Yeah, I think I liked Tennant more in this episode than most of last season. And, as far as a RTD script went, I never caught a "cringe-worthy" moment.
Also, I think I'm going to like Martha better than Rose. She's hot, smart, and generally just cool.
9/10... 
The only Cringe worthy moment I had was the whole thing with the radiation

Saw it & liked it of course. The Judoon are an interesting addition to the show. Jones didn't suck and I like her so far. Her family was also fun & I hope we see them off & on.
Fair play!

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like the producers are sort of cashing in on Harry Potter with the newest look for the Doctor?

I noticed that, too, G - Man...I half expect the doctor to start using a wand and saying stuff like " Expecto Patronum!"

It's funny, but I had never thought of that until now. Of course, one could say that Rowling was cashing in on Tim Hunter from Books of Magic, then.
Even still, I've always thought of 'geek-chic' when I see the 10th Doc. It's very much a "David Byrne" look...

I thought of Daniel Radcliffe too after seeing Jaburg's frontpage. Who looks especially Potterish from that camera angle.

I think it's intentional at least for that picture. The Doctor has rarely if ever posed with his specs on the frontpage pic.

So cause the guy is wearing glasses, he is automatically trying to look like Harry Potter?
Sorry, I dont see it.
Maybe everyone who wears glasses is trying to look like Potter!

Well, there are plenty of overt reference to Harry Potter in that specific episode. So, like Jake said, I think it's intentional this time.
BTW, does anyone need me to upload this episode for their downloading needs?

I've been catching up the past few days. Watched the Christmas special and first two eps. of the new season. I have to say that it is getting better. Tennet isn't being as much of a campy goofball he was last season. I do think the Special and season premier showed the main problem with Davies setting too many stories in contemporary London like he did the first two seasons. His invasions have been to big and frequent for people to ignore. Unless he makes a major change in how characters start perceiving the Doctor and other aliens, it's all a buncha crap.
The last ep. was ok. I do like how they brought in more of the mystery of the Doctor's origins by pointing out that that isn't his real name and has no power over him. But I don't like the whole concept of trying to equate magic with science. Never have. Never will. I also wasn't a fan of spouting off Shakespeare lines that haven't been written yet so Will can say, "I might use that." It's cliche and been done to death. Also, the ep. had a pretty gay feeling to it. I dunno. Hopefully this is the worst they have to offer this season, and the show gets better.

His real name (perhaps) came up in "The Horns Of Nimron". The Doctor runs into a timelord in the undergrond cavens who calls him by a diffrent name.

And this is exactly the line where you and I will always differ. Not only do I like equating magic to science, I downright demand it. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of hocus-pocus, goblins, and vampire drivel. But, to each their own.

Oh, this old chestnut, eh? You're talking about the infamous "Theta Sigma" line, right? Per everything I've ever read, heard, or tweaked about that, the original script made it plainly obvious that this was a "university nickname", as they were school friends. However, I believe the inference to it being just a nickname was either cut, or not made obvious enough. This is one of those bits of lore that always leaves fandom in an uproar (i.e. the extra faces seen when The Doctor and Morbius are battling out their regenerations in The Brain of Morbius)...

Yes, because all the shit the Doctor's been doing the past season wasn't just a bunch of hocus-pocus, aliens, and drivel. Especially with the help of his magic wand.... oops.... I meant Sonic Screwdriver. (And I was happy for just a bit when he destroyed it in the season premier. Too bad they gave him another one at the end of the ep.) You can masquerade science as magic; but when you make both the same thing, it just becomes fucking retarded. As long as it doesn't become too deus ex machina, it's fine. Leave it be and use some imagination.

Oh, I think you're misreading me here. I wasn't talking neccessarily about Who, per se. More about "magic" itself. But, you know that already. It's not like this is the first time we've had this conversation.
And, I'm certain we're in agreement about the overuse of the sonic screwdriver, and silliness. But, did you notice he didn't use it at all in this last episode? Totally dug him going into it with just his brains...
