We just finished watching, and the old school/new school dichotomy around here is: yay for zeppelins, boo for Rose!angst (didn't help that neither of us really wanted to revisit Father's Day), Cybermen look shiny but not too menacing, and I spent most of the time going "why does he look so familiar OH HE'S BARTY CROUCH!" which mixed up my fandoms again. For our next trick, we will turn another Arcadia video into a Harry Potter/Doctor Who mashup!
My theory is that it is not an alternate Earth like they think, but our Earth apres Torchwood and the lupine Queen Victoria. I don't know how that will work, since Torchwood also showed up in The Christmas Invasion, but like most plot holes this season I am sure RTD will put a pretty frock on it and tapdance madly in hopes I will not notice the inconsistencies. (But Russell, darling, I always do. It's just sometimes I'm more inclined to be forgiving because you did better with the rest of the episode.)
I enjoyed last season so much (and was more forgiving of the low points) but this year I feel more, I don't know, cranky about it.
