Their cousins in real life. The BBC have a programme after the show looking at the background to the episode aired and this was one of the things revealed.

Ahhh, so glad Murray Gold is still doing the music. That's why it's awesome! (Except the opening and ending credits, gonna take a bit to get used to that I think)

Matt did a pretty good job I think, and I like Amy so far. Got a feeling her fiance will be joining them somewhere down the road though :D

As for the Tardis, I liked the new design. Sure some of the panel controls were a bit, odd. But I think it pays a nice homage to the old Doctors, just like that nice little montage with the other Doctors (10!) at the end there. Looks like River Song is going a bit Marilyn Monroe-ish? Works for me.

Just watched this in glorious 720p, and I have to say... I'm impressed so far! I like Amy, Matt Smith has got The Doctor going pretty well, and... well, everything seems to be falling into place. I can't wait for more episodes! The new TARDIS design is pretty cool, too.

I love Amy's expressions as she's watching the Doctor get dressed. Priceless!

just watched Confidential that was a really cool insight to that episode! plus the little preview at the end! epic!

Watching it took me back to when I started to post those photos (those who have been following this thread since the near beginning know what I am jabbering on about) from the set of the village!

He did better than I thought he would, and I do like the new Tardis interior better than the previous one, which I never liked at all really. The hot and cold taps and the typewriter were a bit goofy though. The slapstick at the beginning was way over the top though, but fortunately it didn't last long. Oh, and the new theme music sucks.

Will be on BBC America Saturday, April 17th. Can't wait.

It's rather good I must say. I've watched it like 4 times now (don't ask me why lol) and it gets better each time for some reason. Moffat's writing is spot on as usual and they did cast Matt Smith well I think. He's got that manic energy a Doctor should have, while still having that "dark side" thing going on kinda.

And as usual Murray Gold's music was awesome. I must get his DW soundtracks someplace!

I didn't like the new episode and will not be watching any further.

Give it more than one ep.

I was too a bit dissapointed...Tennant was definately leagues better.

Amy was cool though :)

This episode also felt very childish..or for younger audiences than the old ones with tennant.

Just got around to watching it, I liked it :)

I know he has some big shoes to fill but I reckon he did alright. Don't like the new TARDIS at the moment, that will have to grow on me...

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
