As soon we meet Bill she talks about her gay sexuality. Bad representation.

Ugh.

And then it continues with most of her characterization in the first 10 minutes being centered around her sexuality, it's just really bad representation and characterization.

Other than that, her character is okay, as is the episode, but it's the worst companion introduction ever. All the other companion's had stronger introduction's, meaning they were better characterized and more likeable.

Actually, Nardole was the worst introduction, and Bill is the second worst. It's not looking good for season 10, but i'll keep an open mind.

I don't care about the villain. Why is Bill getting emotional over it after having known that woman for a few minutes and shared a few lines of dialogue with?

Ugh.

The doctor was going to wipe her memory. 12 is so unstable.

You know, i'm starting to wonder if i should watch doctor who anymore. Anyone who travels with the doctor is probably bound to a tragic fate, including us, the viewer. The sadness we experience in all of the danger and suffering that happens, and all the tragedy that befalls the companions. I feel like i've had enough of it.

And the doctor keeps doing it, keeps drugging people to become his companions, stealing them from their lives. He keeps delivering to them and to us good highs, but the drug is no longer new for us, and we need good and better stories for us to keep hooked. And the high is no longer as good as it once was, it hasn't been for a long time.

I'm tired of doctor who. I'm not interested much anymore, in the stories, companions, and even this incarnation of the doctor. I think a lot of my passion died with Clara and River. Or maybe i should wait a while before continuing, i'll see. At least Missy is still around.

Moffat gave us such great highs with the doctor and his companions. Really big plot arcs and things to shape the doctor's mythos. Some of it i don't really like. But when he was successful in getting across the weight of events happening, it was great. Same with the RTD era. The RTD era felt so adventurous and intense and interesting and impactful.

And i just feel... As described in the show, that all good things must end. All things must end.

When cracks start showing on an object, it's going to get more cracks over time, and eventually it will break.

I feel... Strange, with mixed emotions.
