I don't think so. The Doctor already has one screen similar in style to the one in The Movie. Maybe its the escape hatch? :P

Yes. Sounds weak. And what have they done with the poor vortex? I almost feel sorry for it. :(

It was fricking awesome though. :D

I had my doubts about Matt Smith as the Doctor.

Fortunatly, those doubts were laid to rest!

This first episode was absolutly brilliant story-wise and most of the effects were great.

Few things I didn't like:
1. I thought the Attraxi ships looked kinda stupid to be honest. The big eye was cool but the ships themselves just didn't look great.
2. I like the new theme tune variant. What I didn't really like was the new time vortex. Looks like a WMP 11 skin.
3. I still say the new TARDIS interior was way too clutered. The center column had a odd look to it.
4. Didn't like that weird zooming around effect when the Doctor was looking through all those peoples phones to find that Nurse guy.

I'm going to miss the old TARDIS interior. It was like saying bye to a dear friend that you won't ever see again. Same with the old Sonic Screwdriver. The new Sonic Screwdriver looked great though. Good to see that the Doctor didn't have to time travel back to the Sonic Factories of Villengard just to get the new Sonic Screwdriver. The TARDIS just 'knew' that the Doctor wanted a new one, which reiterates that the TARDIS is still alive and looking after the Doctor in some way.

Swapped out bananas for fish fingers, custard and apples now. Lol'd.

I lol'd when the Doctor burst in on Jeff while he was so obviously watching porn.

Should be a great series. Glad that Moffat still acknowledged the previous 10 Doctors.

@Vortex, I told ya so! You got own3d buddy! :D

Ahh. To be honest, I would've preffered the vortex in the trailer mixed in with the official one.

Really? The actual vortex looks bad, but the one in the trailer looked worse. I don't think they would look any better if they were mixed together to be honest.
Also, Moffat needs to ditch that TARDIS/DW insignia in the new title sequence in between the actual 'Doctor' and 'Who' title. Still looks stupid.

Fantastic in my opinion, Theme tune could be better, sounds slightly reversed. The vortex looks like a fluffy worm hole.

I'm now going to be sayign "fish custard" alot now :D

All in all acting and script excellent, I agree with Billz point 1, could have been better

so i'm gonna say 9?10 for that episode.

What disappointed me most about the new vortex is that there's very little activity. And its virtually identical in the closing credits. RTD's was fast and furious in the opening, and more calm and relaxed in the closing. The vortex is basically a tribble now.

Wow... That was quick...

I agree with the vortex remarks, it just looks incredibly... Dull now, the TARDIS looks very pasted on to it too, rather than part of it like it did in the RTD era sequence.

The new theme, is very reminiscent of the 1996 movie theme, and while I'm not fond of it at the moment (especially the opening 'scream', that just sounds like it's being played through a mobile phone speaker) I'm sure it will grow on me in time.

As for the episode, wow is all I can say, Matt looks very promising as The Doctor and Amy Pond looks like a different kind of assistant... One thats not afraid to slap him around the face... With a cricket bat...

I also like the fact that they've brought the clicking back ^_^.

The plot was a bit messy in places, but good.

My downright favourite part though, was the flashback of all the Doctor's, then Matt's incarnation stepping through David's. That made it for me.

I forgot about the cricket bat! :D
Someone needs to make a gif of that saying 'you've been cricketed!'.

What 'clicking' do you mean? I must have missed that the first time round. I'll have to watch it again soon.

Ah okay. To each his own I guess.
I wish the TARDIS key had been changed to actually look like a TARDIS key instead of a Yale key like in the Christopher Eccleston/David Tennant and early William Hsrtnell eras.

I prefer the yale key. I know the Doctor is an alien but its a police box, you cant get more human than that. Might as well keep the trend. :P

About the cricket bat (yeah, I cheated...again, lol) - wouldn't you bean a guy in the face if he said he'd be back in five minutes, but he came back in twelve years?

It was EPIC,it was PURE AWESOME, it was FRESH! The new animation opening sequence/theme i can tell will grow on me,it is a bit goofy (the lightning in Vortex whacking the Tardis around is a bit silly but Dr who is aimed at kids as its target audience.)

As open minded as i was to accept Matt smith, i never expected him to be THIS good. Look around and you will be hard pressed to find a criticism of his performance on any site online, i searched for about 2 hrs and found nothing but Praise for the man.

The whole way he met Amy was a fantastic new spin on a very traditional part of who- the intro of the companion. My favorite part of the episode was the waay the Doc saved the earth- Moffit knows how to pull off unexpected new twists to solve the dilemmas of his stories, unlike the last second reset button solutions of RTD era.

It's okay to have things you don't care for in any series,.but the bottom line is i am grateful for what they got "right" and "forgiving" of the few quibbles i have.

My short list of "not likes"-

1. The new Tardis exterior- eww

2. The bow tie tweed outfit- i'll get over it. But it definitely could have been better.

That is about it- i LOVE the new interior look, because it "feels" more hi tech mixed with pulp fiction sci fi.

Like Joshmaul I cheated as well...I'm definitely gonna miss Tennant  and the RTD era.  But I think this is gonna grow on me...
