Just finished the first episode of Dr Who season 8. I'm impressed. The pacing is dramatically different from the previous 7 seasons - much slower, much less off-the-wall insane "OMG whooooa everything's exploding", more thoughtful. Feels more real. A hell of a lot more creepy than any episode since Blink, but still just as funny. As advertised, the Doctor is very, very different from the recent incarnations, but still the Doctor. Best of all, Jenna Coleman actually gets to act this time instead of just flirt - and whadyaknow, she's good at it. Wish they'd realised that last season, but better late than never.
I liked the new title sequence much more than the preview version that was floating around, although the revamped theme tune is weird. The Eccelston/Tennat era version was my favourite by far. As for the new TARDIS interior, it looks identical to the last one.
Conclusion : this bodes well.
