Doctor Who: The Woman Who Fell To Earth Review

 


Doctor Who fans we are but a few short days away from Jodie Whittaker's final ever episode of Doctor Who. As such I thought that it would be only fitting to take a look back at her very episode of Doctor Who since it's an episode that I myself haven't seen since it first came out and it was the only fitting tie in review that I could think of and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced the world to a brand new doctor with the episode in question being called simply just "The Woman Who Fell To Earth" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is something has landed in Sheffield and it's up to  Yaz , Ryan , Graham , Grace and freshly regenerated Doctor to work out what it is , what it wants and stop it for good. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episode doing a very good job of introducing a new Doctor all the while still telling a fairly entertaining and engaging story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor , Bradley Walsh as Graham O'Brien and Mandip Gill as Yasmin Khan. Also starring in this episode is Tosin Cole as Ryan Sinclair , Sharon D. Clarke as Grace , Samuel Oatley as Tim Shaw , Johnny Dixon as Karl , Amit Shah as Rahul , Asha Kingsley as Sonia , Janine Mellor as Janey , Asif Khan as Ramesh Sunder , James Thackeray as Andy , Philip Abiodun as Dean , Stephen MacKenna as Dennis and Everal A Walsh as Gabriel.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With all of this episodes cast doing their best to make this episodes script work well enough for them and turn in a good solid performance at the exact same time.


Doing the CGI for not only this episode but I think also for the rest of this series is the legends and the greats that are currently over at DNegTV and Double Negative. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes CGI being alot better then the CGI that we got in Rose in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


What I really thought was an enjoyable aspect of this episode was that we got to see how this Doctor acts post regeneration. Which to me made this version of The Doctor feel more like a strange mixture of Colin Baker's Doctor and Jon Pertwee's Doctor since she has the alieness that was present in Colin Baker's Doctor and yet she would also get involved in alot of the action scenes in this episode which is something that Jon Pertwee's Doctor would do and it's something that would have worked really well for this version of The Doctor in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

One of the things that I really didn't like about this episode and this is an issue that runs through all of the thirteenth doctors run as well but I really didn't like the fact that not alot of the companions got alot development. Heck Yaz herself gets no personality other then what the plot of the episode requires her to be like but we don't get to find out anything about her and the same thing goes for Graham as well and this is why having a lot of companions simply just doesn't work in Doctor Who in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Another thing that I really didn't like about this episode is the fact that this episodes villain really isn't given much motivation. Yes we do find out why he's here on earth but outside of that one scene we don't really get any information about why he's here which for a new villain is kind of big deal since it would allow us the audience the chance to connect with this character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and two minuets and fifty six seconds. Which for a standard episode of Doctor Who is a bit of a long time which is made even longer when you take into account that your not only introducing a new doctor but also new companions and none or very little of that running time is spent establishing who these characters are and what there personalities are in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since there is some action in this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Since alot of this episodes action did remind of the kind of action that we'd see from Jon Pertwee's doctor only more modern which was a very nice surprise indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode wasn't a bad debut episode for Jodie Whittaker's thirteenth doctor since it does a good job of setting up this doctor but at the same time it doesn't  set up her companions at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode erns itself a grand freaking old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking Google Images are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Jodie Whittaker IS The New Doctor My Thoughts


Hello there Doctor Who fans and today is the day that half of the fan base has dreaded and the other half don't care about we have a female Doctor and well here are my thoughts bare in mind i'm not judging her as The Doctor rather the choice to cast her.


I personally don't mind her but i've only seen her in comedic roles so i know she can do the comedy aspect part of the show but with that being said i havn't seen her in any drama so i don't know if she can do the more serious aspects of the show which does slightly have my worried since Doctor Who is and always has been a drama.

Now i recently made a top 5 post about who i think should play the doctor (shameless plug) but i admit if i even did a top 10 she would have came in at number 11 to me she wasn't a contender so in that regards i have to applaud the team for thinking out side the box but at the same time it means now that alot of people won't know if she's a good actress or not and that could people of watching the show.


Now if they are going to change the way things are done which judging by this casting choice they are thinking of doing but i think they should change the sex of the companion this way the makers of the show can hopefully have there cake and eat it. 

The next worry i have is that i don't know if the writers can write a female character i'll be the first one to admit i havn't seen Broadchurch so i don't know how well written the female characters were in that show and Torchwood was more of an ensemble so if the female's weren't written well it didn't matter but now you have a female front and center so the writing has to be top notch.


Overall i personally am very mixed over her casting but i ask all of those that are set against having a female doctor to respect those who are all for having one this fan base is built on love and if past Doctor Who stars are happy about the change which they are i've seen the tweets then you guys can at least be respect full to each other.
