Doctor Who Christmas Special

[profiterole_reads]

The Doctor Who Christmas Special was amazing! \o/

I really love Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. It would have been so cool if he had kept the kilt as part of Fifteen's costume.

Ruby's awesome, she has as much energy as he does. She's a bit reminiscent of Rose, but maybe RTD will manage to move on at some point.

As for the goblin plot, it was a lot of fun!

I really enjoyed it, I thought he was great and they made a good team.

[profiterole_reads]

They definitely do. :-)

I am looking forward to getting to know this new Doctor better. I loved this first proper episode with him :D

[profiterole_reads]

Yes, I'm looking forward for the full season. It was great to already have a Special with him this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Ncuti!

[profiterole_reads]

Yes, I can't wait! :-)

I loved it! Even if I rolled my eyes a bit at how similar Ruby is to Rose, but Ncuti just shines. Haven't been this excited for Who in ages.

[profiterole_reads]

Yes, I can't wait for the full season!

[meathiel]

Yeah, I wouldn't have minded the kilt! 😁😁😁

[profiterole_reads]

It was mean to tease us with the kilt and then not deliver.

[beccadg]

Heh. They've talked about him changing costumes regularly unlike previous Doctors. We might see the kilt again?

[profiterole_reads]

I didn't know about that. Cool!

Don't know if I can do links to pictures I have in my Dreamwidth images here or not, but if the links don't work I have a couple of the promotional pics I've seen in my images you can look at. Attempting the links here--

Yeah, it works. I've seen the second one, but not the first one. These costumes are A+! <3

Thanks! Looking at him in those period looks, it's just when he's in the modern outfits that I find the mustache a bit distracting. It works fine with the period looks for me.

I love Ncuti Gatwa, I was excited when he was cast because he played a favorite character of mine in Sex Education, but watching his first full outing as Fifteen I realized it's going to take me a bit to adjust to his being the first ever Doctor that isn't clean shaven.

[profiterole_reads]

Yeah, I saw some of Sex Education too. Surprisingly, I'm not thinking of that at all when I'm watching him as The Doctor.
