    I have seen the first couple of episodes. It does not feel like it
    will be my favorite season or Doctor, but I do like it so far. I just hope they did not over-hype it so much that her stint can never live up to it.

    Mike

    ok so far but i think i'll have to get used to her like i did with capaldi... i
    didn't like him at first but after a while it was a bit better... i was probably turned against him because of some of his other characters... some were quite weasely and offputting...

    After watching the first 4 or 5 episodes, I can say that I do like the new Doctor. However, I feel like the stories leave a lot to be desired. With maybe one exception, it feels like they are spending too much time developing the story and then rushing through the resolution and conclusion of it. Maybe they are spending too much time trying to be PC in some of the episodes that they miss fleshing-out the actual storyline?

    SPOILER!!!!

    In the most-recent episode, they spend at least some time trying to figure out why there are spiders at the hotel and at the flats. At first, they assumed the link was the policewoman's mother, who worked at the hotel and lived at the flats. Later, they "determine" it was a hormonal attraction caused by the deceased neighbor and her working at the lab where the spiders originally came from.

    However, that determination (and the previous theory) never do cover why there was also a spider (or had been one) at Graham's house.

    That is sort of an example of what I mean. It is like they have to rush to a determination of a cause of an issue that either leaves it unresolved or that which is otherwise unsatisfying to me as a viewer. I would rather them not have worried about why some of the spiders had ventured out and instead worry about fixing the issue (which the resolution of also felt very rushed compared to the build-up).

    SPOILER #2

    I used to sometimes feel like episodes of the NBC (US) TV show "Timeless" were a rip-off of Dr. Who. However, the Rosa Parks episode of Who felt so much like an episode of "Timeless" I had to keep reminding myself I was not watching that show. My least favorite episode so far. I did like the Rosa character, though, and I think I would have liked the episode more if it was a "Timeless" episode. :)
