I like the new Doctor, I like Ruby, and I'm looking forward to finding out just who Mrs Flood actually is...
I'll just leave this here for posterity:
Spoiler:
The episode was fine but the song was perhaps the low point for new who.

Yea, the new era is off to a disappointing start for me. I do like Ncuti and I like Ruby as well. But man, the Xmas special and the Space Babies were pretty bad. Actually, I mostly enjoyed the Christmas special, but I hated the singing scene. I did like the Devil's Chord better, but that's clearing a low bar. I am hoping Moffat's episode this weekend will be much better.

Watched second episode. I guess “coward Doctor” is what we’re going with this iteration.
I will say I now want an episode with Neil Patrick Harris and Jinkx Monsoom. They were NEVER not entertaining. Jinkx just chewed up the scenery in a great way.
Well... "Boom" was a lot better than the rest of the season so far. But, just "good" not "great".
On a related note, here is Steven Moffat denying being involved with this season of Doctor Who while also naming the episode and Christmas special he wrote for it. Clever boy.

Boom felt like Doctor Who, finally. It wasn’t great but it at least gave me hope the show can return to form.
Edit: and I just finished the latest episode named 73 Yards. I really liked it, even if the ending kind of petered out. But I suspect it will really be finished in a later episode.
73 yards is probably the best episode of the series so far. But, it's a bit too similar to Turn Left for my tastes. Still an entertaining one...
