Get a flight out here pronto! :p


BBCiPlayer?

Anyway, I'm happy with the opening episode. Smith's acting was pretty good, considering the shoes he was stepping into. Same for Karen Gillem.

Nothing I particularly hated. I was a bit put out by the whole "Oh, she's getting married" bit. Like they haven't done that before in a Doctor Who series.

Liked the new TARDIS, although i'd have been happy with the old one if we got to see the library with a built-in swimming pool area. But that's just me.

Out of 10, i'd give it an 8.

And i'm psyched for Episode 3. Those of you in the know will already be aware that it it's called;
Victory Of The Daleks.

And it looks badass.

In fact, what about a gay Jewish paraplegic?


Don't forget old people- Bernard Cribbins.

I want a fat, middle-aged, jokey Brummie Sikh with a beard and a turban. Or a militant Ulster Protestant.

Both of those deserve their own spin-off show.

Forget bloody Sarah Jane Adventures.


Bernard Cribbins and which one- the Sikh or the Ulster Protestant?

I didn't blink once during the episode, and I didn't even see that!

I did see Ghandi though.

I thought it was a great episode, though I feel more could've happened. As has been said earlier, Smith is acting a bit too much like Tennant (Maybe it's because his version of the doctor hasn't finished regenerating yet). Really liked Karen Gillan ;) As for the new TARDIS, while it looks nice, I much preferred the old version, same with the theme tune. All in all, I give the episode a solid 7/10.

Timelords are back in the Time War, which happens to be timelocked. And with that, the Master has no remnants of himself, thus making it impossible for them to come back. Explain that one, bitch.
