Hello girl scouts! I wanted to start doing a new thing for my reactions going forward which is going to be called: “Pinned Comment Post Post Ramblings from Future Shayla” - There’s so much to Doctor Who and I always end up seeing things or having thoughts post edit so I figured why not add it in, just in text form. For episode one I don’t have too many post post ramblings I don’t think. Next episode though, I’ve got a few. Anyway, go and do the thing, you know the one. Oh! Also I have had zero copyright issues and I waited a few days before publishing so if this video goes down I will do my best to get it back ASAP, thank you for your potential patience.

Yeah it was weird, but RTD’s openers always are. Partners in Crime with the adipose, Rose with plastic Mickey and the burping bin, Smith and Jones with the Judoon Platoon on the Moon and the old women who drank people’s blood with a straw. I think it’s a test to show people just how nuts it can get. If they vibe with the episode, they’re good to watch the series. I was so preoccupied with how crazy the episode was, it didn’t occur to me until afterwards just how comfortable I was with 15 and Ruby already. I’m totally sold on them.

I’m really enjoying this Doctor so far. Ncuti has such an energy that he brings to the character that is very compelling to watch. Honestly though, my favorite thing about this season so far is the fact that Murray Gold is back. I heard hints of David Tennant’s theme during this episode, and when the Doctor was deciding whether to save the Bogeyman, I heard Peter Capaldi’s theme, which hit me right in the emotions since Capaldi is my favorite Doctor (and it was perfect to use while the Doctor was making this decision). I liked the music during Jodie Whitaker’s era, particularly her theme, but by switching composers I always felt that her era lost that musical language that tied all of the other Doctors together, and so I’m glad that Murray Gold is back to continue that musical thread with Ncuti Gatwa.

random rambles. ya, we do that too. I think the Doctor could go back to that road if he just timed it to right after his last visit... But, maybe there is more to time jumps than just "Pop! You're there!" Maybe it leaves some echoes in time, before & after a jump, that the TARDIS from his first jump would tell him about and mess up his own timeline? Or, maybe he just doesn't want to risk messing up her past again. The whole, step-on-a-butterfly thing 😛

Back again (YAY!)...3:03 Another SCARY monster...5:45...okay, it's the Boogeyman, huh...8:34 the reality and instant mortification kick in!!!! 😆🤣😆 Okay, all kidding aside, it's GREAT to be back into a fresh series, whether it's Disney Season One, Series 14, Overall Season 40, or whatever! Clearly another "jump on" point for the newly established viewers, so the general backstory is necessary. Also in the story, though passed over in the editing process, there are a few callbacks to S11 x 02 ("The Beast Below"): The Doctor and Ruby having a moment looking out at the space scape, much like 11 and Amy did...the creature that is thought to be the last (or only) one of its kind (Star Whale and Boogeyman)...Ruby covered in "stuff" much like...well, you get the picture. As far as your QOTD goes, I have a couple of juicy theories about Ruby, both of which in a roundabout way linking her as a DIRECT relative of the Doctor. It's just a question of who I think Mrs. Flood is....either another incarnation of River or Jenny, from S10x06 ("The Doctor's Daughter"). It's a theory I had from the Christmas episode that I wanted to revisit. Looking forward and onward to the next episode!

I think they had more variety in Classic Who. Susan and Ramona were Time Lords. They had humans from other eras, K-9 and I think there was an android. The closest we’ve gotten to was Nardole. I wasn’t quite sure what he was. Android? Cyborg? Alien?

Always love your reactions, Shayla! I admit, I have mixed feelings about this episode. It had its moments, but the pacing felt off; like the story needed a bit more room to breathe. And I'll be honest: watching your reactions, seeing it through your eyes... it's hard to say anything negative about the episode - your enthusiasm is infectious! Hm, I don't really know _what_ I think about Ruby's origins, yet. Her being alien/other-worldly seems fairly likely at this point, but it's too early for me to commit to a theory yet!

Well, the "Bogey" element in "Bogeyman" is actually a dialectal variant of "bugge", a Middle-English word for 'malevolent ghost/spirit'. Like the 'malevolent spirits' that bite you and cause rashes while you sleep, the 'bed-bugge' -- whence the modern 'bug' meaning 'insect'.

I'm glad your having a great time with this episode for me I thought it was a pile of crap but that's just my opinion I don't like the Doctor being too open with his companions because it removes the alien out of his character and make him too humanised I love weird episodes but this one was just too juvenile.

What makes me laugh but also seriously vexed at same time is already with these haters just 2 episodes in is they slagging the show off to the hilt but Ncuti also referencing him in terms like black gay doctor. These scum only show themselves up to be who they really are and why their pre determined hate agenda invalidates every single word they have to say. Yes l massively disliked the Chibnall and Jodie era though...all that was more fault on Chibnall than Jodie. But, these 2 Ncuti and young woman playing Ruby ( brain drain moment forgot her name), are flipping cute super chemistry between them and super talented, they deserve praise for it not the bull these haters with their own agenda have already heaped on them.

we are divided in two sides: Who liked it Who doesn't... i feel like this new season is more like a politically correct lesson about lgbtq+(premium etc), race etc than actually Doctor Who about exploring and solving problems without thinking too much about what is the actual world... and i feel it weird and wrong... good narrative? first doctor say something sexist, 10th correct him showing the character development. bad narrative? the 14th talking, a random girl say something about the pronouns and he agree and add those randomly... Worse narrative? everything is about skin color and sexuality... he is the doctor, mostly asexual and mostly dumb about human things... also he change dresses too much and that way less iconic than the other doctors...
