Watched the Pilot, and it wasn't bad.
What I liked:
I liked the professor Doctor. Peter seems to have found his place as part absentminded Professor, part teacher of the Universe
Story was actually watchable (but reminded me a little of Waters of Mars at times)
The new companion seems to be part Ace, part Donna, with a little Rose thrown in
What I didn't:
The name: I know it probably is supposed to be taken as the pilot of the ship, but when it's the first episode, what it usually means is that it the first episode of something they (the Showrunner) created (and with the ego Moff has, im not sure if that wasn't intentional)
The Pictures: I get Susan, but come on River Song? They had the most fraked up relationship in the Universe and I never once saw romantic love from either of them. The Doctor loves every one of his companions and I only felt obsession from her. He should've had all of their (the companions) pictures or just Susan. (Once again Moffat trying to make his characters more important than 50 plus years of other characters) or at least he should've had pictures of ALL of the people he's married over the centuries. (That would've been funny at least as Bill is trying to figure out why he's got photos of Queen Elizabeth, Marilyn Monroe, etc. on his desk).
I found the "assistant" creepy. This guy was a human and the Doctor created basically a borg or cyberman out of him? Just wrong in every possible way.
