Ok, lets pretend that Moffat uses more terrible dues ex machina plot devices then Russel T Davies. If it helps you sleep at night. 
I don't think the Doctor will meet her before the ship crashes into the Asylum, unless she spent the entire episode lying about never seeing the stars and all that, which seems unlikely.

Sadly, my personal favorite show went off the air in '54, but Doctor Who has always been an acceptable substitute. Happy Anniversary, guys.

In the UK it's on at 17;15 this year, so don't snooze too heavily after the lunch.
Bleeding Cool has some interesting spoilers/rumours.
One has already been leaked out -- via the Radio Times t'would seem, poor show there eh ? -- but the other..
.. hmm.. could well be. Would fit with Moffat's love of the older stories.
spoilers ahoy
Does indeed solve the conundrum in the promo pic

I enjoyed it but it did not stand up as a solid Christmas special. It was more like an interlude episode that gets the Doctor a bit farther from the Pond era and nearer to the next Companion, when IMO it should have been able to stand up by itself.

Overall I liked it but I already see this heading down the path of recent years where the companion has to have some complicated paradox of a life which will dominate the series. It's not a lot of fun and just feels like the current producer is more interested in his own 'clever' characters than making the show. We've had Amy and River, was hoping that maybe we'd have something a bit more normal now so the series could be about the doctors adventures, not entirely used to create another arc for the latest companion.

Yes, yes! Exactly.
Less story arc and more story, please, Mr Moffatt.
I think that is why some of the best episodes have been the "side quests".

I agree with all the points brought up so far, so I'll say something different.
With the new intro, Tardis design and potato men, gives a bit of a retro Doctor Who feel. If at least half the episodes are written by different, non-Moffat people with that theme in mind, I think this could turn out to be a great series. Or, at least better than the last few. Here's hoping, eh?

I loved it, from start to finish. I loved this bitter version of the Doctor and the way he comes back to his old form. New companion seems cool, and I actually don't mind if the story is focused on her.

So far I like her more than Amy. I do wish he had someone that was not in love with him or something. Probably why I loved Donna so much. She Loved the adventures with him but not HIM. She was even able to yell at him and be pissed at him.

Freema Agyeman as Martha Jones was, for me, the most potential wasted in an assistant. Incredibly hot, very smart, capable and what does that blithering twit Davis do? Have her mope because she's not the sainted Rose, have the Doctor mostly ignore her because she's not the sainted Rose, then pair her off with the only other black character, because he was miserable after being dumped by the sainted Rose because she was in love with the Doctor.
Don't miss Donna one bit, couldn't stand the OTT shrieking. 
Nor do I miss RTD, not one bloody bit.

I loved the new companion, I loved the bitter (clearly scrooge themed in costume and character) version of the Doctor and I loved that the Great Intelligence is back (AND VOICED BY SIR IAN GODDAMN MCKELLEN). That said, there were far too many characters in that episode and the story was a tad dull.

Sometimes I wonder why you even watch the show in the first place MGS.

Eoin Colfer to write a new Doctor Who story.
It is for a book but could this lead to him scripting some TV?

If that happens, it can only be a good sign, IMHO. And IIRC some other writers have written episodes before... though I'm not entirely certain of that.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Eoin is the only author with a book that I love to read every year, over and over and over, and it's still great! (Mind you, I still haven't read the final Artemis Fowl book, but I'd say the first one got me into wargaming!)

I'm not interested in the first Doctor but I'm sure Colfer can write a good DW story. Back when I read Artemis Fowl for the first time, I was put off by the way he just throws weird new fantasy archetypes in your face (especially the dwarf that craps out the earths he eats while digging).

I think you'd be surprised if you watched the first doctor. It is pretty amusing if you can deal with black and white.
Most of the episodes are available on netflix or streaming on the net somewhere.

Now just go back and start watching from the reboot started in 2005. Then if you're really hardcore, go back to the first doctor.

If you think the current ones are good, then you'll either think the earlier ones are amazing or terrible as they're partially the same style and partially not. But I really recommend you watch the first season through to the end. It's one of the best endings, if a little sue-ish on Rose's part.

He seems to be relatively permanent these days....at the very least he is definitely part of the Doctor's 'support staff' as it were and shows up pretty easily when needed....
