A very impressive opening to the new series, I thought. Matt Smith took me entirely by surprise, as I went into the show feeling great trepidation about someone so young playing the role. As it was, his performance was measured, well rounded, quirky enough to be an alien being and he showed an interesting flash of steel at the end of the episode when he told the aliens with the BFG's to run. How much of my impressed-ness was to do with his performance being really good, and how much it had to do with him not being as terrible as I anticipated remains to be seen, but I'm looking forward to Saturday and getting a look at the second episode.

Karen Gillan was also very good as Amy Pond. The character strikes me as having enough depth to be more than a one series wonder, although I'll admit to being faintly irritated that she's yet another earth woman leaving behind her boring boyfriend to go gallivanting with The Doctor. Why don't any of them invite their partners along? If I was going to go roaring off around time and space and seeing the greatest wonders the universe has to offer, I'd want the person I love alongside me. Will they-Won't they plotlines annoy me slightly, so I'm hoping it doesn't go down that route in the long term.

Unsurprisingly, the writing was excellent and happily devoid of the jarring clang of false awe and sentimentality so common when Russell T. Davies was writing the big openers. With Steven Moffat in charge and behind the typewriter this isn't a great shock (he's the man who wrote "Blink", after all), I'm holding out high hopes for the other writers as the series goes on.

Could have been supposed to be the tardis' heartbeat monitor as that obviously 'regenerated' with the doctor and he may have been switching it off to signify completion of regeneration. There was one point where i got the impression there may be a running story similar to the 'bad wolf' one in the first new series but i'll have to watch the episode again to have another look.

Also thought the new theme tune was a bit weak.

For my money, the frequency thing was a voice stress analysis. Amy had just asked The Doctor if there was anything she should know about (Or words to that effect, it's been a day and a half since I saw it.), to which The Doctor looked pensive, hesitated and replied "No", before the oscilloscope did its wibbly-wobbly line thing and he switched it off. New-Who is addicted to foreshadowing future developments.

Must say I was pleasantly surprised. I was a bit worried that Matt Smith
was a little young for the role.But pleased to see I was wrong.

Not sure about the 'new theme music' but it may grow on me.

Didn't think this weeks was as good as last but it's the daleks do world war two next week so it'll kick off again. I think some of tonights might have been the first stuff they shot with the new doctor he didn't look as sure of himself.

i thought it was a great episode! good start indeed!

plus notice another crack appearing in this weeks ep, like the crack last week....... a sign?

I think the cracks are going to be this series' "Bad Wolf" or "Mr Saxon", if they keep appearing.

Oh, and Karen Gillan, who plays Amy, is gorgeous.

the cracks join pandoric and silence for the ongoing arc...

Enjoyed the second episode very much. Good chemistry developing between the Doctor and Amy, who is very pretty and quite feisty, and I'm looking forward to the Daleks do WW2 next week.

Getting into the new series, its picking up niceley. Was a good start last week and continued the good performances and chemistry between the leads this week.

Thought it was pretty weird this week.
Looking forward to getting back to "normality" with Winston Churchill and the Daleks.
Love the new girl.
