Bloody Hell… Chibnall has proven us that he can write! Sacha Dhawan’s performance is AMAZING, pure gold. First, I just want to apologise to Chris Chibnall. He’s proven to us that he can write an amazing Doctor Who story. Full of references to stuff that has happened before as well as establishing a new and ambitious story arc. Dude went big and I really hope he can pull this off. I loved the little references to Classic Who, from the Contact psychic-thing to the Fourth Doctor’s regeneration story. I think Chibnall finally understood the word “legacy”, an important thing for a long-lived show such as Doctor Who. And apparently… everything we know is a lie! The Doctor saved Gallifrey from the Last Great Time War and held it in a parallel-pocket universe and during that time, this version of the Master found out a truth so dark and horrible that he made the Time Lords pay for a crime we are yet to learn about. This stuff is big. A truth so old and dark that it probably involves the Founding Fathers of Gallifrey themselves. Are they back? Omega? Rassilon? The Other? Why did the Master need to punish all the Time Lords? Did he really do it? It’s an interesting story arc and I can’t wait to find out. And about the episode itslef, it was a very round premiere. Very well-written, the performances of both Jodie Whittaker and Sacha Dhawan were amazing. I can see the Doctor and the Master in both of them, their friendship and their history together. The companions were cool too. We still got a lot of questions to answer! Series 12 looks like is going to be fun. Oh, yes!
