One of the best season openers in a while
This season wastes no time cutting straight to the chase laying out threads for the season arc and painting a compelling mystery. The tone is audacious and clearly RTD and the actors had a lot of fun with and it translates to the audience. Is the pacing at points really choppy? Yeah but it makes up for that short fall with a bonkers story and a great new companion. Fan theories are already coming to light and it will be intresting to see if RTD learned from his mistakes with last season delivering on the theories hes creating and using less red herrings. Belinda makes for a really fun character and she feels natural nothing feels forced and the bond between her and the doctor is an intresting juxstaposition with that of the doctor and rub. In short this episode might be a bit too zany for some but if you sit back and enjoy the ride you'll have a great time. Also that cliff hanger was brilliant.
