I'll watch for the sexy Red Headed sidekick but what about the Dr?, good, bad or indifferent?

Loved it, although the new theme music is awful. Matt Smith looks promising, Karen Gillan was magnificent and Steven Moffatt is a genius.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.
matt smith didn't quite do it for me for some reason.
having said that, i thought david tennant made a rubbish doctor when he first took over from christopher eccleston. it took me a few episodes to get used to him, so i'll cut the newbie some slack for the time being.
the new sidekick is fab though

I thought it was great. Wasn't keen on the new theme tune but Matt Smith was very good.

At its best ('70s Who) it was a damn sight better than what they tend to churn out in this new series.weebleswobble wrote:I watched bits of old DW on the sci fi channel - total pants
Storywise, last night's episode was utter crap. Matt Smith was a lot better than I expected, mind you. Certainly an improvement on David Tennant, who I'd come to hate by the end of his run.

is this the proper way for a sidekick to behave?

Having now watched it on iPlayer I have to say I thought it was pretty good.
Smith, I think, will grow into the role and now they've got shot of RTD and his emotional incontinence we should hopefully see some edgier scripts.
The WW II Dalek story looks excellent and the Weeping Angels are IMO one of the best monsters of the revived series.
Cliché or not, I loved the line "You're Scottish, fry something!"

I was determined to hate him. For what it's worth I thought he wasn't bad - a bit grittier than David Tenant. Came off as a bit of a cock, but that's ok since many of the classic doctors were total nobheads.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

Scotty and I are going to enjoy this episode

I'm afraid "The End Of Time" was the final straw for me, really. Complete nonsense and retcon from start to finish. I watched this episode with a suitably lemon-sucky expression.
I guess if you weren't a fan of the old series, you can like the new, but out have gone the interesting villains (the only decent one I've seen in the new series was Davros, who was legit creepy, and the only good thing about John Simms' Master was that he was red-hot with bleached hair and eyeliner!), any of the more highbrow dialogue which is replaced instead by the Doctor getting tearful at least twice an episode, and finally, the series isn't even being played with a straight face anymore. A show can be great if it's camp unknowingly, but this whole nudge-wink thing annoys me.
Although with RTD gone there with any luck will be less clunky preachy dialogue on his pet issues.

For what it's worth, I lost interest about halfway through David Tennant's tenure.
