The theme though...yeah...needs work there. If you can drop in to the BBC Who site and listen to the theme in isolation, it grows on you - because you can appreciate the complexity. I might be hearing things, but the themes seems to be a rendition of the several versions melded into a coherent whole - elements of majesty from the 8th Doctor theme, orchestra from the 9th/10th, synth from the earlier incarnations... Layer upon layer. Okay, listened to it again...now I know why I don't like it. It's the first few bars...the new melody line that precedes the familiar part of the theme. It's distracting and it drowns out the the bass line (aka "the sound of the drums"). The rest of the remix isn't too bad, however.

I liked the new music, lots of subtle throw-backs to classic era themes. I liked the intro too, a much more threatening Time Vortex for what has been hinted at being a darker series.
Has anyone watched the Virtual TARDIS Tour on the BBC website? My favourite touch was that the TV & typewritter have Magpie Electricals logos on them, very geeky, very cool.

Matt Smith was perfectly solid as the Doctor. While he has the comic timing down, I think the most refreshing things about him so far are a lack of angst... Hate to rain on the parade there, but do bear in mind that the angsty side of the Tenth Doctor didn't really kick in until a few episodes in. Up until then, I had hopes that he was going to be a more happy go lucky Doctor as well. Still, early days, as the Doctor said himself.

I like the new intro music. Has a much more sinister tone which fits really well IMO.
I wasn't sure about Matt Smith but he grew on me very quickly. I like his Doctor.
Amy Pond is both stunningly gorgeous and a likeable personality. I just hope that the companion and boyfriend nonsense doesn't rear it's head again.
Ok, things I didn't like. The whole settling into the new generation and food scene. About five minutes too long IMO.
Also, the SFX for the flying eyeball was terrible. Dissapointing.
But other than that, I thoughly enjoyed it.

Hullo, folks, Since here in Canada we're behind on the New Who by two episodes, for those who are interested, here is my blog review of "The Eleventh Hour"... jkahane.livejournal.com/378345.html
