I reckon this episode will have been quite devisive actually. My mum didn't think much of it either.
I hear you on the placeholder thing. I think there's too much we still don't know about the Doctor or Amy (I just added a paragraph about something I forgot earlier) - and even my Mum - completely unprompted - said that she thought that if they're not careful, people will get fed up and stop watching.
I know there are a lot of people out there who hated Ten and the fact that he wore his heart(s) on his sleeve so much, and like Eleven because he's the opposite. But is that because he's Eleven, or because he's NOT Ten? And is the gap that people like us are feeling because we liked the more sweeping emotional stuff and are finding Eleven wanting for the same reason - he's not Ten?
I'm trying to be as fair as I can, given my abiding love for Ten - but Nine was fucked-up and emotional too, and I don't see people slagging him off.
