[reaction] Doctor Who 13 Chapter 1 - The Halloween Apocalypse

- I really really like this first episode, this chapter 1, and its around 50 minutes and the pacing was amazing! Sure there were a lot of threads going on but I was enjoying every single one!

- The Weeping Angels are legit scary again, seriously, I feel like Chibnall should write horror/thriller, he has such a deft hand for it! The house with poor Diane near the end? CREEPY.

- Dog soulmate aliens coming to Humanity’s aid! Amazing.

- Sontarans are ugly again, huzzah! Still funny but also can be intimidating!

- Swarm being creepy, the twist with his sister! Who may or may not be the true big bad!

- The Master is so not going to be happy if he learns about Swarm!

- YAZ!

- Yaz and Thirteen’s relationship! I love how in sync they both are but now that there’s no distractions and buffer by the way of Graham and Ryan, Thirteen can’t squirm her way out of uncomfortable topics.

But I also appreciate that Thirteen’s dropped her Pleasant Travel Tour Host guide personality she used to keep the fam at arms length. Something not as easy to do with only two people aboard.

- I liked Dan! Like, I was neutral to him but I legit like him and much faster than I liked Graham! I didn’t expect that.

- And Vinder! The moment he was on screen I was charmed!

- Thirteen still doggedly searching for the Division, and there seems to still be Division agents scattered around just not revealing themselves to the Doctor, I hope this means that there’s still remnant and refugee Gallifreyans around.

- I do love how despite destroying Gallifrey, Chibnall era does seem to be engaging with Gallifrey or the absence of Gallifrey. Because my headcanon is, destroying Gallifrey via particle bomb loosened the structures that kept certain destructive beings at bay.

- Who is Clare in this?

- The two division agents were definitely Gallifreyan! Or at least recruited into the Gallifreyan Division! Just look at the guns that’s similar to Gat’s/Ruth’s demat gun!

the writing above there looks like degraded gallifreyan writing.

- The way the camera zooms into Thirteen’s eye and then to watching billions die and it’s so reminiscent of in Star Wars when Obi-Wan feeling ‘billions of voices silenced’.

- Also the Cloister Bell! We haven’t heard the Cloister Bell in a few seasons now, I felt that Moffat used the Cloister a little too much and so using the Cloister now after all these years!

- The use of the Vortex Energy! From series 1 we know how powerful this is and to have it essentially ineffective to the Flux? DISTURBING! 

- The use of ‘the long way ‘round’, the call backs to Nine’s era, the Twelve and Seven accents. I love the homages to the previous era!

I can’t wait for the next chapter!

… can you imagine how graham would react if his own personal assigned dog alien arrived to kidnap him to save his life????

Aksjdgskhdjshdjdjsjjdhdkshd 😂😭

Can’t get over the magic space warrior puppies that watch over humanity and have a designated human that they must protect at all costs. Doctor Who keeps delivering

Lmao it does indeed

why have soulmates when you could have soul... DOGS?
