New Who

I've watched the first new episode, and there's some good acting and some bad acting. The woman playing Amy (the new companion) gets two thumbs up, but the new Doctor? Oy. It's like he's the bad fanfic version of the last one. I can't figure out if it's just that it's a spectacularly bad example of acting, if he's trying too hard to impersonate the last bloke, if it's the writing (which is way more RTD level than I was hoping for, honestly), or if it's a mixture of all of the above as well as the phase of the moon, the weather in Bognor, and whether the Queen's in residence or not.

Here's hoping next week will be better.
