A few thoughts: Definitely overstuffed and confusing, but that’s usually par for the course with many pilots Unlike some, I actually liked the “How Will I Live” performance as a good emotional moment in the show Trace Adkins was pretty wooden I don’t exactly care for certain choices Sarandon made outside of acting, but I like her acting and I thought she held the center pretty well. So to kill her off in the pilot seems dumb to me if she’ll only be in a few episodes this season since I don’t see any of the other characters being able to be the anchor of this show

So adorable

It doesn't seem to be available for pre-release on iTunes yet and this could just be the UK release date. I've seen a tweet that says Jodie's 3 final specials will be released separately

Season premiere next Friday September 23, 9:05-11pm ET

Lots of interesting stuff

That’s Linda Purl? Wow, I didn’t recognize her. I guess I haven’t seen her in awhile

Here's my writeup summarizing various things in the coverage of the special from DWM. I've put in spoiler brackets for length. This is just from the interviews Sacha, Janet and Sophie did. There's a lot more from the guy playing the Lone Cyberman and Cybermaster costume stuff from Ray Holman, plus great pictures all around. Please consider buying the issue to support the magazine in these trying times

Just to note, some people got the current issue of Doctor Who Magazine early so they leaked the info and pics on social media (DWM likely is staying mum on social media until after the Queen's funeral). It should be available to digital subscribers tonight and will be officially available and on sale tomorrow (Thursday). It's mostly about the guest stars and the next issue in October will be part 2 of their coverage on the special and will likely interview Jodie, Mandip and John

The title of Jodie’s final special is “The Power of the Doctor”
