Rose’s first adventure in the TARDIS is a playful romp with its more serious moments feeling well-earned. Nine balances his clever witticisms and compassion in saving Platform One in a wonderful show of who the Doctor is. And for Rose, she is reminded of the value of humanity with the greater awareness that it will be gone. Cassandra is an iconic villain and the needle drop for “Toxic” is one of the most iconic. Overall, with beats of action and sincerity, it provides a good taste for the space half of adventures.
