re: Doctor Who Season 8 Premieres this Saturday

You can be dark and a dick and still likeable. Capaldi didn't really have that "IT" moment for me, but I'm not writing him off.

I liked Capaldi in this ep more than I liked Smith in Eleventh Hour.


My New-Who opener rankings:

Rose
Deep Breath
Eleventh Hour
Christmas Invasion




This ep was also the best that Clara's ever been, and I like Clara.

Most quotable ep in years.

Strax and co are back to being good and not a drain on an episode.

I loved the cameo, but found it unnecessary.

Some reviews are attacking the ep for Capaldi being too Matt Smith-y ("he wears a tie," "Geronimo," etc.). FFS, Tennant in Christmas Invasion did a bunch of Ecclestone things.
