I liked it, but it's like Christmas Invasion for me. A lot of time spent dealing with the regeneration, a decent enough foe, but nothing too compelling. The next episode will be the true test for me.

i still havent watched 'The Time of the Doctor'.. it's been sitting on my DVR unwatched since Christmas... Series 7 just had so many episodes that were a chore to watch that its hard for me to get excited for it.. The Power of Three worked (but it seemed like a RTD episode) and Cold War was enjoyable, but The Rings of Akhaten and Crimson Horror were two of my least favorite episodes from any series.. i'm not really a fan of Vastra and Strax, so I was kind of hoping we left them behind with Series 7..

i'll probably get caught up soon, since Doctor Who is usually a show i can have on around the little one, but two bad episodes in a row are enough to get me to drop the series altogether at this point.

I thought it was a top notch episode.

1. Peter Capaldi is an amazing Doctor.

2. Hopefully Peter Capaldi weeds out all the fakers who only like the Doctor for his looks.

3. Master must return as either A. A ginger(and tease capaldi about it). B. A girl(attract female fans and shut feminists up).

Also I think Tom Hiddleston or Patrick Stewart would make a great master.

Finally got a chance to watch the Series 8 Permier the other night and I loved it. Peter Capaldi is an amazing Doctor and I loved all the throw backs to earlier seasons as well as the cameo.

Has it been announced yet if/when series 8 will start popping up on hulu or netflix? I haven't had cable in years but I'm about to finish Matt Smith's tenure and I'd love to jump right into the new doctor...

And yes I googled my question first but came up empty handed.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Netflix won't get it until a few months after the DVD release comes out. Hulu should be getting it soon.

Hell Netflix just got the last bit of series 7 (50th special and the Christmas) special a few weeks ago.

If you're in a hurry canofhumdingers and you have a PS3, Xbox 360 or Xbox One then download the new episodes and stream them to the system or put them on a thumb drive and play off that. That's what I've done in the past.

While Into the Dalek was pretty derivative of a lot of other stuff I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

Finally, back from vacation and fresh off some furniture buying and minor remodeling and finally with the chance to watch the first episode of series 8. I love Capaldi and I love the change in tone; bit more serious, less manic, longer shots and less rapid cutting, but still fun and funny, still adventure... and how great is Clara? I thought she was unimpressive in Series 7 and they began really getting the hang of her character in the two specials. Now she's becoming fantastic. I can already tell that Clara and the Doctor's banter is gonna be a real highlight.

I watched the first half of Into the Dalek last night and loved it - but I stopped because I wanted to watch the first episode first so I DVRed the second showing... but somehow it wasn't recorded (I hope it was my mistake and not the DVR). I guess I'll wait 'till it's reran next Saturday.

I haven't watched tonight's episode yet, but I did have a chance to watch last Friday's episode today. A lot of the promotional material for the latest incarnation of the Doctor took pains, at least image wise, to draw parallel's with Jon Pertwee's Doctor (3).

But on watching "Into the Dalek" and the way Capaldi's Doctor acted/reacted reminded me quite a bit of William Hartnell's performance (Doctor #1) particularly from the beginning serials of the show. It actually makes a lot of sense for Capaldi to reflect a bit of early Hartnell Doctor considering Capaldi's Doctor is the first of a new set of regenerations.

[lhb412]

I really, really, really like Capaldi.

... and this series, it just feels back-to-basics, and I mean that in that in the best way.

[MekaGojira3k]

Listen was a cool episode. I went in expecting one thing and what I got, while different, was just as great. Unless something terrible happens, this may be the most I've enjoyed Doctor Who since Tennant left. (Although I did enjoy the 2nd half o Series 7 a lot).

Dawwctor Who.

Haven't seen Listen but did anyone else notice the sorta subtle bird the Doctor flips to Robin Hood?
