Expectations

Even when the story itself wasn’t a masterpiece. Everything around it was amazing. An amazing Doctor who stops seeing himself as the savior. She is just a traveler. A crowdy TARDIS with really interesting characters and finally real life again.
And the best thing is for now it doesn’t seems like there is an overall storyline. Love to be back to single adventures that doesn’t mean we need to save the earth.
So yeah. I have totally wrong with my fears about a female Doctor. Jodie is definitely a great thirteen Doctor.

See ya at the next episode.
