I had two problems with this episode. Meera Syal is someone I quite like in other things but she failed to convince here. And the other thing: why did they go to all that hassle fortifying the church, setting up cameras etc when they could all have gone and waited it out in the TARDIS?
Best line had to be Rory's "That is rubbish" when he found out the screwdriver didn't work on wood.

The Tardis is always underused. I'm not sure why. Maybe the writers think it's too easy.

My just six year old would say: "It's NOT scary Dad" at this stage.
Although looking at his face when it's one I'm not so sure...

Yipchaa!
One thing I've noticed about this series is that it seems much scarier and playing on simple fears more than the RTD series.

I've got used to him and started to think he's doing a good job, was expecting much worse.

i wouldn't say i'm surprised by matt smith being so good, but i'm happy he's proved a lot of people's (possibly justifiable) doubts wrong

WW Tyrion do?
No, he was told it had all ended happily but not allowed to watch. When I spoke to him about it he was fine with that, he liked dr who but it made him cry so he agrees he shouldn't watch it 'til he's older

I love the way he's playing the dr, my favourite since baker and very troughton'esque. He plays him with old eyes and a heavy heart, but not in the way DT did, which I also really liked but he did get a bit mopey by the end. I think the way he switches between curious, fun, serious and cold is very timelord and especially effective .

And the hands.
He's got the hand thing going on, and its very good.

He's convincingly alien, and that's a good thing. In the most recent episode, his expression when he realises he's just plain forgotten about the young boy is wonderful. Mind you, watching interviews with Matt Smith - the man himself is a bit other. To a lesser extent, so is Karen Gillan, and the pair of them seem to have ridiculous chemistry together. The casting people were probably high-fiving and dancing down the street when that pair turned up.

The best my old school can manage is Alan Hansen. Turning out robotic dullards since 1969.

They have to be humanised in order for us to feel the Doctors pain as he wipes out yet another species on next saturday.

I've seen next week's episode.
They sit around a conference table and talk at each other, like the fucking Star Trek aliens they resemble.

Sorry!
Sorry!
I hope someone wipes YOUR species out.

the promos i've got don't have the credits or trailers for next episodes, but as far as i know, they're complete apart from that. of course, you can't actually know for sure until the episode gets aired. might be different for the big stories of course, not 100% on that

No, the preview discs are usually full episodes, minus the odd little thing (Rose's cameo in season 4, ep1 was cut, for instance). The only time they're heavily cut is when there's a big "To Be Continued" - they chopped the Daleks off the end of Army of Ghosts, and the Doctor's fake regeneration off of The Stolen Earth (though anyone with half a brain could work out what the cliffhangers were in both cases).
ETA: oh yeah, the credits music is sometimes missing (or altered - season 5 ep1 had the old David Tennant title sequence), and we don't get the Next Time trailers.
