Dr Who returns to form

Brilliant first episode.Capaldi fantastic in the role, it's a pity he has had to wait this long for the writing to do him justice imho.
Pearl Mackie is a real find and an excellent reason for getting back into the Tardis.

Great opener - and a nod to McCoy's Doctor, the Movellans, River, "Waters of Mars" and a great intro for 'Bill' - with Capaldi at his quirky best.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Me too; I must admit to being a fan of Matt Smith as the best doctor.

You need to let go and move on.

I liked it (and Matt Smith was one of my faves).
I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.

I like Peter Capaldi just not this episode.

It was sort of nothing.
