Avoiding reading most of this thread because I just started watching Doctor Who on Saturday and I don't want spoilers, but I have it from a reputable source that Brian Blessed will definitely be the next Doctor.

Eventually watched Saturday's episode. Not as bad as I was expecting, it was fairly enjoyable.
We'll see how long this lasts.
*will be a downer for the whole season*
I'll take BRIAN BLESSED (his name should always be spelled in all capitals) in whatever role they'll cast him in.
Notably it won't be his first appearance in the show.
Well, I wasn't really a fan of that episode. I hate kids.
The setting and whatnot was pretty cool though so it wasn't terrible. And I quite liked Matt Smith's speech. He's good at speeches.
Also, Davos. DAVOS. DAVOS SEAWORTH!
I thought it was quite a sweet episode. And the kid was fine, not overly saccharine or anything.
Still too much 'sonic screwdriver sorts out a situation' though!
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
Better than singing open a secret door. Come on.
Actually the more I think about it there were a lot of things I liked, I just didn't like the kid. The creepy smurfers were pure nightmare fuel, well done to whoever conceived those.
The penny just dropped. Shoes and ships and sealing wax, not ceiling wax as i always thought! Thank you Doctor Who!
Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
Have a nice day!!
The end of the episode gave me feels for Clara and the Doctor.
And I do like the singing-the-door-open-ceremony stuff. It was pretty and majestic. The last song made a nice backdrop to the Doctor's speech.
AND LIAM CUNNINGHAM IN THE NEXT EPISODE.
Interesting to see positive reactions here, seemingly everywhere else I've seen online people HATED the episode. Such a poor reception puzzles me, I thought it was slight but there's been a lot worse since the show was resurrected.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
I actually was surprised the doctor didnt sympaphise with the giant sun god.
