In the RTD whoniverse they really are magical devices that can get the Doctor out of any scrape; I know everyone is continually attached to their mobiles these days, but does that mean every episode has to be about how amazing they are?<br />*ahem* Anyway, it did give me a bit of concern to see mobile phones used again in Eleventh Hour, but at least the taking pictures bit made sense.<br /><br />@Hokus Bloke - But his hair is so fabulous! And apparently self styling, as a short time after being soaked by a swimming pool library it is back to looking swish and awesome again. ;)<br /><br />The old enemies coming back does seem to have divided people. Personally I find the Cybermen incredibly boring, but Marty assures me he has listened to a really good Cyberman story that makes them all interesting and cool, so I'm hoping Moffat can produce something like that for us.<br /><br />All in all, I'm looking forward to the next episode, and like Martyn, I haven't said that for a long time. :)senny dreadfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060196615482952688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392050901290304059.post-1354422956251785162010-04-07T14:04:38.761+01:002010-04-07T14:04:38.761+01:00As someone who works within the Who-niverse, I tho...As someone who works within the Who-niverse, I thought the reboot/restart/whateveryoucallit was excellent. Matt Smith blends the best bits of Troughton, Baker, Davidson, McCoy & Tennant while bringing a lot of his own uniqueness. I thought the hair was a little TOO much, but c'est la vie. Amy Pond is an interesting companion, yes with great legs, who possibly only needs to clear up her diction and sort out the accent to be a winner (Scottish or Irish?). The story was fun and enthralling, even if the monster was a little same old-same old. All in all it was a rollicking good ride. Sadly the new theme and opening are a little drab, missing some punch and also, in audio terms, feeling a little flat. My only BIG grumble was the trailer at the end...oh dear god we have to put up with YET MORE daleks and YET MORE cybermen. I really hoped SM was going to go somewhere new this season. But I suppose the toys need to be sold to recoup the costs and increase the profits.<br /><br />So here's to a Matt Smith future, and Amy's legs. May they be with us for many years to come.<br /><br />I'll go back to making DW audiobooks now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392050901290304059.post-63776983334592673332010-04-07T13:26:02.711+01:002010-04-07T13:26:02.711+01:00Thank for the post, agree totally.

(I mean come on, using a Nokia phone to destroy a Cyberman invasion by plugging it into a very convenient socket on the control panel? I struggle to find a bloody charger that fits!) <br /><br />Moan aside though Moffat's stories were always strong, and this new season looks like it's going to be a real cracker. The DW/Pond relationship has a real energy already and Matt Smith won me over in about 60 seconds. <br /><br />Genuinely looking forward to next week's show now, which is something I've never really felt since the return of Who. Thanks Moffat for giving me hope! :)Martyn Darklyhttp://www.truebrit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3392050901290304059.post-84845077668591829072010-04-07T00:10:37.387+01:002010-04-07T00:10:37.387+01:00Oh aye, but the Daily Hate Mail only sticks that p...Oh aye, but the Daily Hate Mail only sticks that poor excuse for reporting on it's website because it knows it's readership will get all riled up about it.

It...I really like the new theme and title sequence. It feels quite indicative of the change in the show - away from the old 'Look at me! This is loud and exciting! LOOK AT ME!' theme and towards something more subdued. Even if you don't, it's only fifty bloody seconds.<br /><br />I also have to say, in... hang on a second, I can do this. In... In de... *strains* in defence of the Daily Mail, they were really just reporting on viewers complaining about the 'sexiness', and there was nothing in that article which had the Mail itself moaning about it.
