I was pumped to see this early review of the first episode of the new season of Doctor Who.  It’s not out on BBC for a couple weeks and then BBC America another week after that, but it’s certainly not too early to start simultaneously geeking out and fretting about it.  I truly am excited to see how Matt Smith falls into his role, but I’m also pretty nervous, as this is the first Extreme Doctor Makeover I’ve ever been put through.  I joined the fan club after Eccleston had already handed off to Tennant and the majority of my love for the show is in the charisma and charm of the way Doctor David has embodied the role.  However, this early review gives me quite a bit of hope, and also reminds me that it’s not just Tennant that I love, it’s also writer/producer Steven Moffat.   My favorite episodes, almost without exception have his name stamped firmly on them, and with him at the helm I believe the ship is safe.   Give me a couple weeks and I will tell you for sure.
