sabotabbyObligatory squee post.
LOVE Thirteen. She is adorable and perfect and yay. And properly alien. I would like it if she kept the goggles but I guess not. Very relieved that there were not any of the "I'm a woman now" gags that certain previous showrunners would have done.
Plot was your typical first episode of the series, though I did like the tooth-face guy's stupid character design. Like dude. You have teeth glued to your face.
Sold on Ryan as excellent companion material. Glad he was not insta-cured by the power of will or whatever and I like the idea of a disabled character who solves problems with his brain.
Yaz is also decent, though much more typical. Hopefully they will develop her more.
Graham is meh and irks me already on account of Grace being a much more interesting character, and also they had a badass older black woman and killed her off to highlight the old white dude. Do better, show. I'm guessing he's dead by the end of the season and is reunited with her, though.
No one's said it yet so I guess I have to. The new sonic screwdriver looks like a vibe. Are they really gonna go with that?
My totally legal download cut off pre-theme; I looked it up and dig the new arrangement but I'm still trying to actually find the title sequence.
Anyway, I am pretty happy because it was good and for the next few months, for an hour a week, I can indulge in the fantasy of an alien saving this garbage fire of a world from ending.
