neadodsOMG those credits! Doctor Who should have had those credits FOREVER.
Capaldi is living up to my every hope for him as the Doctor. His delivery, his timing, his enthusiasm, his ability to pull off insane lines with gravitas, his ability to flip from emotion to emotion believably, and it looks like he can gear up to some serious anger and grief. I'm looking forward to that. Matt Smith could do goofy, but his Oncoming Storm never achieved more than the Oncoming Strop. (To this day, I blame his lack of classical training. Eccleston and Tennant had Shakespearean training; Smith did not - and the Doctor is a very Shakespearean character.
The ads kept throwing me off; I need to see the episode again, unbroken. But I liked it, and I'm intrigued by the ending, and Capaldi's great.

I think this may have happened.
