I kind of just need to shout OMG YES to everything you said :-)
But also, I particularly loved that the Doctor handpicked Bill to teach because he could see her potential and they had all that time together to bond before the adventure started. It was so new and great! And I also teared up a little at Bill looking through the photos.
The fat comment can be seen as problematic, but at the same time, it felt very real? True? A thing that showed she's not perfect? And she clearly still fancies the girl, so I didn't mind it.
And! I bought the Bill/Heather thing because it was totally a crush, not true love, and people do ridiculous things for crushes when they don't know their crush-object very well. Bill ended up not going with her because she recognised was a crush, and even though she really liked Heather, they'd never got to know each other well enough to know if it was more.
I <3 Bill. I haven't had this total excitement about a companion since Donna. I haven't had this squeefulness about a new series since Eleventh Hour. It feels so good!
