I am extremely excited about this season! The Eleventh Hour was a tremendous season opener IMO. It even had some foreshadowing of what seems to be the next big evil the doc must avert.... the cracks in space-time and that the 'Silence will Fall'

 

Matt Smith is great, and brings back some of the quirky and loveable eccentric dorkiness of the older doctors that DT didn't have. Last years Tennant specials were so lacklustre, but now Whovians worldwide are genuinely excited again.

 

I'm still pondering what 'The Eleventh Hour' actually refers to - is it that Amelia has run off just before her wedding??

 

I loved the trailer at the end as well (which you can also get in 3D!).

 

Seeing the

statues from Blink

(my fave modern DW episode) was a great thrill.. and I even saw a glimpse of some Roman troops so they may be going back to that era again ;)

 

....and the

Daleks

who seem to be fighting for Britain in WW2........ phaw!

edit: Loved the steampunk Tardis(reminiscent of the McGann era Tardis a bit).... and the new opening theme was different, but still cool. The vortex has never looked murkier :D

 

until I saw the credits, I really thought the guy in the ice cream truck was RTDavies :p

Good pilot. Enjoyed Matt Smiths performance of the new Doctor and definitely loved the new music they made. The plot wasn't bad either; quite enjoyable actually, and it's nice to see that the creators made it "Rookie Friendly" to new Doctor Who audiences. (Like me.)

 

All in all, it's enjoyable, and I look forward to seeing more.

I think the opening titles are awful (I've never been a fan of the TARDIS zooming around), and I really don't like the new title music.

 

As for the Doctor, i'm really not sure, and i'm not too sure about his new companion either. I guess i'll have to watch more of them. (even if it turns out bad, it's about the only thing worth watching on a Saturday evening).

 

I thought the episode was alright, although again, i'm still not sure what to make of it. Hopefully it'll pick up after a few episodes.

The backstory they gave to her ties her to the doctor very strongly. I cant think of any other companion that met the doc as a child, spent the next 14 years obsessed by him. It's a very powerful link - and I wonder if the writers are going to keep it 'just friends' because he has childhood link with her?

 

It's interesting, that's for sure.

This would be disarming for people that are very used to the older series. IMO. if the clunky old daleks get to do it, so should the TARDIS :thmbup1:

That article was bollocks - it painted it as if he hates it and thinks its a pointless waste of time, whereas if you look at the final paragraph you will notice he actually thinks what most people think: that's it's a silly, unrealistic and undeniably entertaining tv series. TP has wayy to much class to actively attack something like that anyway.

 

PS. the new assistant is seriously hawt. I have a big weakness for red-headed women in mini-skirts. and Matt Smith is pretty cool aswell, if slightly too similiar to his predecessor Mr. Tennant.
