Okay so I am sad that The Doctor is regenerating this season. I LOVE Capaldi as The Doctor. I know there has been a lot of criticisim but I truthfully think people are being excessively hard on the show, the actors, and the writers. Just freaking enjoy what we have people!
And really if you stop and look he is fantastic! I'm always leery of new companions but I like to give them a shot. I don't think there really has been one I hated or disliked. They are all great in their own way. Moving on, I think my favorite part of Capaldi as The Doctor is they are staying away from the whole in love with the doctor thing. Not that he isn't attractive but 9/10/11 was a love story...or multiple love stories and while I adored them, it took away from the fun that is Doctor Who. He is an alien who travels in time and space. Of course he has feelings but lets go on an adventure and forget about the sexual tension for a bit.
So we got to meet Bill in the season premier. And I like her quite a bit. She is funny and smart and cute and I dunno she's fun! She had some great one liners and her repertoire with 12 seems like the beginning of a BEAUTIFUL friendship. I feel like we are going to be cut short with him regenerating...I hope she sticks around.
My only concern is the feels. My feeeeeeeels during the season premier were off the charts...if this is going to happen the whole season I am going to be an emotional mess!
Why you may ask? Well for one he is HIDING on Earth as a professor (nice). His office has pictures of RIVER and SUSAN on his desk...what?!?! Knife to the heart! Then Bill doesn't know much of her mother and she tells the Doctor. Miraculously she goes home and a long lost box of pictures appears. He went back in time and took pictures of her Mum and left them for her!!!!!!! They go on an adventure, yay! And Bill get to experience like everything in on e episode. Travel across the Earth, travel in time, travel in space, see a Dalek. Then...then!!!! Then we get to the end and he doesn't want to travel. He wants to wipe her memories and make her forget it all. Then she fights back and says something like "how would you feel if someone did the to you" and f**king Clara's theme starts playing. SERIOUSLY!?!?!!?!? Then he says fine, go and she runs. Then looks at the pic of Susan and says shut up, then at River and says shut up, then the T.A.R.D.I.S. chimes in and its hilarious to me.
So he asks her to travel with him and I am so excited! But if this many feels were had in Episode 1...I may need to Wine it up for the rest of the season!!!!
