I was a little surprised that the episode isn't like some Hollywood blockbuster movie, and isn't a complete "re-imagining" like BSG. This was just a fun romp, that sort of reminded me of Shaun of the Dead in it's tone. Yet still traditional enough to be Doctor Who as it always was - a fun show that doesn't take itself as seriously as some of the other sci-fi TV shows. There's plenty of them already. Doctor Who offers something different.
