Comments: A woman scoops two of the companions out of outer space. The other two are scooped up by a man in a space ship. The action is fast and exciting. The alien space ships are so cool and the alien planet is wonderfully alien.
The crash landing is thrilling. Than the adventure begins. Two aliens are in a race and the Dr. and her companions show up to go along for the ride.
This Dr. is cute and fun plus someone you want to believe in. The planet Desolation is a dangerous place. You would be glad to haver the Dr. with you. Her confidence comes through. She is inquisitive as to the whys and whats of this alien planet.
This Dr. is impressive. She makes good use of her sonic screwdriver.
The planet is full of mysterious things.
The Dr. yes she gets what she needs. The Tardis may be old but it is entirely new. This is so fun. The Dr. in her Tardis and her companions is done just right.
The little changes to the show are perfect to show this is a new Dr. The Tardis redesign is spectacular. This is everything you could want in a Doctor Who episode.
The Doctor is here!

Comments: This episode starts off showing racial hatred.
Rosa Parks is shown as a strong woman. The Doctor and her companions find there is another time traveler.
The way people treated others just because of the color of their skin in sickening. Unfortunately it did really all happen. Rosa Parks is inspirational.
Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks two greats. These two did so much.
The Dr. and her friends do put a plan in motion and it is fun to watch them as they operate. The companions are used as much as the Dr.
As you watch Rosa Parks you can feel the history unfolding. This woman is portrayed here just as she was meant to be. She is only a woman but what she does inspires so many to push for equality.
Rosa Parks words can not describe her. This episode shows her beautifully. The Dr. seems in awe of her as should anyone be.
Vinette Robinson gives a stunning performance as Rosa Parks.
The music accompanying this episode is perfectly matched to it. You can just feel the history here.

Comments: Very suspenseful opening and than we see a man who you will hate immediately.
This Dr. does seem more needy. As if she could survive without any companions but does not want to.
We get to see Yaz's family. Her mom is shown as a quiet person. Poor Graham misses his wife. The Dr. has a mystery and adventure going on in Yorkshire. The spiders are aggressive and growing.
The Dr. is in charge because she should be. She does not push it it just happens. She has a plan and a good one. Of course things never go according to plan. That one man from the start of the episode you will grow to hate him even more. Plus you will feel sorry for the spiders.
The companions make a choice they could stay home and live out their lives peacefully or they could face danger and excitement at every turn not knowing what will come next. They pick the Dr. and what comes next only the next episode will tell.

Comments: The Dr. and her companions wake up in a medical facility. She is woosy and just the way things are going you can tell something is off. As they look for a way out of this hospital/spaceship they meet all kinds of interesting people.
The suspense build up is great. The danger comes fast. It is a mystery to start and that makes it seem even more dangerous. The creature when you see it is a surprise and it is very evil in appearance and attitude. It appears to be some type of gremlin.
We learn more about the companions especially Ryan. This is a nice touch to the episode.
The Dr. is working with all those around her. More than past Dr.'s have. The Dr. just keeps moving and thinking she never stops when faced with a problem.
Listening to the Dr. as she talks is so much fun.
Here in this episode you are shown hope. No matter what happens there is always hope. Dr. Who is a show about that giving hope to those without it.

Comments: 1947 Pakistan. Yaz gets to go back in time to meet her Gran when she was younger. It is fun the way it is set up with the Doctor agreeing to take her there. As soon as they arrive something starts happening.
Aliens are about and excitement starts. Why are these alien assassins on Earth and at this time?
Yaz is presented with a mystery of her Gran. Things are not what they seem.
A wedding is in the making with two people in love. People can love even with hate all around them. A person's religion should not determine whether they can be in love with someone. Two people with two totally different religious views can view each other with love.
Hatred causes so much trouble were love creates happiness. Hate for someone who is different in some way. This is always wrong and causes so much grief. The emotions are brought out here in this episode.
Such a powerful episode filled with love and hope.
The Doctor is in each episode yet in these ones in this season in this one she is not the central focus. The companions and the characters in the time line of each episode are as much the stars as the Doctor.

Comments: The Doctor gets a delivery from Kerblam! Which of course is the start of an adventure.
Kerblam is like a super huge Amazon. Here though robots are used a lot. The robots are like Big Brother watching over the people. The Doctor and her companions are looking for someone to help. The Doctor does get right to it.
The little work place romance is cute.
As the show progresses it becomes obvious the robots are more than they appear to be. They do monitor the business plant. Something much more than the running of this plant is going on.
One person is behind it all. Here it is the computer fighting the person. Its machine vs man and who wins well not necessarily who you might think. The supporting characters do play a nice role in the overall story.
The Doctor's way of handling this is unique and yes bubble wrap is involved. This episode is a fun adventure with robots and danger.

Comments: This episode has witch hunts.
The period costumes look amazing they are so well done. The Doctor and her companions do take a stroll around the town just taking everything in. People ordinary people were falsely accused of being witches.
An alien zombie is done in a cool manner here. Which turns into alien zombies as a graveyard raises up. Sci-fi and horror blend together nicely.
The Doctor finds herself accused of being a witch. An agent of Satan. King James is stubborn as he stands up to fight evil.
The main accuser is suffering. King James finds himself in way over his head. The Doctor have a plan and looks good in a hat.
It is nice to see the Doctor fighting aliens based on Earth's magical creatures of legend. The episode is laid back. Nothing gets to serious. The Doctor does inspire another to become a healing doctor. The Doctor inspires others to be more than they were, to become a better person. This is a great thing to accomplish over and over.

Comments: The Doctor and her Companions find themselves in 2018 Norway. Right away you know something is up.
Hanne played by Ellie Wallwork is a blind girl. Ellie is really blind in real life. As Hanne she does deliver a wonderful performance.
In a cottage the Doctor finds the unusual. She also finds much more a monster and so much more. The flesh moths are a threatening threat. Plus the other world in this story has things to lure you in.
The Doctor being scared is enough to make anyone scared. The enemy uses the things closest to others to pull them in. The Doctor does face a being unlike any she has faced before in her long life. How she saves the day and herself here is using her intelligence and her words not her fists or a blasting sonic screwdriver.
This episode does focus on love and how it can be used against us and also that it is a powerful force. More powerful than even survival.
The Doctor is a character who you want to trust as soon as you see her. Jodie Whittaker does bring out the best in this alien with two hearts.

Comments: The Doctor and her companions go to a alien planet with a distress call coming from it. The Doctor does find a adventure awaiting and of course trouble as a man there is in need of help. The Doctor starts getting answers and more questions to.
There may be a problem between Graham and the Doctor. We do see more tech used in this episode by the Doctor. Also Cyborbots show up. As the show continues on you do find out more and more. There is always something happening to keep you focused on the show.
The villain picks a personal target for the Doctor one that is sure to cause her emotional stress. What is being done awes even the Doctor. The action is amped up and out of this world. The Doctor may seem unsure but at the same time you know she knows exactly what she is doing.
The Doctor is showcased more than her companions in this episode which is best as she is the star of the show. The actress Jodie Whittaker does a wonderful job portraying the Doctor in this latest regeneration.
The Doctor's last words as she leaves the alien planet are inspiring. Doctor Who will inspire you.
