Eleventh Hour

[daibhidc]

Well, first of all, let's get this out of the way:

AAAARGH!! They used the stupid "DOCTOR DW WHO" version of the logo!!! Ruined FOREVER!!!!

Ahem. Well, I suppose I'll get used to it. But seriously, what's the point of announcing a logo I like, and then using a slightly different logo I don't like? (Yes, I know, I am not the whole of fandom, but the impression I get is that a lot of people feel the same way.)

The episode itself? I liked it. The Doctor's first meeting with Amy was clever, and so was the version of "the Doctor sees his new face for the first time". Establishing the Doctor as still being the Doctor in the absence of anyone who knew the Tenth was done quite well, although the hologram of past incarnations was maybe pushing it slightly. (In a cleverer continuity nod, this is the third time the Doctor has stolen his clothes from a hospital.)

Glad that Karen Gillan gets to be Scottish (since pre-publicity had been very vague about this). And I think we all knew that couldn't possibly be intended as a real police uniform. The final scene is a nice twist - although given how vague she is about Rory even being her boyfriend, it's a bit out of nowhere to reveal that he's actually her fiance (or is he?)

Looking forward to next week's...

I thought that about Rory, but then I remembered that the end was two years later than the rest of the show, so it's had time to develop, I guess.

Oh, dur, of course it is...

Glad it's not just me who thought that though!

We've given it a tentative thumbs up :-)
That's the panel of 48, 46, 13 & 12 respectively. (an even split of male & female)
My son loved the trying foods bit and laughed hysterically to the point of being told to go out of the room (and refusing ;)
My daughter had liked him at "Geronimo" fro mthe end of the last one - so was inclined to be biased.
we enjoyed it and are prepared to give it a go! Especially as the new writer has written some of our favourite episodes from the last incarnation :-))

I liked it. Apart from the new music, which they seem to have done something decidely peculiar to.

Agreed on all counts!

I can't wait to see more episodes, but I can't believe I'm going to have to look at that godawful graphic design failure at the start of each one.

Yes, I liked it, too. I hope you manage to cope with the logo, you know, eventually. ;-)

Yes, I can't help feeling that Rory is getting used, there. :lol:

And I liked Eleven. And, what - you can't have too many montages! (Well, you can, but the non Classic audience getting a reminder that DW started in 1963 is always a thrill. :-D)
