I was a more than a little looking forward to the new Dr. Who season starting yesterday...because, well, in case you did not hear....the new Dr. Who...is a woman!! (As a side note, I am kinda not sure WHY it took this long for a Doctor to be female, you know, since we are more than half the population, etc...but, I also did not think people would elect a sexual predator to office(s)...anyWHO...)

The episode was pretty standard, the inevitable Dr. Who regeneration scramble, where the new Dr. is still having to figure out what has happened/who or what Dr. she is etc.  I have seen these transitions before...and sometimes they are clumsy--10 to 11 was way over the top wacky and strange...and I have seen them be manic...11 to 12 was better, but he was waaay manic "oh, a dinosaur!!!"...this time, this time...it was just right.  Kinda like it was from 9 to 10.  Which is a good omen.  (Especially if you know that David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker have worked together). 

I liked the episode a lot, I liked her subtle reads and I liked her care for the people around her.  They got the 13th Doctor off and running, creating devices, thinking through the problems, etc.  And the companions...they were a great compliment of people.  I am actually looking forward to the next episode...I hope she continues to create a wonderful Dr. Who!

Here is a more comprehensive review.
