@Tandy James Nesbitt!?! Nesbitt isn't even close to what the Doctor should be. Matt Smith has been superb. I've been a fan of the show since watching Peter Davison on TV as a kid, and I have to say I think Smith is one of the best Docs we've had.

Is it time for Matt Smith to regenerate yet? Maybe someone older? James Nesbitt should have got it. Hopefully River Song will turn back up and kill him.

To make it a more intresting two parter cliff hanger may be it it needed Graham Norton to apear at the end?

Having watched this again, I stand by my original comments on it. Great episode.

It’s dark and eerie, and well paced. Matt just owns the role of The Doctor now. The scene where he interrogated the Silurian was excellent.

I found future Amy and Rory waving from the distance quite strange too. Something seemingly trivial, along with The Doctor crossing his timeline previously, that will have more significant meaning later on?

The only thing I would change about this series is when it is aired. It would definitely suit being broadcast on a Winter’s night.

Oh dear. I thought it was dull. Really really dull. My feelings for this new series are going further down each week. and (ready for controversy) the cliffhanger was the worst ever. I agree there should be no set rules about a 2 parter but the cliffhanger should at least show some last minute drama and jeprody for the characters. This cliffhanger was just “oh we have a silurian city”…that was it????

I liked it, thought the story was good and MS is great. He seems to make evrey story intresting to watch. The only thing that buged me was the new Silurians. They looked nothing like the old ones! The only thing they have in commen is they both have scales. The colour is deffrent, no third eye, i think i bit to human. And i don’t understand why they have those masks. But otherwise i liked it, bit Torchwood in some places.

I thought it was a good episode, and did a good job of leading up to next week.

I also thought it was really interesting how many references there were to Classic Who. For example the first time, in *Doctor Who and the Silurians* (Doc #3), the Silurians were revived because of the power from a nearby nuclear center. And in *Inferno* (Doc #3) drilling deep into the earth caused humans to become feral, primitive creatures- perhaps similar to what is happening to Tony. In *the Daemons* (also Doc #3), there was a similar shield that prevented anyone from entering or leaving the village.

PS- I’m only pointing these out; I think it’s good that there are more references to Classic Who these days
