I thought it was really good. I love Mr Tennant but Matt Smith was excellent.
I cant wait for a return of the Weeping Angels.

I wasn't expecting to love it - I was expecting it to have to grow on me but I was pleasantly surprised.
Did anyone else have to wrestle with their conscience in order to not give the baby an easter egg and some toys with the battery taken out to keep them quiet while Dr Who was on?! I didn't do it - but it was a close thing! Unfortunately we had a poo explosion in the middle - I have never changed a nappy so fast!

I loved it I wasn't expecting to like Matt Smith so much - like some other ladies, I was a firm David Tennant-a-holic, and was really going to miss him. I always knew that I'd love the stories, I think that Stephen Moffat (who's now in charge) is one of the most talented individuals at the BBC. The episodes he's done previously are amongst my favourites. Particularly "Blink" (the original with the weeping angels) and "Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead" (the 2-parter with River Song).
Did anyone else just go "squeeeee!!" at the "Coming soon..." thing at the end? River Song! Weeping Angels! Crazy Cybermen! Daleks with the Union Jack on them?! Vampires?! I am sooooo excited about this series now

The Smiler looks kinda... scary. Which is good. I like scary
I think to say that Stephen Moffat has no new ideas is a bit... well... can't actually think of the word. Considering that Russel T Davies managed to come up with 2 villains in 4 season finales (Daleks twice and The Master twice), I think it's him who was running out of ideas! The last season finale was saved by David Tennant, John Simms and Bernard Cribbons. The plot was dire - bringing the Time Lords back, and that's all he did with them? The whole thing with multiple Masters was just... cringeworthy
As for guessing where the episode was going from the start, my view is that we were allowed to work out as much as the writer wanted us to work out. I thought having a virus that made every digital device read "0" was a great idea, particularly as it didn't really save the day (on its own). Perhaps there are similarities to the dire plotline from the season 3 finale that had everyone thinking of the Doctor, but I thought this one was much better executed.
I know it's to each their own, but I don't think it's fair to say that the man who has come up with a couple of the most original and acclaimed Dr Who episodes ever has no new ideas
Matt Smith will grow on me, I think. I feel for him, as he has a very tough act to follow, with David Tennant being arguably the most popular Doctor since Tom Baker. I thought that Smith's Doctor was similar, but cleverly different. When he called the aliens back to tick them off, that wasn't something I would have imagined 10th Doctor doing.
Really excited to see what the rest of the season brings
