Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour

Basically, I really liked it. I can see we're moving past the era of deus ex machinae and stupid episode endings that piss me off because they're illogical and there was nothing building up to them at all.

(You hear that, Moffatt? This means you can't let me down now.)

First things first, the new opening theme tune (and closing theme tune, for that matter). I didn't outright hate it, but it has to be said, I preferred the old (2005-2010) one. This new one, though, reminds me a lot of the old tunes from the 1980s, in particular the Seventh Doctor's time. If the Eleventh Doctor's episodes are like many of the Seventh Doctor's, then the new theme tune is a fitting tribute and in some ways a good thing, as it harkens back to that glorious era of TV. (Ahem.)

Beyond this point there be spoilers )
