Oh, I figured since we were all trolling.... 
Oh very funny. You should do stand up..
It's ok everyone, you can stand down from throwing the women & children overboard, he was only joking....

Oh, the joys of being a mod with a God complex.
Thinking of snuffing out our existence with a mere wave of the hand, who do you think you are?
Oh, a mod, yeah, anyway... Ahem...
Yeah, i caved. I read a few reviews.
I was adament i wouldnt, but i just did, but i read a spoiler free review.Positive, some negative, but ultimately, i hate reviews as i would rather see it first and then have a kind of personal review as to what i think, rather than seeing it with ideas from others first.
Im still holding off finding out how Amy and The Doctor meet, but like the rest of us, given the clip and rumours around the mill, that a five minute jump will, most definately, turn into a few years.
But on the whole, they sound positive, i cant wait.
Only a week and two days...
Heh. If you want, I can write your review of "The Eleventh Hour" right now. I may use the word "silly".

Oh, I could never snuff out the Doctor Who forum.
I might remove it from the forum list for a few twats, though.

No names please, people... no names.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm warming up the Matt Smith and Amy Pond; his opening episode feels much in the same vain as a RTD "event" episode yet with Moffat overtones, and a slightly more cinematic feel. This season's Big Bad is the Crack in the fabric of space (the Crack in Amy's room turned up on the TARDIS' scope towards the end). The best part of this episode was when we're shown the montage of the last ten Doctors to those weird eyeball aliens (could they be part of the Shadow Proclamation, a few tiers up from the ground pounding Judoon?).
The Shadow Proclamation was described by RTD as being like a universe wide UN, the Atraxi are more than likely a part of it since they responded to the Doctor's call to return to the Earth and answer for their actions.
These eyeball aliens are called the Atraxi and the starships they go around in remind me of that Shadow Proclamation space facility in "The Stolen Earth", made out of greenish-blue crystal, implying a link.
So, the 11th hour
1. Great opening scene with the Dr hanging out of the Tardis. Glad he managed to miss St George's tower after it had been rebuilt since last time
2. Title music/sequence has been subtly altered, seems much more Tom Bakerish?
3. The post-regenetative Dr has cravings just like the Master did. At least his didn't lead to cannabalism
4. The young Scottish Amelia is lovely, nice to meet a kid on TV who doesn't try to talk 'street' or like the Children's Film Foundation. So heartbreaking for little her waiting for the Dr to return. Did her Aunt really leave a 7 year old girl alone in the house alone? The 'You're Scottish, fry something!" gag is forgiveable as Steven Moffat IS Scottish.
5. You just knew that grown up Amelia couldn't be a real policewoman and had to be a stripper/hooker etc, when did you last see a real WPC with long red-painted fingernails, seamed stockings and a micro-miniskirt (in fact when did you last see a WPC in a skirt?)
6. Ok, I now pronounce Amelia the second sexiest companion ever, just ahead of Peri/Martha, equal with Amazing Grace and just behind Ace.
7. Nice little dig about the shut post office. But what's the significance of the duck pond? And why was the fire engine just parked up by the green?
8. Lovely cameo from Sir Patrick Moore, hope we see more of him. Hope he shacks up with Amelia's aunt.
9. Amelia watches the Dr disrobing? She's interested in him or maybe she's just used to people getting naked because of her job?
10. Who is Amelia marrying? Nurse Ray or himbo Geoff? (Surely he would have no problem getting a girlfriend?) This means that the Dr has a second runaway bride?
11. I think the new Tardis is a little OTT. I think my favourite is still the 7/8th Doctor's version we see in the TV movie. Speaking of which nice to once again see 8th Dr/Paul McGann in the flashbacks, cementing him as canon.
Coming attractions look excellent, looking forward to Spitfires vs Flying Saucers (almost as much as machinegun toting Edwardian Schoolboys vs reanimated scarecrows). Anyone want to bet that Amelia will become a Bride of Dracula (if only temporarily)? Ameila vs crippled Cyberman also looks fun although a bit disturbed by the sight of the Dr with a gun again?
All told, very very good and certainly on a par with the Tennant years. My only complaint would be that the central villain wasn't that good
8/10 maybe even 9?

Ace is sexy? Wow, just when I was starting to think that life couldn't surprise me anymore!
There was once a survey asking 'What does your favourite companion say about you?'. Mine was Ace and apparently that meant I went through puberty in the late 80s which indeed I did. Check her out in 40s stockings in Curse of Fenric and her low cut top in Ghostlight
