That's surely a bit harsh!

Agree with almost all of your comments -- especially on the direction 
and the terrific Tardis introduction -- but I end up with 7/10 !

Given what this episode had to do, it's an astonishingly well put 
together episode that introduces multiple new recurring characters, 
re-introduces Who to a mainstream audience, and adds some mystery and 
adventure back in at the same time.

Yes the pacing is odd, yes some special effects don't work, and yes the 
autons are basically wallpaper but who cares when the important 
fundamentals of the new Doctor, the new Tardis and the new companion all 
work so very very well? Has to be more than a 5!

all the best,
Ian
