Might just be the familiarity of they worlds now, but this was a much better opening episode. The acting was far stronger, the budget hasn't gone backwards so it looks fabulous and the story gave you enough in the first hour to know a lot of bloodshed, backstabbing, chaos and dragon action is coming our way. Was the best thing I'd seen Matt Smith do for a while, wiping the stain of Morbius away with a wry sneer. Can't wait for next week, more than pleased.
