Hmmm, gonna take a bit of getting used to. Didn't like the new theme tune! The old one ruled! Also, isn't this a kids show at heart? Prime time TV and woah at the sexual innuendo! Don't get me wrong, I like the odd joke here and there but the key demographic is kids at prime time.

Overall a good performance by Matt Smith, definitely looks like a more kick ass Doctor and that'll be a fresh new start, could be a good thing! Seems we will learn a lot more about the new Doctor is the coming episodes as he was obviously a bit busy in this one! :p

Also, looks like we got a running theme, something to do with the "silence" and Amy's wedding!

Looks promising!

yeah wonder what thats about

OK so who has been smoking in the time vortex?

Very film like production which I like, the new Tardis does look a bit dodgy, especially the controls.. half of it was painted executive toys that seemed to serve no purpose or offer any control.

Other than that it was great.

Oh dear :no:

It really does look like it.

I really liked it, its different for a different doctor.

I do wish people move on from DT comparisons (not saying people are on here but on Twitter they are)

I liked a lot of it, the dodgy console spoilt the magic a little and that should have been addressed but other than that it was a good start.

I'd put him ahead of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 8th Doctors, but he's rubbish compared to Tom Baker or David Tennant, he can tell the BBC has angled Doctor Who towards its younger audience. The monster in the sky was crap tho, a flying icicle with a detachable eye ball?

I didnt realise the monsters/aliens in Doctor Who where realistic....I mean tin cans that can shoot lasers from their eye, how shoddy :whistle:

Just caught this on iplayer since i was out tonight.

Absolutely brilliant, not that I was one of those folks who were discounting Matt Smith beforehand; but it was a great mix of Tennant's Doctor and a glimpse into the crazy kickassness of his own.

All I kept thinking was "want more" and every episode should run for an hour.

Totally agree with the earlier comment about a film-like production, it honestly didn't feel like a Saturday night BBC show. And yes it dealt with some fairly scary moments and I loved Amy Pond, I loved her legs, I loved that she isn't a cop but a kissogram, I loved her innocence and that she definitely seems to be a strong-willed good actress I loved the sexual hints between them, I loved the music, I loved the writing, I loved the film style, I loved the story, yes I even thought the aliens did their part and I have a feeling they'll be back, I love the new Tardis interior and exterior, I loved that the story had funny moments but was like Shakespeare compared to what Russell Davies would write (Remember the burping trash cans??), I loved that everyone was a solid actor and got me interested, I loved the giddy excitement The Doctor showed when he finally got the new key to the Tardis, I loved that they didn't mention U.N.I.T and I loved the end sequence with the previous Doctors ending with Matt Smith to show how badass he is.

I haven't been this excited about a tv show since I started watching BSG all those years ago. Any worries that the show was dumbed down or aimed towards kids have been obliterated and I can totally see why Moffat went for Matt Smith - and that's just from the first episode!

In conclusion: Want. More.

Re-posted for squee

I'll admit though that i'm not a fan of the music, in fact i'd say it's the worst incarnation of the theme yet but 'Amy Pond' more than made up for that... that is one hella pretty girly!

yeah I was amazed how the child looked exactly like her!

plus Moffat went all Abrams on us :p frakkin lens flare!

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

      Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.

      That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.

      Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
