    Doctor Who- The Beast Below (No Spoilers)

    Really ended up liking this one, especially the way Smith is handling the Doctor. He's not as manic as Tennent but still has his highs and lows.

    The story is basically a way of justifying Amy and it works well, the whole concept is still pretty uniquely "doctor who", I doubt you'd get this kind of tale anywhere else.

    One of the cooler things about this is that it links to Tom Baker's second story "The Ark in Space" with the people of England fleeing after the solar flares.

    Funny how continuity freaks got upset over Eccleston's second story changing the date of the end of the world so Moffat tied this one into the original series continuity. It still won't please the haters but it worked for me.

    I liked this a lot more than the first episode. Still not sure about the Doctor though or the companion.

    Seem to remember seeing the creature in Torchwood.

        I liked this one. This episode made me like the new Doctor a lot more. I wasn't too sure about him at first. I like his new companion. She is pretty cute.

              Another good episode, I liked it a lot but not as much as the opener. The story wasn't bad, Liz Ten was cool and the Smilers were pretty sinister. Smith is turning into one of my favourite Doctors alongside Ecclestone, T. Baker and Troughton. I'm loving the way he's portraying the character, hats off to the casting as it's spot on.

              I'm also loving Amy, not only is she gorgeous but turning out to be a fiesty companian with brains to match her looks. There's something quite mysterious about her too. Next weeks episode looks like a corker, will the Daleks be victorious? Roll on Saturday!

                I must have been watching an episode from a different reality, because even if I found it a bit better than ep 1, it still stunk.

                  I liked this one. The Peter Pan stuff is pretty overt, but the two leads really sell it.

                  I was a bit disappointed in the last one when we discovered that she wasn't a police officer, particularly after having two such wonderfully grounded companions in Donna and Martha.

                  She seems the wistful ingenue, but I'm sure she will surprise us in the end. I appreciate that so far she's kept the screaming to a minimum so far (except for the tubes).
