Twice In A Month - Wow!

Two blogs in a month, wow, I think I may be ill!
Nah, I'm joking... But I need to do a blog on Peter Capaldi's debut as the brilliant Doctor in Doctor Who, because wow. I am in awe of him. He was BRILLIANT!
Now, without giving much away with story line, the episode 'Deep Breath' includes Sontaran's, T-Rex's, gags, darkness, so many references to the 10th Doctor and so much more. It was absolutely brilliant, Stephen Moffat ticked nearly all the boxes in introducing a new Doctor.
The madness of the regeneration, hints of how the new incarnation will be, an interesting story, brilliant one liners, everything! Beloved old characters came back, or at least from what I can tell. Admittedly, I haven't seen anything of Matt Smith's Doctor apart from his work in the 50th, and his initial work just as he regenerated from David, so I missed a lot of Drax and his crime solving friends. But I liked them a lot (got a lot of Sherlock Holmes vibes from Vastra too - go Stephen for the references and technically making WhoLock happen) having always enjoyed badass women and Sontarans.
But the best thing about the episode was the references to David Tennant's (my favourite - if you hadn't guessed) Doctor, an old story line partially revisited, a few more references peppered through the episode. I saw this at the cinema so the previous explanation from Strax of regeneration and all the mentions of David, including images, made me a rather happen Whovian!
Though, back to the main point, what is Peter Capaldi like as The Doctor?
To put it shortly, he is The Doctor. Instantly, he is The Doctor, without a second's hesitance, he is The Doctor. He is sarcastic, witty, powerful, demanding of attention and steals each scene he's a part of. Capaldi is effortlessly The Doctor, the man of so many faces, centuries old and full of knowledge of the world, questioning of every situation. He is exactly how I want a Doctor to be, mad, yet controlled. Knowledgeable, but in wonder of the world, the universe. In short, I love him. Not as much as I love David Tennant, but it's early days yet, I could grow to love him just as much. He's got the makings of an amazing Doctor, and I for one cannot wait for more!
