This thread feels... precarious. Like it's on the verge of oblivion.
NO SPOILERS PLS.

Lucky!
Any chance they're doing the same thing tomorrow? Was it something of a secret invite? Who do I need to kill to watch it?

Won't tell, but it was so good. The only thing that fucked it up a little bit wee these two fangirls who kept screaming during the BBC America show previews.

Why the long case?
Okay, "Blink" was fucking terrific.

It really is. Watched it myself the other day for the first time in a while. I think Moffat is at his most creative when he has limits to what he's allowed to do.

I really hope the weeping angels are in future episodes.
Just you wait!

Doctor Who has been good with knowing when it's created great monsters, and bringing them back.

Only one question: Does it clearly set up a season long arc or is it a legitimate standalone?

Weevils
Have all been good but the rest are pretty weak unless they are 1 shot "monster of the week" stuff.
DW has done a really good job at bring the old series race's back.
All the bolded ones were introduced in the new series. The Weevils haven't even shown up on Doctor Who, just Torchwood.
The aliens from the old series are the Daleks, Cybermen, Macra, Sontarans, and Silurians. If you count the minotaur from The God Complex then the Nimon as well, and the Time Lords and Master.

Yeah, I was just referring to new series monsters, and the core series. The Slitheen didn't appear in Who beyond AiL/WW3.

Weevils were in The Pandorica Opens. Autons showed up in the very first episode of Nu Who.

Just got back now.
First of all.
DO NOT READ ANY SPOILERS. DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER ASKING ANY HINTS ABOUT SPOILERS. SOMEONE BEING SPOILED WILL MAKE ME VERY, VERY SAD
With that said, it was brilliant IMO. Top Tier Moffat. Absolutely loved how the episode came together. I think this will easily be on the top of a lot of people's premiere episode lists. Such a good Dalek episode too.
There are some big, BIG surprises. I'm honestly surprised that they've been kept secret since the BFI screening. After the episode aired we received a personal plea from Moffat (via recorded video from what looked like a webcam) to not spoil this episode. He's right. He's absolutely right. Go in clean please. I really hope nobody goes running their mouths from the Toronto or New York screenings tonight.
DOCTOR WHO!!!!
After the episode we were given a live feed of Karen and Matt being interviewed live from the New York City screening. The above pic with the DeLorean was taken from that screening. "Time Lips", Peter Sellers playing the Doctor and Fanny/Bum packs were some of the highlights from that long interview. Very good stuff.

Did it feel like a Moffat episode (in the sense of Dark fairytale stuff) or was it more like a Good RTD dalek episode.
The Elite

Not heavy on the fairy tale but it felt like Moffat doing a Dalek episode, not RTD. There's a noticabely different tone to this Dalek episode compared to the others. Very smart script. Honestly, as Moffat's first proper Dalek episode, I think he nailed it.
Moffat plays with a few very interesting concepts here that end up working really well.
Edit: There are some very dark elements to this story mixed in with all the awesome fun.

I know, I know.
You would be doing yourself an incredible disservice if you spoiled this for yourself. I'm hoping everyone in the screenings tonight take Moffat's impassioned plea not to spoil this particular episode. It's a big deal.
And yes, I'm a horrible Time Lord to come in here and dangle future events in your face.
TIME CAN BE REWRITTEN.

Apparently it was a huge deal for Space to get this episode to Canada. BBC was very protective about the episode and was only going to do the NY screening at first. The episode only arrived today and they opened it up not to long before they aired it. The people from Space weren't even allowed to watch it until the episode was show to us.
It was handy having one of the big producers from Space sitting right next to me.

None of my friends could make the line for passes either. I couldn't get ahold of them with the terrible reception at the convention centre.
I was in the right place at the right time.

I was actually surprised at how good the crowd was at the Toronto screening. Usually, you get a few fans who are too loud and drown out the dialogue.

I wasn't at the Fan Expo, I went to the NYC screening. I actually lucked out. After they seated all the ticket holders, they got the people who couldn't get tickets seats to fill in the theatre.
Not really, at least not yet anyway.
And I follow what DoctorWho said. Go into it clean, it'll be so much better. Great episode, fun surprises, including one I'm honestly surprised wasn't spoiled. Smith basically begged that no one blab about it online.
