Four Things And No Lizard... Or What I Thought of The Eleventh Hour
1. Matt Smith - very, very good indeed.
2. Amy Pond is growing on me.
3. New Who - always a good thing.
4. What the HELL have they done to the theme music?
So yes, I watched it, not expecting really to enjoy it. Not because I was one of the 'OMAIGOD TENNANT or NOTHING' fan girls. But because I really couldn't get excited about it. I was a bit meh to be honest. I started to get a bit excited when the trailers started to come out but remained a bit 'Meh, if I don't get my hopes up I wont be disappointed'.
Matt Smith proved to be VERY Doctor-ish. Far more than David Tennant did on his first episode. It took me a long time to love the Tenth Doctor but when I did, it was hard to imagine anyone else in the role. I can see me falling in love with the Eleventh Doctor pretty quickly, not in the way that I fell in love with the Ninth (I've carried a torch for Eccleston for a very LONG time, right back to when he was Jude), but in a 'yeah, he's IS the Doctor' way.
Amy Pond - Little Amelia was lovely and oh poor thing waiting all night for the Doctor. Yeah I can imagine a kid doing that. My daughter would do that. She adores the Doctor if she thought he was coming she would wait all night. GrownUP!Amy is growing on me, I think she'll be a good companion.
New Who - well we're all starved of it aren't we? It was good to see the start of a new series.
New theme music. Oi, Moffat NO! Sorry, I do NOT like it. You can hardly tell that it is the Doctor Who theme music now. I expected it to be jazzed up, they always mess around with it so I expected it but really? It doesn't even sound like Doctor Who.
Oooh yes, one extra! The TARDIS: *LOVES*
