funny if Kris Marshall really did become the Doctor this time  It'd be cool if John Bishop is a "stealth cast", be it through Chameleon Arc or something. |
I actually enjoyed it when I got round to watching it. I hate the "special child origin of the timelords" storyline and I'm REALLY, REALLY hoping it turns out to be some sort of Master-based-deception. It ruins the doctor's backstory (the mischievous child who ran away to see the stars) somewhat. But anyway... I enjoyed a lot of it as standalone material. She did fade into the background a little too often - I honestly think in large part due to the error of having an ensemble cast - however she had several "solo moments" where she did convincingly shine as the battle-hardened Doctor we've known since the middle of Smith's run. Especially in the second run, and it's a shame we didn't get more of them.
Maybe we will in her 3rd stint as it's thankfully back to Doctor +1 in the TARDIS.
