In a recent journey into the world of British television, I decided to dive into "Doctor Who," a series that has been captivating audiences for decades. I kicked things off with the first episode of the first series titled "Rose," and boy, was it an exciting introduction to the Doctor's universe. The episode follows Rose, a young woman working in a department store, who gets entangled with a mysterious stranger known as the Doctor.
First and foremost, I was struck by the quality of acting throughout the episode. Christopher Eccleston's portrayal of the Ninth Doctor was outstanding. His monologues were delivered with power and nuance, leaving a lasting impact. The supporting cast also impressed me with their performances, especially Billie Piper as Rose. Despite limited context for her character, she managed to convey a sense of depth and relatability, giving us a character we can root for.
Another element that caught my attention was the high-energy nature of the episode. From the Doctor's chaotic, quick-witted dialogue to the fast-paced plot, it kept me engaged from start to finish. The introduction of the TARDIS and the sonic screwdriver added to the excitement, making me eager to explore more of the Doctor's world.
However, one aspect that stood out was the chemistry between the characters. While Rose and the Doctor make an intriguing pair, I found their dynamic to be more of a mentor-student relationship than a romantic one. This choice added depth to their interactions, showing that the showrunners were more interested in character development than a simple love story.
In conclusion, "Rose" served as a promising beginning to my Doctor Who journey. The exceptional acting, fast-paced storytelling, and character-driven approach all worked in its favor. I'm excited to explore more episodes and witness the evolution of the Doctor and his companions. Stay tuned for more of my Doctor Who reactions as I dive deeper into this iconic series.

Yeah, one of the revelations of this first series was how good an actor Billy Piper is. Prior to this she was known as a teen pop singer.

@OVM601

You're the first person I've seen react to Doctor Who that picked up on the duplicitous nature of the Doctor from the beginning. While the show definitely characterises him as a hero - and for the most part he is - like any complex character in fiction he is quite capable of lying and duplicity.

@elsalaiho1699

One thing that shocks me every time is just how ordinary Rose looks. Like, the jeans, the hoodie, the make-up, she looks like she could be any girl, she looks like someone I could have known in school. Like I mean obviously Billie Piper is very pretty, but I love what they've done with the costuming, and overall the vibe of the character, that she doesn't look like a supermodel with not a hair out of place, she doesn't feel like she's some genius superhero right from the start, she's just ordinary, and in a way that just makes her all the more intriguing as the series goes on, at least to me

@sallyatticum

Billie was one of those industry-created pop stars, but is now an Olivier award winner.

@thymeIord

Billie Piper actually

@josefschiltz2192

Mickey cowering and clinging to Rose in the final scene is a neat reversal of all those Frazetta or Vallejo Conan the Barbarian covers where the semi-clad female character is doing the same thing. The Surrealist tenet "The Juxtaposition of Distant Realities" is a valuable tool for Doctor Who that has been made very good use of since the show's first episode back in late 1963. It's first showing was the day after Kennedy's assassination on November 22nd, hence the Dallas reference. Christopher Eccleston's incarnation of the Doctor is very high octane and has a great deal of PTSD baggage from the war, naturally enough, more of which later. Since you are up to episode 7, you already know who with.

I hope you keep uploading to KZfaq.

@briancarlosgreen

Can’t wait until we get to episode 6! And yeah, Mickey was designed to be easy for Rose to leave. Compare the Doctor to Mickey and you know who she was gonna choose right away.

The humans that are around the doctor are written much more realistically than in the matt smith era, you really get their fear or bewilderment... their sorrow and anger...

@daveofyorkshire301

The first episode was back in 1963. It ran until 1989 and then was rebooted 2005.

@jennifermorris6848

Thanks for taking note of the fabulous soundtrack. What was accomplished by Murray Gold with no budget in the early series and then later with full orchestrations- perfection!

@lexiburrows8127

Mickey is sort of like the Whoniverse's Neville Longbottom. He starts off as a total doofus but ends up being a hero.

@DoctorWhoBookClub

There is also the classic Doctor Who series (Doctors 1-7), which aired for 26 season 1963-1989. The 60th anniversary of the series is coming up on November 23rd of this year!

@space1999

The kennedy assasination picture is a bit of an easter egg as dr who was originally aired a day after the assassination in 1963... they decided to rerun the 1st episode again a week later due to the disruption caused by the news footage

@OrbitalCookie

Both series 1&2 is campy, but the camp never stops in this show.

@UserName-vb4lg

There’s a real mix of episode but a surprising amount of quality performances throughout. The camp is part of the style of the show. Embrace it.

@margaretconnor5623

It's so funny how you said it's not too common over in the UK to take models, etc. and have them act in things out of nowhere when that's pretty much exactly what happened. Rose? She's played by Billy Piper. She was a teen pop singer before she landed this role, very similar in style to Britney Spears in my opinion. So this was her first big acting gig. So they really did just take a random pretty face like a model, in her case a pop star, and made her an actor and she fucking killed it.

@blaiddmawrdrwg918

This is the Post time war Doctor, he regenerates but never saw his face until this time in Rose flat he was so damaged that he broke all the mirrors on the tardis.
