trick or treat
It feels so good to have Doctor Who back on TV.
Have a stream-of-conscious review.
I already really wanted The Adventures Of Thirteen And Yaz but that opening scene really made me want The Adventures Of Thirteen And Yaz. Also, Ace Shoutout! Thirteen imitating Twelve and Seven! Just kick me in the heart, damn.
"What's the point of being alive if it's not to make others happy?" Okay, I like Dan already.
There's already a lot of different strands going on here, I'm curious to see where we're going. What's happening to the TARDIS?
Anyone else find Karvanista kind of charming? Yes, he smashed into Dan's house and tried to mindcontrol him, but also, kind of pathetically charming. "What did you call me?!" "Never talk of my mother."
I was sitting there wondering why Dan had such a nice laptop when he apparently can't afford food and then the Doctor and Yaz wondered the same thing and came to an immediate conclusion. They're such a good team.
That's a looot of alien ships.
Well, that's one way to handle a . . . warning? I don't know exactly what happened in that scene.
"You've gone to a lot of trouble to kidnap someone completely irrelevant." Good job, Dan! Thinking quick on your feet.
Claire! Out-of-order meetings! I love out-of-order meetings!
"You know what, Yaz? I don't mention everything."
"No kidding."
Yaz is running out of patience. >.>
WEEPING ANGEL. And Claire knows exactly what it is?? HOW. CLAIRE TELL ME YOUR STORY.
"Nothing has changed. Nothing ever changed. But then, you know that."
I also immediately like Vinder. "You can all go to hell."
Guess Jón shouldn't have agreed to ignore that warning.
"Does that make sense to you, Yaz? No, not really, Doctor."
So the Doctor is definitely investigating the Division that the Fugitive Doctor worked for, right?
Aw, Yaz and Dan already have a nice banter.
"Assuming nothing goes wrong."
"Why? Do things often go wrong?"
"...come on."
Every Lupar has a designated human. "Just because I have to save him doesn't mean I have to like him!" WTF why am I laughing so hard. (Also Division theory CONFIRMED.)
There is just SO MUCH going on.
Poor Vinder.
"I had a mate who had one of these, I think his was a bit bigger actually."
I really wanted Thirteen and Yaz to travel alone for a while but I REALLY like Dan.
AND NOW SONTARANS. "You look . . . disgusting."
CLOISTER BELL.
"They were so efficient. There is not a tiny corner of you that remembers."
"Remembers what?"
"You and I . . . dancing across space and time . . . locked in combat."
Mm, percussive maintenance.
Oh, no, Diane, don't do it.
"Flux, meet Vortex energy, see what that does to you! ...not much, looks like. The end of the universe. Always wondered what that would look like."
Well, that's a definite cliffhanger. D:
(I mean, obviously they'll get out of the immediate situation, there's several episodes to go, but DAMN.)
What a way to start a season!
