I didn't like the Angels bit, I mean it was one of the best bits.
It's just that Blink was such a delightful episode and they were an awesome and innovative villain.
And now they're just a bunch of stone, twats hiding in the snow, they used to be able to strand you in the snow. Now they can't even grab someone properly.

I'd write with you Matthew.
Angels in Narnia was a brilliant opening.
It was just a wrap up loose ends without really wrapping them up episode.

Tell my agent that 
mangles hand wrenching manuscript back from shredder

realises he doesn't have a shredder

I just assumed you meant shredder as in the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
He's been eating my scripts, the bell end.

That's what struck me as I was watching, that they didn't seem as 'important' as they once were.
Matt Smith was excellent throughout and did the part justice. The regeneration was a bit quick, might be the way it works but I found it jarred a little and Capaldi, on first impressions, seems manic, that could be a good or bad thing, will have to wait and see.
He was still going through the change, remember. His Doctor could end up totally different to that when he levels out.

Yes, they generally act erratic, then settle into whatever they'll really be like later on. I did think it was almost a little too quick, could've done with even another ten or twenty seconds of Capaldi. I enjoyed the sudden, disorientating lurch into him though.
I liked the wooden cyberman but have pretty much forgotten the rest.
