As it's my personal 10th anniversary of discovering Doctor Who, I've decided to do a full rewatch of the series (something I haven't done in at least 6 years) to both celebrate the show and prepare myself for the 60th anniversary specials and upcoming series of the show. Rose, to this day, still stands as the best possible introduction to the world of Doctor Who. Every single detail of this episode perfectly sets up the universe to someone completely unfamiliar with the series, and despite some iffy special effects, the episode still holds strong today. The story also does an excellent job introducing another aspect of Who, the cheesiness. To fully enjoy the show, it's my belief that one has to be okay with a lot of camp, and this episode, with the Auton Mickey and killer mannequins, does exactly what it should in setting the viewer up for the program. Overall, a fun episode, and one that certainly excites me for the journey ahead.
