re: Doctor Who Season 8 Premieres this Saturday

I agree and I'm a big matt smith fan. He did a good matt smith impression early on, then slowly evolved into the angry Scottish, unpredictable doctor who stole every scene. Very excited about the new direction.

I loved the many self aware references to prior episodes, prior doctors, capaldi's prior guest appearance, fan complaints about recent doctors, etc. It reminded me of one of my favorite moments of the new era:

Interesting question with the woman at the end. She's probably someone new but it occurred to me it could be a wide range of characters we know, such as the valeyard, romana, river song (doubtful), the master (doubtful). I had forgotten about the phone number being written down in St. John. (Actually I realized I never saw the opening scenes to St. John. Queen Elizabeth was saying merry christmas for the first 15 minutes when I saw it on Christmas morning)
