Holy fuck do I owe Matt Smith an apology if I ever meet him. My initial assumption that he would be a naff Doctor because of his silly floppy hair could not have been more off. As if... well, his entire run on the show wasn't proof enough of this, 'The Angels take Manhattan' shows him off to such a wonderful degree. Watching him play the Doctor as furious, then caring, then frustrated, then fearful, then joyous and then downright terrified and desperate at the end... Absolutely amazing.

I'll be honest, there were a couple of thing I didn't like in this episode (Statue of Liberty is an Angel, and no one noticed? Yeah, no, but I guess I can ignore it. But then you don't even do anything with it? What the hell writers?) but Smith was just fucking golden from start to finish.

I was also kinda hoping that Amy would die. Just to see what would happen to Rory.

Bloody annoyed that the woman who played Oswin won't be returning as Oswin though. I'd have loved The Doctor to have a Dalek companion.

Also, I've come to the realisation that I really want to re-watch New Who, but only with a friend who's never seen them before. I think I want to watch them more than watch the show, and isn't that just a little creepy.
