Aye. For crying out loud, it was simulcast all over the world. It's not like you'd run into spoilers from UK Whovians because of the time difference.

Anyway ... mind = blown.

NAY. I know a lot of people who are seeing it in theaters tonight. Not everyone gets BBCA. I say tomorrow morning we can discuss the ep, but let's wait until then.

I watched it live on BBC iPlayer this afternoon (Downton Abbey after it - but on ITV!). It is a REALLY good episode. Laughed, cried, and shook my fist at Steven Moffat!

The one spoiler I WILL give is that Sherlock series 3 will be on the BBC on 1 January (I don't know when PBS will be airing it)!!!

I was disappointed. It felt rushed and choppy.

Some nice moments, though, and I am looking forward to Capaldi's Doctor.

I was underwhelmed by this episode and it felt overloaded with trying to resolve all of the plot points from the Smith era.

Also feel cheated with how Moffat has now tweaked the Regeneration Cycle; which leads me to say, I miss the simple regenerations; these regens are too over-the-top and bombastic, to say the least.

I agree.

I don't mind them changing the rules of regeneration (and to be honest, for a show to last this long in the same continuity, they'd have to relax them), but let's be honest. The War Doctor only existed because Eccleston wouldn't come back. Knowing this makes me feel like the continuity is fraudulent.

Overall, I'm glad they went with Peter Capaldi, who I think will bring fresh atmosphere to the show. I can't wait until we see what outfit he chooses; Matt Smith caused a bow tie and fezz surge.

If he faces THE MASTER....

They revealed Capaldi's outfit today. Can one of the picture wizards on here find it and post it please? It looks very classy and elegant.

Classy and very enigmatic of the 1st Doctor.
