5 minutes in and not liking doctor so far. There is just something offputing about him.

Edit: That was odd, all felt a bit frantic really, bit all other the place, same as the doctor. But why is a wall clock connected to the internet?

The new TARDIS is beautiful. Almost steampunk, actually, but mixed with modern styling. Sorta.
I quite like Matt Smith as the Doctor. Being the first episode, it's hard to make a proper judgement, but I think I'm gonna enjoy this series more than the last few.

I loooove the new TARDIS theme, even if I don't quite like the new intro.

Anyway out of here until they post it on Youtube.

For shame NPF!

Of course he's gonna lose the screwdriver. He freakin' gives it away! Doesn't anybody remember Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead?

Professor Smarmiarty · 04-03-2010, 02:33 PM

Well he's already blown up one and then got a new one again by episode's end...

look at them legs

I kind of like the new direction this new season is taking. Feels a lot more modern.

Holy. Freaking. Shit.

The good: Matt Smith. Holy crap, he knows how to act. He's very physical, he's very spastic, he's the Doctor on crack and yet he still figures out how to save the world at the end of the day. There's a certain joy that reminds me of Tennant, but the way he delivers his lines, with the tongue-in-cheekiness yet still diligent and always two-steps-ahead-of-you that Tom Baker used to show.

Karen Gillian. God she's gorgeous. And she manages to ventilate her frustration at the Doctor leaving her alone for twelve years without resorting to the melodramatic shouting of Rose and Donna. And she's gorgeous.

Little Amelia Pond. She's probably my favourite character of the episode. I find it difficult to believe this little girl's first acting-gig was here. She's a natural born actress.

Rory, whoever the fuck he is, is clumsy-yet-adorable enough for me to totally buy his character, unlike a certain Elton from Love & Monsters.

The cinematography. That's movie-quality. I like how it totally accomodates the script even during the slow moments, like little Amelia waiting in the garden for the TARDIS to come back. Whoever directed this must be commended.

The script. You know, I think I may have found my favourite Moffat script so far. I used to regard The Girl in the Fireplace as the Moffat story with its mixup of emotion and action and fear factor, but this one doesn't give you a moment to breath even when the plot has to settle for the small touching moments.

Murray Gold. Good old lovely Murray Gold, I don't get the hate you fuckers have for him. Best score in an episode yet.

Shit, I could go on and on. This is the kind of Doctor Who I became a fan of. The Eleventh Hour is easily in my Top Ten stories of all time.

The bad: The title sequence. For an episode that never stops its punches, the introduction credits are too slow. The previous series' title sequence had a more pumping velocity.

This is my favourite new-Doctor opening story of all time. The pacing is ridiculously fast, without ever leaving you behind. The action never stops. This is an RTD script through the lenses of Moffat. This is good writing.™ 10/10

P.S. The eyeball scared the shit outta me.

I agree, little Amelia Pond was absurdly precious.

I actually felt pretty bad for her when she didn't get to travel in time.
