Dr Who

[andrewducker]

I actually liked it quite a lot - except for one bit.

I've basically plonked the Moffat Dr Who as "Well written kid's TV" - more obviously so than RTDs - and thus I don't require things to make _actual_ sense, just to be vaguely internally consistent to the same level as, say, fairy-tales.

This being the case I could have done with a bloody explanation of why having the android recall his human side would any effect on his blowing up! Spitfires in Space, though, I was fine with. Possibly this was because I'd seen them in the trailer though.

Julie, on the other hand, just wanted Ms Pond to stab the Dr with a flagpole and then steal the box to have adventures by herself. Heck, she could even pick up a companion of her own if she fancied it.

I'm not sure how it's more kiddy than, say, New Earth, where the Doctor magically cures everybody by mixing lots of different colours together.

At least Moffat managed to write a farewell scene that didn't take a third of the damn episode; though the real test of that will be next fortnight's two parter.

Maybe it's my bias towards Matt Smith but I've never sat there thinking "this is ONLY a kids show and nothing more" before.

I've had exactly the opposite reaction. =)

Like exactly the opposite. This is the first of the new series that felt like it was at least furtively struggling towards entertaining and intriguing the adults.
