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.

Karen/Amy was delightful and gorgeous in her police outfit. (Although I wish she had been an actual policewoman cause that would have been AWESOME)

As much as I loved Ten, I was prepared and ready to give Eleven a fair chance. And he totally rocked it. I loved the sheer exuberance and cheerfulness that he had, moving beyond the heavy burden of so much death and pain that Ten had gone through at the end. In one word, I'd say Eleven is bouncy. And the bowtie was adorable!

Amelia is my favorite little kid ever and I wish she would come back, although Amy is equal parts awesome (she stood up to the Doctor quite easily, and that's always a good thing. Trapping him with a car via his tie was just an inventive way to do so. I'm guessing that's part of the reason for his choice of bowtie, because he knows Amy is not afraid to drag him around by a tie.

My one qualm was the new music...I liked the old music and opening, it was good stuff!

However, overall, two thumbs up!

(Also, sorry for rambling so much. The Doctor brings out the squee.)

I was actually really glad that she wasn't a policewoman, because the recent DW universe already had one policewoman get recruited into saving the universe from alien threats in Torchwood, so I didn't really want to see that same thread again.

... but Amy did look adorable in the outfit.
