Now that's a cliffhanger!
There were quite a few similar moments throughout with welcome surprises I was not expecting. Ace and Tegan were my era, so I loved this. There were a couple of points where character's seemed to be complaining about Chibnall's writing outloud with characters saying things like "Will you just get to the point, stop grandstanding and explain what the hells going on" to The Master. I've never been a fan of the way nu-who portrays The Master like Ledger's unhinged manic Joker (I liked the old moustache twirling Master) but Sacha Dhawan's performance here was so damn good. The bit where he's cackling about "'The Master's Dalek Plan', or er, 'The Dalek Master's Plan'" was fun.
Did I look away for 30-seconds and miss 17 pieces of script exposition, or did Graham just appear in a volcano for no reason?
Graham was investigating the magnetic disturbances as presumably he and Ryan have been doing as they said they would and going around Earth acting to right the wrongs and fix problems like they did while companions.
Ooh this is exciting to me. Just start at 9 and blow through, many fans get grumpy over stuff you probably won't care about. You'll quickly make up your mind about what you like and don't. The first episode has some corniness and shows its age and budget but introduces a lot including the main characters for the first few seasons of the "new" show and I think it does it well. Let me know when you get to "The Empty Child"!I now own all of doctors 9-12 on dvd. Never really watched the show before. Any advice going in, episodes to skip, best place to start, etc?
everyone's goingto have a different opinion. I personally can't stand the episodes that feature Danny Pink and I don't consider the 13th Doctor's run to be true doctor who due to the Showrunner. Which is a shame because I was looking forward to seeing Jodie as the Doctor.I now own all of doctors 9-12 on dvd. Never really watched the show before.
