Anybody else think the ultimate big bad of this season could be Omega?

Unlikely. He did state that everyone was scared of it, and the last thing mentioned that everyone was scared off was either
Squuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeee!
or

Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!
But what about

[HEADING=1]OMG DAVID TENNANT IS INSIDE THE PANDORICA![/HEADING]

Ahem, sorry, lost integrity for a second there

There are two things I dislike about this new Doctor Who series.

The first is how unsubtly the cracks in the wall are being revealed. The current format remains steady at 'Adventure happens, then at the end of the adventure they find a crack in the wall and ponder on it.' It's annoying and predictable. Just once I'd like to see them run past a giant crack in the wall halfway through the episode but not notice it because they are being chased by the giant alien space monster.

The second is how you can't do anything else when they're on except sit and watch Doctor Who. The action flashes by so fast and an incredible amount of techno-babble gets crammed into such a tiny space that if you aren't paying 100% attention for 100% of the time then you miss something crucial. Given that they are usually on around the time I'm trying to prepare and eat dinner, this leads to me knowing very little apart from 'The Doctor has won and there's a crack in the wall.'

That aside I like the characters and think the writing when it isn't just infodumping on us is of a high standard. I like this new Doctor and think now he's starting to find his feet he is going to be comparable favourably to David Tenant. I like Amy Pond though i feel sometimes she gets used more as a plot device than a character, and I think the resolution will of course be gripping and epic and worth staying up late and posting on facebook et al about.

This episode did feel just a little bit meh to me though. This time everything flashed by so fast I didn't even care. Camera work was good though.
They have actually missed a few cracks, although they're usually small. A big one I remember them missing was the one in the sky in the The Vampire of Venice episode.

The Valeyard

Crackpot theory
Perhaps it's something as simple as Amy not leaving the note, or using a blue pen. In that way she's accidentally caused a major paradox, which is why the crack is following her?????!?!?!?.
I like the Valeyard idea

Also, why would the Doctor say about using a red pen if it wasn't vitally important? You may be onto something there!

Ok, I chose that picture because they both look creepy, but that would be [HEADING=1]AWESOME!![/HEADING]

Edit: If I end up guessing right, Steven Moffat definitely has the biggest balls on TV.

If they did(which they won't), has it not been established that the Power Dalek Rangers would obliterate them? As the new ones are pure.

There's a rumour going around that the Original Cybermen will show up and not the Remade Cybusmen.

So she's have to look for a red pen and find the ringbox.
Silly.

I as well, I love the look of the Original Cybermen, they're pretty much the 80s in the form of an alien villain.
