So then, what did we think?

K, spoiler free review. Um, didn't Karen/Amy look great in that outfit?

I thought the first ten minutes or so were both OTT and self-indulgent, but did work as a nice setup for 11 and Amy. But then it began to grab me.

Anyone else? I suspect there'll be spoilers in the comments. Some of them will come from me.

I must come back and read all the reviews people have linked! Meanwhile, here's my spoilery reaction post. I forgot to mention the new title music: I didn't like it, but maybe it'll grow on me.

Your comment about collateral damage reminded me of my least favourite part of the episode.

***SPOILER***



When he uses the sonic screwdriver to send everything batshit, the guy in the wheelchair is heading straight into oncoming traffic. Which has just lost control of its brakes thanks to the sonic screwdriver.

... guy in the wheelchair? I saw someone (old lady, I think) on a motability scooter, and I got the impression those cars were stopped at the crossing anyway. All their horns sound at once. Was there a guy in a wheelchair as well?

[charamei]

No, that's the one I meant (couldn't remember what mobility scooters were called >.<). I didn't get the impression that the cars had stopped - maybe I just had Toyota at the back of my mind...

The cars in the background to the scooter were all parked; I went through all the sequences with cars in last night looking for number plates to date the setting; it was a little jokey scene that worked, probably best not to overthink it too much; I'd be more worried about the broken glass from all the bulbs.
