After 16 months Doctor Who is back with a pilot episode. The pilot was a nice first episode of this series, it was not big and explosive as every other Moffat series opener. It was more like RTD opener, funny and not so big. It was maybe little disappointing because of this 16 months, you would expect something much bigger...The plot was okay, interesting, but the problem is that it was rushed, too short.They just bounced from one place to another. There were some really good scenes like Bill and shower, it was 'scary' and interesting and it looked good, music was also in that scene superb. Visuals were nice in this one. The planet that Doctor, Bill and Nardole visited was beautiful. Now, let's talk about music, I didn't like it so much, it was so 'childish' when Doctor goes to search for that puddle and Bill is following him and then 'A good man' starts playing... it was so off, it didn't work with it well, they tried to make it epic. Okay, so the main part of the story is Bill and I have to say Pearl Mackie is brilliant, not just she, Nardole was also brilliant I just hope that we're going to have more scenes wit Nardole and Bill they work so good together. Peter Capaldi was also amazing, he's always amazing but he really nailed it. This trio work brilliantly! Congrats to Moffat for that!

So overall it was an excellent start to begin this series. Mackie, Lucas and Capaldi were amazing, can't wait to see more of them. I just hope that stories are going to be more serious and that we are going to learn more about Nardole. This can really be an amazing series, looking forward to the other episodes!
