Hmm, I guess I'm going to have to find myself an Eleven icon, aren't I?
I liked it. I really liked it. I can't say I love it yet because Eleven is not yet fully-formed, at least in my head, but I really did like it. It wasn't anything exceptional but it definitely felt like a classic Who episode, even if I did groan when the threat escalated to the whole blooming world. I liked the idea of the 'the residence' not being just the house, but really, did it have to threaten the entire world? Surely just the town/village/whatever it is would have been sufficient? Because if you keep on threatening the entire world, it loses its impact after a while.
Anyway. I adored 7 year-old Amelia, and I adored the moment when the Doctor said he'd be back in 5 minutes and both my husband and I went, "Ohhhh!", because we'd been wondering when she was going to get to grow up. Nicely done, though, as was the two year gap - also expected by that point - at the end.
I liked Amy a lot, and it really is such a nice change to have a companion with an accent that's not from London. She's smart too, which is always good. And I *loved* the revelation that she's not really a police officer! Nice bit of misleading there!
As for Eleven, he's really kind of cute, isn't he? He definitely felt very Doctorish to me - he's got that boyish-but-actually-old thing going very well. He does, however, feel rather similar to Ten, at the moment, which may be a deliberate thing on the part of the writers so as not to alienate the Ten fans but I'm hoping he'll develop a bit more of his own identity in time. I definitely liked him, though, and am happily looking forward to the rest of the season, even if it does look a bit dark, if that long trailer's anything to go by.

I'm hoping Moffat's "dark" is dark in a creepy Blink-like way, rather than a blead Midnight-like way.
