ARCHIVIST: Well, I’m… I’m taller… [shaky breath] I’m, I’m, I’m taller.

MARTIN: [Chuckles] You horrid little man.

MELANIE: Honestly, I think he’s a dick.

MARTIN: Sounds like you’ve got quite a beef with him.

MELANIE: Well, I’m not here to talk about beef, Martin.

feeling sad? feeling crushing fear for the state of this podcast? worried about the ways in which jonny sims is gonna reach into your body and rip your still-beating heart right from your chest?

WELL! everybody’s dying bitch let’s get u some Tender Content :-)

LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND SAY THAT 1:27 ISNT THE MOST THASMIN THASMIN TO EVER THASMIN THEY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE ABOUT TO KISS

Overall, I cannot WAiT AKDOWHAKE. IT LOOKS SO GOOD. SPEND SOME TIME LOSING MY MIND BUT TIME FOR AN ANAYLSIS.

First, of COURSE, the moment we first think GaY, around 0:13. Solely looking at 13 and Yaz, I am at least 90% certain they’re holding hands. Like. Look at the way it looks like 13 is pulling Yaz along. I can’t sksjskshj. Looking at this moment and somehow ignoring the hand pulling, it’s reminiscent of recent episodes (similar lighting), making me think we’re going to get this moment fairly early on! (!!!!!)

THEN THE SUITS OK. We were right about 13 getting a suit jacket I’m so happy (and gay. Mostly gay). I think we’re getting a heist episode, maybe something reminiscent of the one we had with Clara in season 8? I’d love to see more past Doctor references, and I’d genuinely kill for a heist ep.

At 0:27, when the fam is running, there’s the distant “DELETE” which means CYBERMEN. You have no idea how excited I am for the cybermen I love them as a baddie so much alsjskala.

AND THEN

WE GET THIRTEEN’S MONOLOGUE

ITS JUST IN VOICE OVER ABOVE ALL THE ACTION BUT MAN I GOT CHILLS. LIKE ESPECIALLY THE END???

“You think you know who I am, don’t you? In this madness of humanity, you truly believe you have me pegged.” /Pause as the fam stops running (talk about dramatic timing I feel like this is fuaxing stranger things for a second)/ “You’re wrong.” /FUXONG EXPLOSION BEHIND THE FAM, CUT TO BLACK/ “I’m not the Doctor you’re expecting.”

LIKE HOLY SHIT AND THATS ONLY PART OF IT. JODIE’S DELIVERY OF PRESUMABLY DARK!13 IS GONNA KILL ME DEAD.

BUT THEN Y'ALL IT GETS BETTER. BETTER THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED. 1:27. THE GOLDEN TIME STAMP.

YAZ’S HAND ON 13’S ARM. 13’S SOFT™ SMILE SKJAKSNSJKSJAL YOU KNOW THE ONE. AND THEN I SWEAR TO GOD THEYRE LEANING IN. LIKE I SWEAR TO GOD IM NOT GOING CRAZY IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE ABOUT 0.384 SECONDS AWAY FROM KISSING.

TIME TO GO DIE.

Other highlights, in no particular order:

Graham eating the sandwich at 0:47 askajsksn chibnall does love us

Grace??? At 0:56??? Like???? I’m screm but also I love that they’re keeping her relevant as well as Graham and Ryan’s grief being realistic.

AND GUYS AT 1:03 WHEN WE’RE GETTING THE RAPID FIRE SHOTS SLOW IT DOWN CAUSE THE FAM IS PLAYING A BOARD GAME AND THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

But to get into a few predictions!

We’re going to be seeing a huuuuge overarching storyline, maybe something spanning multiple seasons. If you watch the lighting, the entire thing is incredibly cohesive for a single minute and a half-ish trailer. We also missed out on that a bit last season, so I think they have something in store.

Like I mentioned, heist episode!!!!!!

More fam bonding. We haven’t had so much of the group dynamic, and I think that’s going to be explored more.

Yaz!!!! She was hardly out of the trailer and I’m so thrilled. I really hope we’re gonna get more of her as a character and give her a bigger chance to develop.

All the new outfits??? Like we just get glimpses, but highlights include what appears to be Renaissance Yaz and ancient Greek fam. So I think we’re going to get a lot more time travel and exploration of that dynamic.

The TARDIS is gonna have major problems. The lighting was TARDIS blue and throughout you can hear mechanical whirring and similar. I really think there’s going to be something seriously wrong with the TARDIS that will make everything kick into high gear
