I wasn't keen on the pacing for the first half of the episode - it was SO MUCH INFORMATION all packed into twenty minutes and it was a real job to get past the overload of drama. I really didn't notice the Obama bit at all, other than thinking how carefully they didn't show the stand-ins face!
The cafe scene was my absolute favourite, though. David played that to absolute perfection; it was so beautifully done. Overall I liked it, but it's not something I'll go back to over and over, unlike the previous Master arc.
As an aside, have you downloaded the Hamlet that was on BBC2 on Boxing Day? It's another D. Tennant spectacular!
