Did you see the new Who ?

[Captain Big Trousers]

Normally when I've doubted the casting of new doctors or companions, I've warmed to them after an episode or two. I got Karen Gillan's Amy Pond immediately, first scene. However, Jenna Louise Coleman just isn't working for me - she's more wooden than Pinocchio. And because Matt Smith is now bouncing off a smirking plank, it makes him seem stiff in turn. He certainly doesn't seem to be having as much fun as he did last season. Add to that the late Series 7 return of studio floors and wobbly walls, and I fear Doctor Who has taken a huge leap backwards. It may (may) still be amusing to seven year olds, but it's no longer retaining the production values to keep me amused as an adult. My 12y/o has called most of the last seven episodes "stupid". They're losing a fan there.

The new Cybermen are a huge step backwards, design-wise.* Trying to morph them into Iron Man clones is a cheap trick and the end result is a mish-mash of elements that no longer retain the pure art-deco inspired theme of their last iteration. Also their faces look too round, which makes them look like Cyber-Iron-Babies. I guess the BBC want to sell more toys.

Less redesigning and more concentration on scripts/acting/action please.

I loved it! It thought it was a great update and a fun episode. Plus is scared the crap out of my 2 kids.

This was the first cyber story that didn't terrify my 8 year old - tomb of the cybermen scarred her alot more a couple months back

I am starting to wonder if Souffle Girl, will become the next Dr. who for the 25th Anni, you know how the doctor has problems remembering after regen. well that make me think that is why she is impossible, is because she came back as the doctor and then just started aimlessly travelling without even knowing "who" she is?

well that is one way to explain how she ended up in the future (dalek space station episode) past (as nanny in victorian england) and then in our time now, as someone always trying to save the world. Just like the doctor would.

Or maybe she's Jenny in a later regeneration?

It's not the full Doctor Who experience unless it scared you as a kid. Funny thing; most of the folks I met at university didn't watch the show as kids because it scared them so bad. One dude couldn't even get past the opening MUSIC as a kid. One of my best friends watched "Planet of Spiders" on PBS as an afternoon matine for his first episode, and he had nightmares for so long his parents forbade him from watching.

I'm guessing she has something to do with River Song considering Moffat is totally obsessed with River

Or Souffle Girl is a young River Song sans the bleach

[Mikey]

I can only imagine what he's going to do with River in the 50th anniversay episode

I hope a CGI William Hartnell slaps her

[johnnystorm]

I'm thinking Clara is:

a)A regenerated Susan
b) A regenerated Romana
c)Another Time-Lord and Gallifrey still exists somehow

I hope a CGI William Hartnell slaps her

Or a CGI Jon Pertwee gives her a karate chop.

[Bruce Banner]

With any luck, Leela might use a Janus Thorn on her.

I see Matt Smith now has a buzz-cut for a movie role. Is he finished with Who, or will it be wigs for a while?

I hope he regenerates into Tom Baker.

[Mikey]

I heard they accidently released the last episode on DVD in the USA already this past week

Still looking for correct spoilers
