I'll admit, part of me is probably just giggly because it's new Doctor Who and also because I'm giving (and will give) Moffat forty times as much leeway with things as RTD (at least, for the first three episodes). Sure, I could argue niggly bits, but it was a solid start, and by far the best start to a season/introduction of a new companion that I've seen out of the show. I'm not sure how I feel about Amy, but at least she's exhibited some personality rather than being a stereotype with a personality kind of stuck on top with some chewed gum or something (I... erm... just let that one slide, okay?) Also, I knew that skirt was too short. Very clever there, Moffat. I hope she holds up to the stresses of time travel... I mean, I'm kind of tired of "companion has a crush on the Doctor" premises. It was kind of subverted for a bit (hehe invisible childhood friend), but I know that's where we're going, and... yeah. It's probably on that front that Moffat will lose his leeway with me.
Also! I am pleased to say that I didn't have an immediate "You're doing it wrong!" reaction to Matt Smith's Doctor. (I kind of did this with Tennant, but that was because I loved Eccleston's self-assured, distant sort of Doctor, and that clashed with Tennant's brash and often confused Doctor.) However, now I'm worried that Eleven is going to be too much like Ten. It's going to be very hard to play a manic sort of Doctor that wouldn't overlap. But we'll see. At the least, we've definitely got a very different atmosphere this time around. You can feel that the universe isn't in RTD's hands anymore.
... Also I'm kind of very amused that apparently tasting the age of objects wasn't canon before, but is now. Time Lord BS ftw!
I don't like the new theme, though. Actually, I'm not sure I like the new opening at all. But since that is pretty much my only major complaint, I'll take it.
(Ha! I think I did this without spoilers!)
... Waaaait a second, did he really say "Oh you sexy thing"? I can't have heard that right... I mean, "dear," I will accept. Even "love." But "Sexy"? Minus fifteen already, Moffat! (... Plus thirty, because deep down it's funny and, yes, I ship it.)
