2. I think she's been a terrific Doctor!

Her energy and enthusiasm in the role harken back to Matt Smith and David Tenant's portrayals. I honestly couldn't stand David Capaldi as Doctor Depressed. I don't know how much of his dismal incarnation was due to the writing and direction vs. his casting, but Jodie Whittaker was a welcome relief.

On the other hand, the new companion introduced in the 6 episode Flux series brought very little to the mix. The young pilots who were trying to get back to each other were much more interesting characters.
