I really love this short trip. And our first glimpse at our new companion, Bill, looks incredible.
A couple of thoughts…
I’m getting MAJOR Ace and Donna vibes off of Bill – the sass, the directness, finding the humor and absurdity in her adventures, and her ability to completely baffle the Doctor.
I love using a short adventure to introduce us to the new companion. It gives us such a great look at Pearl Mackie, Bill, and the dynamic between the Doctor and his new companion.
Bill sounds like a really amazing character. Pearl Mackie describes her as “Fantastically written, cool, strong, sharp, a little bit vulnerable with a bit of geekiness thrown in.” This is pretty much everything I could’ve wanted.
Bill will be the first non-white companion to travel with the Doctor since Martha, and it was long past time for that to happen.
