Nope. A good one and it cleverly resets the whole Russell T 'every episode has the be the end of fucking world with lasers and sharks and daleks and shark-daleks' thing. Now daleks can just be an enemy - one of many.
Did think it was of a bit of a Dalek retirement home, not an asylum.

I like Moffat but he can twist things too much and drag them out a bit too long. Tonights episode being another good example - in case you didn't realise it the bird on the planet is his next companion. Yes, the one that is dead and prior to being dead was a dalek. Which sounds like River Song all over again. My prediction - the Doctor gets River Song up the duff and they give the kid to Amy and Rory to raise. |

Certainly is, had to do a Google search to see where I recognised her from, and unfortunately it's Emmerdale Farm, she becomes the new companian midway through this serious when the Ponds leave (thankfully - as nice as Amy Pond is, she's bloody annoying). |

I've been a fan of Who for yonks, I love Nu-Who to bits and will defend it to the death, but there were long parts of episodes in this series where I was shouting angrily at the screen.
THAT. WAS. SHITE. Seriously. What the fuck was the point of this series?!? Honestly?

Not sure I got it. Were they saying he was The Doctor before he became The Doctor, making him generation zero? And that he did some really bad shit, albeit for a good reason? Which is why he changed his name to The Doctor? |

The way I think it was supposed to work is that before he did bad shit (I'm guessing that'll tie into the whole nicking the Tardis/destroying the Timelords/Daleks at the end of the Time War), he went by his 'real' Gallifreyan name. After that he became The Doctor. But then you have the stuff that has been set in place in previous Nu-Who about Gallifreyans choosing their names after they've looked into the time vortex when they're kids. So that makes no sense. |

Did he say he took the name The Doctor after and because of what Not The Doctor did?
Or just that Not The Doctor didn't / chose not to go by the name The Doctor?
If it's the latter then it maybe makes sense and could relate to the Time War and he's a generation we didn't know about.
Wasn't The Doctor who stole the Tardis supposed to be young at the time?

 Whatever it is it better tie into what he did during the time war, and it better not reveal his real name. Stuff being confusing is not an excuse for bad writing. |

The popular theory seems to be that John Hurt is an incarnation of the doctor between 8 and 9 who is responsible for ending the time war.
The photo below from the filming of the 50th anniversary special shows him in a blend of 8's victorian threads and 9's black leather jacket.
