Doctor Who ep 2

Er, hmmm. Well, this episode was better. I still much prefer Amy to the new Doctor, but fortunately he's calming down a bit and is not such a bundle of spinning, incoherent energy. Hopefully that trend will continue. The story in this episode was better, too, with more complexity, more depth, more emotion, and more of the kind of thing I'd been expecting from the new showrunner. The 'big message' was piled on with a trowel, which was the only significant miss for me. Subtlety doesn't appear to have been discovered yet this series. I'm encouraged, though.

Yes, there tends to be a lot of nuttiness immediately there's a new Doctor, but sometimes that nuttiness sticks around, so you can never be sure that things will calm down. If he stayed as bonkers as last week I'd've had a fight between the urge to stop watching him and the urge to keep watching Amy. At the moment I'm definitely staying on the side of continuing to watch. Also waiting for an episode of the calibre of the ones Moffat has written before.
