Doctor Who

[Bort]

I thought it had a pretty good setup with a mostly crap payoff.  The narrator told us all the interesting things that were happening (the Doctor and the Silence team up!) without actually showing them to us.  And then they decided they really needed to show us the Doctor sending away Clara twice.

Still, Matt Smith's last scene made it worth it and I think I'm going to like Capaldi.

I pretty much agree. I thought it was mostly enjoyable, but with some deep flaws. Smith nailed it as an actor as usual, and I have high hopes for Capaldi.

no Karen Gillan? Well I'm not watching this crap then.

1. Well, there was a little Karen Gillan

2. Jenna Louise Coleman does not hurt my eyes at all.

This is correct.

So I was expecting a tearful emotional send-off and an amazing episode. It was alright I guess.

I started watching the series about a year ago. It generally hits the same part of my brain that holds my love of shows like Buffy and Angel, and is highly entertaining. So far I haven't disliked a Doctor or companion, although my best friend hated Smith for Tennant. Companionwise, it's hard to beat Karen Gillan, although Billie Piper has to be the second best (despite being on a number of my least favourite episodes).

Anyone watching the current season? I'm burning my way through the series on a second go-round before I start, but I'm pretty excited for the new episodes. /necrothread
