Loving Jodie Whittaker Catching up on the new season and I am loving Jodie Whittaker as The Doctor.  Particularly, I'm loving that she made a seamless transition from bewildered "I'm new here" to wild adventurer.  She's insanely fun to watch, and quickly rising to the top of my favorite Doctors! 

2 other things I'm finding refreshing about the season: 1) no companion-as-love-interest, and 2) the adventures that happen between shows ("sorry about the killer turtles!") that make it feel less like The Doctor is on some grand mission to save the universe, and more like she's an adventurer with friends who fixes problems when she sees them.  At some point it will be nice to have a multi-episode arc of a larger problem that pulls The Doctor away from Earth for a prolonged period, but for now I'm enjoying the casualness of it all.
