I think it will after it finishes in the UK. I think it's still airing right now. iPlayer isn't our only hope, "There is another..."

It is. Looks like it goes up after about 20 minutes of airing. And WST... tis not nice to kid. I still didn't figure a way to download off the iPlayer site.
 
I'm just going to download them the old fashioned way. As long as I see it today I will be fine and the world will be spared my fanboy retribution. :lol
 
well i liked it

new green sonic screwdriver
wasn't keen on matt smith before tonight but he'll do well with the doctor and had a few inspired moments and some funny stuff

loved seeing the old doctors at the end

I actually liked Smith before seeing the special

didn't like the
theme song though, well the start of it, the new tardis look cool also, Kinda get a disco vibe from it though

yeah

they change the music quite drastically but the visuals in the intro were awesome
the preview of the new series looked good
 
My verdict,

New title sequence = Music starts a bit weird but is OK and the new "time vortex" thing is excellent.

11th Doctor = F'ing awesome.

Matt Smith sounds wayyy more convincing than Tennant and even made some of the cheesy humor sound genuinely funny so I think he has what it takes to make even the worst scripts watchable which again is a distinct step up in quality for the revived series.

Aside from spouting a few distinct Tennant-isms which I overlooked considering the character has just regenerated I got some distinct hints of other Doctors in there, he even went all boggly eyed like Tom at one point!

Amy Pond = MUCH easier on the eyes and ears than Donna, I just hope she doesn't end up falling in love with the Doctor as that angle has been done to death in Nu-Who already.

The story = Pretty basic but it did it's job of setting things up for the rest of the series. I thought the CGI was crappy but the montage of all the Doctors was very well done.

It will take a lot more to convince me a new "Golden Age" is upon us but it's looking like it'll be big step up in quality from the "Turd Brown Age" that was the RTD era.

10 is dead, long live the 11th!

Takes a bit of getting used to but it was quite fun. I always love when they show
all the Doctors. Plus it looks like River is back for at least 2 or 3 episodes.
 
Loved it. Thought it could have been trimmed a bit for better pacing.

The parts with young Amy were charming and sweet as hell and loved their modern introduction. I wish this first ep had more of them together but that's just a minor quibble. Then, while funny, I felt horrible the Doctor came late after testing out the TARDIS AGAIN. Then seasons off to a great start!
 
Watched it....Devoured it....Loved it. Now Spoilers

right when she said "can you get me back by tomorrow morning" I was thinking, she's getting married isn't she....and then you see her dress :lol

You guys notice the crack on the screen at the end matched the crack on Amy's wall when she was a child........Something more than meets the eye about that.

Going to watch it again later tonight for more analysis


:drool:drool:drool:drool:drool Time for me to move to Scotland

All of you guys who loved the episode, All I have to say is

I still haven't watched it. :(

I just barely started to download it. Reading Brendan's appraisal was encouraging though. :lol
 
Just thought of it....didn't the doctor get his sonic screwdriver in a plant in the 50th century that is now a banana plant.....???
