Love the new intro. Really reminds me of decades past. Digging the new theme music, especially the throw-back end title music.
LOVE the new TARDIS interior. So nice to have a dark and organic style again. I’ve really missed that. A similar take to the Eccleston and Tennant coral interior without the turquoise glow, which I thought was unnecessarily cold. This is much warmer.
The story was fine. I’m glad to get back to stand-alones when it isn’t a deal where the fate of the entire universe revolves around some sort of pretzel logic spanning several episodes. This is what I was hoping for under new direction and a new Doctor - weekly adventures.
The production values are top notch. When we meet the first racer, my first thought was it could have been a scene from Solo. I got a chuckle out of the Doctor telling the second racer his ship should be on Antiques Roadshow.
This whole thing so far is a very welcome reset to what has long attracted me to show. I’m an extremely happy fan. It’s been a dark few years for me Who-wise, but this has been well worth the wait.
