Excellent episode! I don't know if it was just being able to watch it on its first transmission or the quality of the episode itself, but whatever it was, I couldn't stop smiling the whole way through the episode for some reason. I thought it was great! Very enjoyable episode, and a solid 9/10 from me.

That's got to be the best episode of all of the last 3 series. I'm a big fan of Shakespeare so hearing his use of language really had me gripped. Best episode I've seen in a long time. And the past 2 episodes have been a great kick-off to the series. Brilliant acting from all the actors, and a well replicated Globe theatre as well, 10/10

I'm watching Doctor Who Confidential right now -- that was no replicated Globe Theatre! That was the real thing! Somehow RTD and co. got permission to film there, so that's the genuine article.

Ah right, I was going to say "yo, big up, respect" to the set builders, but never mind, I still loved the episode. Your resident "Who" cynic has been wowed

I'm wondering if this year, there will be an episode whereby the entire forums are split in half, right down the middle, with half of us screaming obscenities, and the others forming a wall holding shields out in protection, ala "Love and Monsters" last year

There is supposed to be a Doctor-lite episode this year. It's called "Blink" and it's written by Steven Moffat. It's episode ten. If there will be one like that this series, that may well be it. Although the fact that it's written by Steven Moffat makes me worry a lot less.
I Steven Moffat.

Well if Moffat wrote it, it can't be bad, can it?

That's my hope. Moffat has written the most brilliant episodes so far in new Doctor Who, so I'm hoping he'll make something excellent out of the Doctor-lite episode this year (unlike how RTD made a travesty of it last year).

That was an excellent episode. I wasnt expecting much based on the preview to be honest, but I really did enjoy it. That part at the end was good aswell, when the Queen tried to have the Doctor killed lol. I hope that is revisited in a future ep.
Though, if the Doctor is an enemy of the crown, surely Queen Victoria would've recognised his name when they met last series. But well... I wont rant on.
Good episode. 9/10.
And Love and Monsters rocked, btw.

I found Love and Monsters to be my least favourite episode of Series 2.

I found Love and Monsters to be the most shameful abomination to ever bear the Doctor Who name.

I was gonna say!
7/10 for me. I'm not gonna get overly excited about the early episodes.
That said, I did like the witty one liners. Martha is brilliant. I was skeptical about her characteristics at first but she's a great addition to the series. Freema Agyeman makes Martha extremely believaable too. Good stuff from her.

He just kept talking in one long incredibly unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt him it was really quite hypnotic.

Martha is excellent, she's so much better than Rose. Rose was just too clingy, and too soppy. Rose just didn't work. Rose... Won't do...

I completely agree. Martha actually asks sensible questions and her accent isnt annoying. Plus she doesnt run around shouting "Doctor" all the time and then going all suicidal when he was "dead", which I found quite annoying.
