Just got back from a weekend away. Soon as I walked in the door I turned on the TV and immediately watched my recording of saturday's Doctor Who. My, my, what an episode. If there's one key difference between Russell T. Davies' and Steven Moffat's series it's that the latter all seems very fast and requires a lot of attentiveness - such as that reference to The Graduate, LOL. Loving the monsters, and the increasingly complicated storylines, cannot wait for this saturday.

theres a student called Hugh in our medical school class. we have a lot of fun with his name-to-be 'Doctor Hugh', the poor soul. He's going to hate his name by the time he qualifies lool.

I watched this episode from my sky+ earlier and thought it was very good. One of the best openings of a series I've ever seen and some great one liners. River Song is such a brilliant character and there's a lot of double entendres considering this is a family show: "I'm quite the screamer." :bwl:

I loved the opening nearly as much as Matt's first episode but I'm having trouble with tonight's episode. I'm giving it another go now.

By the way, now I'm old, I don't want to be a PussyCatDoll, I want to be River Song she totally rocks :cool: o/

What an amazing episode 2. Complicated, and with lots of twists, but brilliantly written and with the same amount of epicness I've come to expect from Moffat. Cannot wait for next week - Lily Cole dressed as a ghostly mermaid? Count me in :D

Probably the least surprising reveal ever. I think most people had figured that out a while ago (especially when they revealed the baby was called Melody).

Yes it was predictable. Still a much better episode than the last couple I found.

I cracked up reading the next episode title, though can't believe we have to wait until autumn now, gah!

I really struggle with the episodes where people preach about the Doctor's impending vengeance, and how others should be terrified of him, blah blah blah! I have watched Matt Smith as the Doctor for a series and a half now, and he comes across as a lovely man, as did David Tennant. I cannot believe writers like Moffat or Davies have failed to pick up on the fact he comes across as an extremely knowledgable, yet completely harmless and lovely individual. As a result, I can never ever take episodes like yesterday's seriously. It just sort of plodded along.
