a hand. Who's cooler now?"

The Plot: The newly-regenerated Doctor ends up in Victorian times with a T. Rex and soon investigates cases of spontaneous combustion. Also, Clara doesn't like the new Doctor very much. Old friends turn up but he can't remember them (Oh come on! It was only 6 years ago!).
We Like: Peter Capaldi makes a grand entrance as the post-regeneration confusion seems to get the better of him. When he calms down, however, he turns a masterful performance as the Twelfth Doctor.
We Dislike: Clara, Clara, Clara...how superficial and disappointing! So you don't like the new Doctor because he's gotten a bit on the gray side. This is suprising considering that she's met every single incarnations of our favourite Time Lord, so she knows he didn't always go for the youngish look. How superficial.
