Nope, didn't really do much for me.
I've read good reviews, bad reviews- but I kept my opinion neutral until I got the chance to watch it myself...I wasn't impressed.
It all went by way too fast, and the only things that got a real grin from me was Donna asking if it was time to shop and the so obviously Rose and a Wolf paintings in the little girl's house.
River Song annoyed the hell out of me. If they wanted a woman charactar who knew the Doctor and they wanted to make it interesting, make it a family member. Not some future flame that has the Rose fans boiling with anger two episodes before her return! I'm really very iffy about her, she knew what Emergency Program One does? (sniffs) does the Doctor record "have a fantastic life" messages for all his companions? And no, the Bad Tim Burton wannabe monsters did not scare me. At all. I still find the little specs of dust in sun beams to be very pretty and a little magical, not creepy in the least. Honestly Moffat, this is a real let down after 'Blink', which was fantastic!
But as for the confidential, ahahhahahaahahahhahahhah! The guy who plays Other Dave is called O-T Fagbenle, I don't envy him one bit.(snerk)
Oh, and Euros Lyn directed this one. I still have a huge crush on him, he's bloody gorgeous (although he does look a little sick this series D: ). And he's done some of the best directrial jobs on the show, Idiot's Lantern and Fear Her were two of my favourites. Yes, I want more Euros, please!
