Clearly the first episode takes place hard on the heels of his transformation or whatever you call it.

Regeneration. And yes, he was still cooking.

They're definitely pushing the mad man with a box angle.

So far, so good with Eleven, although he mumbled so much of the computer stuff that I had no clue what was going on in that gorgeous guy's bedroom.

Except, of course, for "Get a girlfriend!" I think I Teppy-laughed at that point.

That, and "Erase your Internet history!"

Doctor Who geek the Flick Filosopher has some intriguing speculation about Amy Pond which doesn't include any spoilers, but does highlight some well-hidden possible clues from the first episode.

And speaking of Amy Pond, the little girl who played the young Amelia is a cousin of Karen Gillan's, and she was excellent in the part.

I'm wondering whether his newness is part of what was happening last night. Clearly the first episode takes place hard on the heels of his transformation or whatever you call it.

Yes, some of his behavior was bugging me until I remembered that 10 slept through the aftermath of his regeneration so I figure this is what it looks like when you try to function while you're still "cooking".

And speaking of Amy Pond, the little girl who played the young Amelia is a cousin of Karen Gillan's, and she was excellent in the part.

Double-fun fact: They had never actually met! What a very odd first family encounter.

Enjoyed "The Eleventh Hour" immensely, even if I had to watch it fairly deep into the morning hours because of other commitments. (Thank you, DVR!) Matt Smith is fun, and I think he's going to be a great Doctor.

Amy Pond, however, is wonderful, and I'm terribly much looking forward to seeing how the damage the Doctor's unwitting did to her plays out. Because seriously? Amy's got issues. Big ones. And really, I'm kind of looking forward to that.

It was like all the best fairy tales, where there was a psychosexual semantic level to the whole thing which was both engaging and deeply, deeply disturbing.

Really liking Amy and willing to let Eleven grow on me. I had to make a mental shift from Nine to Ten, and then Ten became My Doctor.

Eleven is geeky and odd which is what I remember of the Doctor from twenty years ago. So I think I will grow to be fond of Eleven, it will just take a bit.

I don't like his looks. I guess after really digging Nine and Ten, it's not a surprise that that is one of my complaints. We'll see whether he grows on me.

I don't like his looks.

Well, he does have hair and a forehead that are disturbingly reminiscent of Dawson Leery.

Sorry folks, someone had to point it out.
