"The Woman Who Fell to Earth" Discussion

Jessica and Phillip jump into the Thirteenth Doctor's first episode with their "new best friend" Sue. The trio look at the newly regenerated Doctor, and her "fam" of Ryan, Graham, Grace, and Yaz. From a tooth-y monster to a sad and surprising ending, this episode sets the course for this new series of "Doctor Who."

In their look into the TARDIS library, Jessica and Phillip examine "Doctor Who: The Women Who Lived: Amazing Tales for Future Time Lords" by Christel Dee & Simon Guerrier. This book features all of the women characters from Susan Foreman to Jodie Whittaker's Doctor.

What was the most memorable part of Whittaker's first episode?

I enjoyed the first episode. I am a huge lover of sci-fi and time travel TV and Movies, so although it didn't fully feel like Doctor Who to me, I enjoyed it. I think the lack of an opening credit scene is what made it feel a little disjointed, but overall it was good. I agree about the story line being a little lackluster, but it couldn't outshine getting to know the Doctor and the new fam.

I watched off and on the 4th doctor when it came on in the 80s on PBS, but never watched a lot of classic Who. I have seen the first 4 episodes of the 1st Doctor, but haven't missed an episode since the 9th Doctor. At some point I will fill in the gaps. But have been enjoying your show from the beginning. Keep up the great work.
