fridgepunkI felt that bringing the daleks back again (again) in the very first episode was a bit meh, and having the Doctor just rip out Davros' heart through his chest with his bare hands was a bit much. But at least the doctor and Amelia just did it on that table already instead of having UST lurking in the background all season.
Actual spoilers beneath the cut.
DO NOT WANT NEW CLOUDY INTRO + THEME liked the old one. boo.
Okay Moffat, you can make ANYTHING creepy.
The Doctor just opened up a small girl's crack. /is 12
Nina Wadia!
Yes moffat, we get it, you made a crack in the wall creepy, and now you made a door creepy, you can make anything creepy, my niece is still creeped out by statues okay we get it, the squeaky floor board will be menacing in a second I'm sure.
Phallicy monster! Give a penis pointy teeth and bam! Instant monster.
BBC 1 kissagram = BBC 2 whore /britglish cultural translation.
I love that Moffat works in word play as a major plot point.
This is astoundingly white, well at least they haven't done anything to...
NINA WADIA NOOOOOOOOOO!
pr0n!
The Doctor is the fluffer of the human race. (The Fluffer is the Doctor's real name, after he worked in that porn studio to pay for studying at gallifrey university in his youth. Why did you think Madame Le Pompadour was so amused by it?)
pr0n!
DON'T TRUST A PAIR OF SMALL GIRLS IN IDENTICAL DRESSES! They are always evil.
Not as awesome an entrance as was really required doctor. C-
And the phallicy monster just backs a truck up and dumps a whole fuck load of Arc words all over the place. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
And it all goes wrong?
Oh yes.
But it gets better! False resolution involving technobabble replaced by actual resolution that involves careful set up and intelligence on the part of the doctor rather than technobabbly asspull. Nice.
Weird hairless chest.
"EIGHT. MY GOD. EIGHT IS CANON NOW." *aliens run away from TV movie*
And the interior sucks...?
RTD's major contribution to DW canon: clicky tardis opening. That so makes up for those crappy episodes and you wasting good actors on your crappiness. /bitter
Interior neither sucks nor blows. Looks like Neil Gaiman's house. huh.
Well someone's going to be late for their wedding. The Doctor has a knack for stealing brides.
Okay, I though I was joking about that last one, amount of doctoring in DW canon = 0, amount of bridal kidnapping in DW canon = fuckton.
Oh Kay teasers, you have sold me. FLOATING CITY IN SPACE you have sold me.
MEERA SYAL!
bowtie + gun = american talk show host surely?
In conclusion:
Not as good as Rose, or The Christmas Invasion or Martha or Donna's intros, but nothing in the set up actually appeared to fail (fandom will now explain how I'm wrong on that point). But Moffat looks to be setting himself up with tons of back story to work through, back story involving character development (which is where Moffat tends to pull the awesome out). And did I mention drama? Lots of that.
