I didn't like the first ep at all really. Just, silly. Really liked the second one...

the first episode was promising but the last two.. meh. When I watch Capaldi I feel like I'm watching Peter Capaldi and not The Doctor..

Me too. I wondered how they were going to work a 'real' Robin Hood in to history.
This is not the same old Doctor. I have a feeling he's going to be one of the more memorable Doctors.

A question based on my first-time watchthrough (I just finished season 3 last night): Do Doctor Who fans/critics really like the episodes "Human Nature/Family of Blood"? I thought they were the worst episodes of TV I've seen this year from any show. The least compelling, most boring, most overwrought, most comically-nostalgic-for-Britain's-past episodes of my DW watchthrough so far.

With about all of the series I've ever watched I know there's going to be a begining, middle, and an end. DW has never had that 'feeling' to it for me.

It did take a long time to get there, yeah. It was a two-episode story that absolutely could have been told in one episode.

John Smith was always subconsciously The Doctor and him emotionally and fiercely asking "Why would I want to go back?" and then of course coming to the realization that his own happiness isn't worth the consequences was such a great moment. The bit at the end when he tries to have closure with her was also fantastic--we see that cold, alien side of him that Tennant does so well and we realize how small we are in comparison and for all the wonderful things he's done to save the day, the bigger picture is terrifying. She makes him admit that no one would have died if he didn't choose that place at that time period to hide on a whim. |

I have tried to watch this show from time to time (get it ha ha) and it must be bad timing (he he) but it just seems to be rather silly. This is a good example of what I am talking about. "This is my spoon!".

I'm not going to read posts in here; I just wanted to say I have started watching this show. It took me a bit to get through the first "season" (the production value and some of the writing was cringe worthy on some episodes), but now I am 9 or 10 into the "season" and I am hooked.
