I thought the 2 parter with the weeping angels was great. Some very creepy moments there. What did everyone think of the latest episode?

Really enjoying it, I have to say I did'nt like the Amy pond coming onto the doctor at the end, but other than that I find the new doctor refreshing after DT.
I also really do like the music score that runs through this new series.
Hope the good work continues, also hope the crack is not just a simple reboot mechanism but something much deeper.

regards

Whatever does our RSDerek mean?
Was he describing a Dr Who scene?
I do fancy that,
The aforementioned crack,
Was about something I've not yet seen.

Algernon, getting in another crack at the crack.

Any comments on the new series?

I must confess to being pleasantly surprised, and am finding it entertaining. This is completely different to the last series which I found to be boring and tedious to the point where I stopped watching.

"The Silence" were pretty scary beings... It certainly would have had me hiding behind the sofa in my early youth! :P

The characters and cast are very good.

I do find the plots confusing and some of the effects are just too slick, thank goodness for the real fireworks from the control panel when the TARDIS is in trouble.

I have no particular problem with time travel and the anomalies that arise, that makes for a good story, I think the confusion arises from the way the story is edited in that we have to try and work out what has happened when a simple comment or explanation would have helped. 'We have just jumped a thousand years through time' is fine but but just arriving somewhere and the working out half an hour later that we are a thousand years into the future is not so good.

Due to various commitments the episodes are usually recorded and I watch later in time but I am working on a way to record them in such a way that I can see them before they are broadcast :o

Really been enjoying the series so far.

Anyone watch tonight's episode? I thought it was great, made even better by the cliffhanger :crazyeyes:

I'm looking forward to next week's ep.

I dunno, the teaser for the next episode looks more like a trailer for a horror, not Dr Who!

I have to admit i agree with the decision but i also have to question it.

The daleks are repetitive but i will always watch an episode if they are in it. With doctor who i can take it or leave it but i do prefer watching it when one of the older enemies are in it (daleks, cybermen etc.). But i am puzzled why do they choose now to do it. They remodelled them in a big way, so by the time they do want them back in maybe 2-3 years time, new people could be with doctor who and want to change them again...

In the last episode they were in (ignoring the one with the dalek coming back to life each time) they said 'we will return'. So maybe in a couple of years they will be back better than ever.... at least i hope they will.

It'll be interesting to see how Matt Smith does, but I don't think anyone will live up to David Tennant.

Looks like it'll be good though.

This latest series isn't too bad. I'm not in the 'regular viewer' category, but I've watched each episode in this latest series.
