My sons. They are hooked and they watch the repeats too and I fear I shall never get to watch anything else as long as I live.

They need to buddy up with my DH. I know snippets about it, but the creatures disgust me!

I definitely made sure my new cable was set up today so I wouldn't miss it. I'm slightly addicted to Doctor Who.

I'm in love with the new credits/theme/TARDIS. And the last bit of Raggedy that was there…<333333

I watched, not a fan of the new theme, though I like what they've done to the Tardis.
Nearly fell off my chair when *spoilers*
I heard the voice of eleven (Matt Smith), such a great idea to incorporate him into the episode.
In the end this was not my favorite episode by far, though I'm curious to see where Capaldi goes with this in the next episodes when the Doctor is back to "normal" aka not right after regenerating.

1) Love Capaldi's interpretation of the Doctor.
2) Did not like how soooooooo much of the show was devoted to "selling" Capaldi to the Smith fans. The Doctor regenerates - so what, get over it folks. Even Rose didn't take that long to adjust when 9 became 10.
3) Overall, the story wasn't that great to me.
4) Love the new credits and theme.
Overall, I give it a solid B.

My husband and I went to see a show last night, so we missed it, but that's what the DVR is for. We just got through watching it.
Love the new opening credits.
The jury's still out on Capaldi, but as Tulip86 pointed out, the Doctor is always a little "off" right after regenerating. Not making any judgments until I see how this new Doctor's personality settles out.
*here be spoilers*
I loved the tip of the hat to 11 right there at the end. And Strax being a complete idiot, as per usual <grin>. And Jenny talking back to Madame Vastra - "We're married!" hehehe
I didn't like the way Clara had such huge difficulties adjusting to the Doctor's regeneration. It took that call from 11 for her finally to accept that he was indeed the Doctor and to realize that she needed to help him.

After two episodes:
- Love the new opening credits!
- Capaldi's Doctor is solidly my second favorite Doctor behind Tom Baker.
- It's still impossible for me to like Clara. Yeah, I went there.
- Is Missy just a Sick and twisted Mary Poppins or Deranged Female Time Lord? I want answers!

1. Finally saw both the premiere episode and the 2nd episode last night.
2. I love that the opening credits where inspired/designed by a fan, from YouTube, that Mr. Moffat found.
3. Capaldi's new interpretation, I believe, will be constantly evolving.
4. Historical figures/characters: one of the aspects of the original Hartnell episodes were of the various historical characters that they met in their early travels. I hope that element is brought back more extensively, to get back to the show's roots.
5. What is this mysterious Paradise that we keep seeing?
6. Rusty the Dalek stole the show.
7. While I like Clara, I've always enjoyed multiple companions traveling with them. More companions needed.

Clara and Danny will surely be the Barbara and Ian of this generation.
