With Doctor Who beginning its eighth season, I feel it would productive to have a thread in which to discuss it.
First off, I'm torn on the new opening theme. On one hand, I like the way it sounds, but on the other hand, since when did the time vortex get all steampunk?
As to Capaldi, he's great, as expected. He delivers the lines well and had some great moments.
However, while the episode was better than the utter shit of the past few seasons, it still suffered from some dodgy writing typical of Moffat.
Overall, I think the season could be good, but I'm remaining skeptical.
