Nah. I see what it's trying to do, but something about this "arrangement" just really lacks energy. I might get used to it, but it's a definite step down.

I know that. I was replying to the person who said that we don't exactly when this takes place and could be pre-CoE. Just idle speculation.

Having finally seen the premiere on television (yay, SPACE!), I actually think the new theme arrangement sounds better than I thought before, though it still seems to be lacking some "oomph" -- needs more bass maybe?
Other thoughts after this viewing:
- "Beans are evil. Bad, bad beans."
- Looove Gold's music while little Amelia packs her suitcase (and which reprises at the end while she "tours" the TARDIS; could this be Amy's Theme?) Really beautiful, and I can't wait for the CD.
- "Do I just have a face that no one listens to? Again?"
- I love the scene with the Doctor and Amy when he shows her the apple she gave him 12 years earlier. But what was with that weird blue lens flair that crept into the middle of the shot? Natural, or added for some reason in post?
- "I'm definately a mad man with a box."
Matt Smith is off to a brilliant start, and I can't wait till next week! Oh and I also liked that "Doctor Who: An Ultimate Guide" beforehand. Nice treat before the main event.

It's so cute the way she props her hand underneath her chin
Glad that now America has seen it. Now Matt and Karen can stop going to screenings LOL. They can probably quote the entire "The Eleventh Hour" by now.

I think he's gorgeous.

Actually if we're in nitpicking mode, it's not a "song".
Re: Doctor Who – The 11th Hour (5x01) - (Discuss – Grade | SPOILERS) U
Loved it.
I like the look. Heck it would be fun to dress up as him for an upcoming convention.

Dating myself a bit, I've been around long enough to see the premieres of eight of the eleven Doctors, and Matt Smith's debut is my new favorite. I totally went into this with an open mind and without any spoilers, so I had a blast the entire episode. It was great seeing a newly-regenerated Doctor up and running again from the get-go, while still occasionally letting us know he wasn't still all there yet.
To me, there's a little bit of the Sixth Doctor's sarcastic wit in the Eleventh, but also this oddly mix of youthful enthusiasm and ancient maturity. While I like all the Doctors, Smith's has the potential to be my new favorite.
And like a total geek, I watched it with my brand new Eleventh Doctor sonic screwdriver right alongside my TV remote...
I kept hearing about how godwaful terrible the new opening theme music was, but I actually like it better than the previous one myself.
I loved it when the Doctor looked at the new TARDIS and said "Look at you...you sexy thing!" Yes, I like a Doctor who isn't so stuffy and can be goofy from time to time.
And I used to think I was the only one who still wore rolled up trousers with Doc Martins...

I liked this as well, along with his lines "I'm still cooking" at the beginning and "I'm not done yet" later at the duck pond, as though he was some meal being cooked in an oven.C.E. Evans said:

Quite a long thread and I'm just getting here. Thank you all for the answers without having to ask them. Especially why she was so many different professions.
Sounds a bit like Sally Sparrow.
I have no idea who this actor is but I'll give him a few episodes to get to know him. As a friend noted, the character of the Doctor is greater than any actor portraying him.
I'm still in love with the cheesy Dr WHO visual effects. While some are quite good, we still have the over the top ones. And that's the way I likes them.
The music volume was overpowering the dialog at some points and made it tough to understand. The accents can be tough enough with out compounding them.
Overall pretty good. Looking forward to more.

That was a really interesting episode, with the "PRISONER ZERO WILL VACATE THE HUMAN RESIDENCE, OR THE HUMAN RESIDENCE WILL BE INCINERATED."

"Your life may depend on it...". I was thinking just what he said, he is a madman with a box. Maybe moreso now than ever?
In the duck pond scene, I felt like he was doing a good combination of 1 & 6 "...then how do you know it's a duck pond?". And he reminds me a little of 2 at times, aside from the clothes, even though I've seen almost no Troughton scenes/episodes.
The TARDIS has a sonic screwdriver dispenser! Smaller than Voyager's shuttle maker to be sure.
Over all, the episode had a lot of running about (as before) and is a good episode, but I've re-watched the last 15-20 minutes a few times. The past Doctors montage is always cool. It's interesting how much alien races seem to know about who the Doctor has been before.
Matt definitely starts right out being the Doctor.

Yeah it's not too bad really. I never really liked the RTD era orchestral version that much. If anything, I think this new one still has too many strings in it, they should have made it a little more electronic, but I think it's an improvement overall..

It wasn't until my second viewing that I made out the word "vacate". For some reason it was really giving me trouble. It obviously makes sense, but whether it was because of the deep voice or the "interference" as it came over radios and such, it was giving me a hard time.

Can anyone tell me what the Doctor was saying in the scene where he was typing on Jeff's laptop, just before he looked up and said "My fault, I slept in"? I've listened about a dozen times and I still can't make it out, and it's driving me nuts! Thanks!
