I like the new intro.
Intro was great, no question. The whole thing was pretty good, a bit predictable. End was a little silly.
The adipose babies weren't evil, though. Just the nanny and her methods.
The Doctor hasn't yet.
Silly is par for the course. I welcome silly, as opposed to the morose it could have been. Donna and the Doctor's saga got some closure without becoming a complete tragedy.
That made me giddy. You can kinda see Disney's new influence as far as scale. Also, Alistair Lock's score over the episode was phenomenal.
So many elements across all 60 years of themes.
The breathy scraping sound in the end credits was a bit high in the mix. Really distracting. Liked it otherwise.
It sounded like throat singing. It was kinda cool.
