Dr Who S10 E01 "The Pilot" - ❤❤❤

[nenya_kanadka]

Mucca woke me up with this this morning. (The last time she did that was with astoundingly hot clips of Gregory Peck. I appreciate her attention to quality material.)

I loved it. I love Bill! I love what the Doctor's doing with himself at the start of this episode. Nardole's still a sweetie. And Bill is seriously the best. Did I say that already? I love how she logics things through carefully instead of leaping to conclusions she wouldn't have data for. I love the whole thing with the girl. (Bill's going to fall adorably in love with like three separate space princesses this season, right? Make it happen, Moff.) And the pictures, awww my heart. ❤❤❤

Anyway. This one definitely fit my criteria of "silly adventures with heart" for a good Dr Who outing. Moar plz.

(And Missy returns sometime soon! Yesss.)

It was great fun! I liked the distinct madcap feel of the whole episode. celebestel was kind of freaked out by the realism of the 'dead' makeup, so I guess that's a positive?

(I keep seeing all over the internet the question 'why is Nardole there? Why's he hanging out with the Doctor?' Uh, he's a companion, that's what they do...)

He can have more than one companion at a time! They're not always young girls either! (I know, this confused me when I was new to Who too, because fandom osmosis. But Nardole being there's not especially weird really.) Maybe some people missed the latest Christmas special, or didn't pick up that he'd been in the Husbands of River Song as well?

Anyway I quite like Nardole.

I'm gleeful about Doctor Who in a way I haven't been in a while. It's such fun when it's fun. :D

Though I must say seeing this episode and then immediately going to take a shower had me a bit O.o for a moment as the water began to run... 😂

(Tangentially, I'm also pleased that if anybody's going to fall in love with the Doctor this time, it will have to be the guy companion. Or the Master, but that's not new news--though I am holding out for some Simm/Twelve *something*, if the former is gonna show up again.)
