This is the first time I think Jodie has felt like the Doctor. I think it's the first time I've actually been excited and intrigued by Doctor Who in ages. It isn't perfect but it does some things right.
This proves that the companions are really bringing this show down. Chibnall cannot handle that many characters without them all becoming one dimensional. The companions are one dimensional and boring. The Doctor was left alone for what seems the first time. Her scenes with various historical figures, and especially the master were the first time Jodie has ever felt like the Doctor. She definitely had some moments that made me roll my eyes, but the plot is making her an actual character instead of a tool for stories. I hope it continues in this vain.
I don't like getting into the whole political aspect but it seems the show's go to thing for men in the past is to make a sexist comment. I mean why does it have to happen everytime? It gets boring.
The Master is great. I kinda hope this master stays around for multiple doctors... And showrunners....
The companion side plot is so boring. They have no personality. They're all comedic relief or just boring (Yaz).
The plot is weak here. Chibnall isn't good at writing sci Fi doctor who stories. The plot threads never really tie together satisfyingly. Like the Kasavan? Who cares. It was really poor.
The Gallifrey stuff. This stuff was good. It's the first genuinely emotional scene Jodie has given and the Master was fantastic here too. I'm very intrigued but I am also apprehensive. Chibnall has to land this storyline. It has to be impactful and not a cop out, but it also can't undo the history of the show. I honestly don't think Chibnall is capable. Here's hoping.
