First Impressions of the 11th Doctor Who

Posted by kdawson on from the about-time dept.

Mirk writes "The first episode of Doctor Who's new series 5 has just aired on BBC1 in the UK. This is an important episode for the show because so much has changed: Matt Smith plays the new Doctor, replacing David Tennant, and Karen Gillan portrays a new companion, Amy Pond. Maybe most important, Russell T. Davies is replaced as showrunner by Stephen Moffat, who is known for acclaimed Doctor Who scripts including The Empty Child and Blink. Here is an early review of the new Doctor, companion, showrunner, and series."

      Just a note to our cousins across the pond, British police officers *do not* look like that :(

    Love the humour, love the pace but still a bit too much random running around. Cast and chrs are just the change of pace needed, quirky but loveable and with decent chemistry. Wonder who was responsible for the cracks in the universe?

    The prisoner said it didn't create them. It teased the doctor because he didn't know who had.

    That's the one that got the current writer promoted so is a good prelude to the current series.
    Unfortunately they aren't all as good as that.
