The second. And I too adored The Neighbors after the not quite funny pilot. I stuck with it because I loved the premise. There’s a germ of a possibly good show here

Somewhat better than the pilot, but I think Kyra could have chosen a better project

The Flash premiere is scheduled for March 2 at 8pm ET

More info from Cultbox on what Bishop said in his Q&A and the purported actor playing his dad https://cultbox.co.uk/news/doctor-who-series-13-new-information-from-john-bishop

A supposed tidbit from John Bishop about the first episode There is supposedly video of the Q&A, but it’s not being shared at this time

I thought Sonny and the nurse had nice chemistry (not in a romantic sense)

I enjoyed this. It's got the right sort of off the wall stuff from the producers. I wasn't expecting so many celebrity cameos in this series

I gave up after this episode. It’s just not keeping my interest enough to keep watching. It’s a bit too much of a mess

I kind of liked it, but at the same time, it felt a little too frantic. Let's see if the next episode settles down a bit

I too enjoyed Cooper and Oliver's story the best. Getting into their heads is probably the best way to handle that kind of thing.

Regarding the Angel filming, several fans were saying the lady in some of the pictures with the Angel looked like a couple of actresses. Cultbox identifies her as actress Annabel Scholey https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/the-split-and-the-salisbury-poisonings-actress-spotted-filming-doctor-who Also, John Bishop and crew are back filming according to his Instagram

What a beautiful episode. I’m a sucker for family history, so Laurel’s story was very interesting to me I didn’t catch who played Laurel’s aunt. She looked very familiar but I couldn’t place her

Remember the uncertain speculation about the Weeping Angels returning? Looks like it’s true after all. Screenrant has pictures of an Angel on Barry beach with crew and Jodie https://www.screenjolt.com/doctor-who-weeping-angels-return-in-season-13/ I look forward to a potentially cool episode and the Chibnall era’s take on them

I enjoyed all 3 with the questionnaire, but I think I enjoyed Meryl the best. She seemed to alternate between being funny and exasperated and that in itself was funny to watch. Tom surprised me with liking Our Lips Are Sealed

The +7 day numbers are 6.25 million viewers. I don’t think this includes devices, which may be released Monday, but that number may not be fully accurate at this time. It was the #1 BBC program for the day and 2nd overall. It will likely end up as the 8th most watched program for the week, the same position as last year’s Series 12’s Spyfall premiere

I was not expecting Lesley to reappear

I thought Mike meeting Tim and all the Home Improvement nods was a bit self indulgent. Otherwise, I liked the episode

Better but still not sure about it long term. The asides to the viewers still bother me. But I did like the Karaoke scene and the interaction with the not-actually-a-date guy

I found it amusing and likable enough to keep watching

Exactly. While people rightly complained Yaz didn't have her own storyline, she subtly did a lot of stuff helping the Doctor and using her skills, and the Doctor used her as a sounding board quite a lot. She also seemed more intensely loyal to the Doctor than the men seemed, often not wanting to leave her side during dangerous situations. I just wish all that wasn’t done so subtly, but it was some pretty good work by Mandip

I don’t know if Yaz necessarily has romantic feelings for the Doctor and I don’t believe the Doctor chose her because she thinks Yaz would have feelings for her. However, I do agree Yaz has developed an attachment to the Doctor, which became a little unhealthy in those 10 months she was trying to find her. She was clearly unhappy in her life prior to meeting the Doctor, feeling she wasn’t given much to do in her job and only a few years distant from an apparent mental breakdown. So she gets to travel with the Doctor, starts to look up to her as someone she would like to be like, and clearly enjoys the things she experiences and helping people. As for the Doctor, it seemed clear to me almost from the start she saw Yaz in a more special way than she did Ryan and Graham, talking to her more and seemingly favoring her more. Maybe it’s because the men had each other, maybe it’s because she saw Yaz’s eagerness and desire to jump in to help with things, but it seemed clear to me the Doctor was mentoring Yaz in a way. If Jodie is leaving at the end of Series 13 (or in a subsequent special), Mandip will probably leave at the same time or soon after. So I’ll be interested to see what happens with Yaz’s journey in this upcoming season. Hopefully she’ll get to the point that she’s ready to resume her life on Earth, though making changes to make her more satisfied, like maybe working with a revived UNIT or something else instead of what she sees as an unfulfilling life as a rookie police officer in a midsize city

Man, this show. Emotional and funny and entertaining

I enjoyed the episode. I do find Abishola rather rigid but like others, I do find her and Bob trying to navigate being together interesting. I did find Kemi annoying in the car, but thought the Bob/Kemi talk interesting and fun. I laughed at Aunty taking offense at Bob being stuffed or whatever it was that was said
