What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
 I pretty much hated this episode. Come at me

Matt Smith will forever be the Doctor that was the biggest missed opportunity.

This is very, very true.

Capaldi isn't the Doctor for me yet. I don't think it's his fault, he's doing a fine job, but he's such a powerful and pivotal presence in The Thick of It/In The Loop that I can't stop seeing him as 'Peter Capaldi, actor, is The Doctor'.

With Matt Smith I literally had no idea who he was so when he came in and completely owned every aspect of the role, I felt like he was the Doctor. I think it was J-Ru that suggested Matt Smith was a false identity for the BBC to cover up that they had hired the actual Doctor as a cost saving measure.

I imagine this is how it felt to people when Tom Baker, who was the Doctor, was replaced by the guy from All Creatures Great and Small.

This is exactly how I feel also, thanks for expressing it so well.

I don't know if there are music examples on YouTube yet, but I've definitely noticed a Zimmeresque two-note thing similar to the Batman theme. You can hear it in Deep Breath after he reveals himself through the flesh mask and makes his big hero moment, and you can hear it in the background of the following two episodes.

Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who heard the resemblance. But yeah, pretty sure it's that one.

EDIT - for your convenience, it's this one (about 20 seconds in)
