5 Things I'm Looking Forward To In Doctor Who Season 10

Less than a week before the premiere of Doctor Who Season 10! After waiting a year and a half for new episodes (minus the Christmas special), we finally get some new content, and it's going to be a countdown to Capaldi's end.

1. Bill
A new companion is always exciting, but Bill in particular seems funny, down to earth, and is a breath of fresh air, sassy and sarcastic and asking the right questions, a mix of Rose and Donna. And that's all we know based off of a few small previews. If that doesn't make you excited for the new season, I don't know what will. Like I've said before, I am really hoping that she is completely normal. No Impossible Girl, no Girl Who Waited, just a regular girl who happens to run into the Doctor.

2. Nardole
I don't care what others think, I really like Nardole. As I've said before, I really like when Team Tardis has 3 people. He's a great little addition, a little bit of guaranteed humor in a sometimes dramatic show. I hope we get a little more back story on him as well, since he's only had a handful of appearances thus far.

3. Missy
Who doesn't miss the Doctor's greatest frenemy? While Simm!Master with Ten will be my favorite, Missy was something a little different, an evil Mary Poppins who was the same not-entirely-sane that defines the Master. She always has a little trick up her sleeve and is equally willing to help or hurt her oldest friend. She's delightful. Sign me up.

4. Old and New Monsters
The most iconic things about Doctor Who are the monsters. Who doesn't get a little chill when you hear “exterminate” or “delete”? The trailer makes it clear that we will be introduced to different monsters, and there's always the possibility that some old classics will come back. I hope we get one that will become an integral part of the Doctor Who canon, like the Weeping Angels.

5. Capaldi going out with a bang
This will technically be my first regeneration; I got into Doctor Who the spring after Smith left, so Capaldi was the first run of a Doctor I will have watched from start to finish as it aired. Therefore, no matter how the show goes from here, Twelve will always have a special place in my heart. I really did like Capaldi and I can't wait to see how they're going to make this season amazing for him. I don't know if they've revealed if he is regnerating this season or at Christmas. The second trailer has a small shot of him starting to regenerate. I guess it will be obvious. I'm also wondering if they will reveal the next Doctor before the season ends, or sometime this year. So many things are unanswered!

I can't wait for Season 10. I'll be watching live on the 15th and will be writing reviews for each episode, to go up on Mondays. I haven't decided if I will be doing reviews for Class yet. I'll decide when I watch the episode.
