This review contains spoilers!

this felt soo crazily different from so much of doctor who but i guess ones era was just more experimenal. the song that ran through was very well done. i think dodos and doc hollidays friendship was very sweet - and it didnt seem sexual or creepy, just a earnest cute friendship. i really liked the doctor in this, his character and role felt very strong for once, with his mantra against guns and violence. classic who does these stories a lotttt where the only problem the tardis team need to fix is just them getting back to the tardis cause they got mixed up in trouble, but no threat to the people from the time theyre in. it would not fly today really!! i liked steven and dodo having fancy names, dodo dupont and steven regret. a fun little detail! the song was actually really good and it grew on me a lot, especially about how tragic a lot of the random deaths, like charlie were, and his death was taken decently seriously, with his dead body just.. lying there. it was a bit slow and confusing to start but it really won me over which i was not expecting a western to do at all. it was a bit confusing trying to tell the men apart though. i liked stevens outfit, and dodo had an awesome, very 60s one she wore just at the begining.
