Better Late Then Never

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Peter Capaldi certainly starts his era on a high note with "Deep Breath"! While the new Doctor's personality hasn't been fully defined yet, he's still a joy to watch and is a wonderfully sharp change from Matt Smith's kinder and more welcoming Doctor. Capaldi brings a vibe of unpredictability to the role that shrouds this new Doctor in a veil of mystery. How far will he go? Where does he cross the line? I don't know and I can't wait to see how his role develops!Jenna Coleman absolutely shines in this episode as Clara Oswald. In fact, this episode is as much Clara's as it is the Doctor's. Clara's reactions to the new Doctor and the situations she finds herself in feel very believable. Her conflicted feelings about the Doctor's change bring an emotional punch to the episode and she really starts to come into her own as one of the best companions the show could ask for. As with Capaldi's Doctor, I can't wait to see how Jenna's Clara continues to develop!I've always loved the Paternoster Gang and it was a delight to see them make a reappearance for Capaldi's debut episode. All of them get a fitting amount of screen time as well as flat out awesome moments of action and dialogue.The main villains of the episode, not to give anything away, are intimidating and very interesting. They also act as a very nice reference to a previous episode (and I won't say any more than that).Overall, "Deep Breath" is just a great start for the Twelfth Doctor's era with nice emotional moments, welcome development for its characters, and several interesting surprises.

I've watched every single episode of Doctor Who since the very first episode, those episodes that were lost, I listened to the audio and looked at the still photos of the scenes. So, with that preamble, I must say I'm glad they finally went back to an 'older' Doctor. I get it that a lot of people like to see romance in every TV series they watch, but honestly, Doctor Who was never about that. The whole innuendo thing was sporadic (if that) in the old series, while the new series almost all companions and Doctors had something going on. So, that's over for now and I for one am glad. Now, as for the episode itself, I loved the setting, the characters, the story, the actors. It was funny (maybe too funny? nah, I like funny). Only thing I didn't like was that even considering the "don't try to make sense of Doctor Who" world, this one made even less sense ... (slight spoilers ahead) ... The Tardis brought a dinosaur? And a spontaneous combustions? Droids doing combustions to hide corpses, so they took the eye of a dinosaur and then imploded it? seriously? how where LOL wut? I'm all for outlandish scenarios but at least try to make some sense of them! Anyway, regardless of the non-sensical parts, I still give it a 9 since I just loved the new Doctor, and the episode was well made.

Totally a question of my age (58), I'm sure. The episode went totally over my head, found it overwrought and incomprehensible. The production values are amazingly good as are the special effects (gone are the days of "Doctor Eyes" against a blue screen. I'm afraid I prefer drama that's vaguely comprehensible, and liked the old Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee doctors. Sorry, didn't think much of Capaldi - I'm sure he's a great actor otherwise. Shows how out of touch I am with public thinking, but to me the show takes itself too seriously. Hoping there'll be a retro version of Doctor Who that I'll be able to relate to.

it was a average start to be sure and i am hoping for better as the series continues for me the jury is still out on the 13th Doctor Calpaldi i give to end of the series before i give my verdict as for Mr Moffatt its more of the same no plot utter confusion i Think Moffat should step aside and give some one the riens so they can save this show before its to latethe Opening music and credits are awfulis it necessary to change the music and opening credits every time there is a new doctori also don't understand why people think Calpaldi is the 12th Doctor heres why1. William Hartnel 2. Patrick Troughton 3.John Pertwee 4. Tom Baker 5. Peter Davison 6. Colin Baker 7. Syvester McCoy 8.Paul Mcgann 9. John Hurt 10. Christopher Ecleston 11. David Tennant 12. Matt Smith 13. Peter Calpalito be Honest Steven Moffat has Messed the whole regeneration thing up so no wonder its confusingall in all i am keeping my Fingers Crossed that it gets better
