I like matt to be fair. He had a hard job coming after David because so many people loved David but he has stepped up and I think he's pretty good.

I hope the Xmas special is good though. Not sure if I'll be able to watch it though I'm in france and my mum decided to cancel the sky subscription there :/

TBH all the specials have been terrible, with the exception of the waters of mars which in my opinion was fantastic and one of the best since the return. I believe matt is a good doctor and in this next season will be given a chance to shine. It would be an impossible task for anyone to follow tennant. The problem i have with this new series is yet instead of good bad and moderate episodes, theres only really good or dreadful which sort of looses my intrest. Amy's choice, the final 2 episodes and the weeping angel episodes were all fantastic, but the rest were just blah.

On the plus side i love that there carrying a storyline throughout a whole series / 2 as it indulges you more than just a random 2 part finale you get a series conclusion.

Im guessing if the writing and shooting was back to the way it was prior it'd be much better, the writing seems a little bit plainer at times but then jumps to a total mind ****.

Did we watch the same program.

At first i thought I was one of the few to really prefer Smith over tennant but it appears imdb is full now of people saying how much they prefer him over tennant.

Tennant was good but as often pointed out by many, usually just gritted his teeth and stuff. The problem also was the wiriting. Russel T Davies may have brought the series back but he also made it a laughing stock at times - I mean the last of the timelords was it - time just reversed everyone forgot, a press if daleks get out of control button (journeys end).

I really feel that the in the last series there was a new, fresh feel and everything felt and looked a lot better.

I agree with pretty much all of this, I mean that dalek episode was ****e, "WE TAKEZ UR VOICE ND MAK NOO DALEKZ" its like wtf...

Tbh Davies only had a good few episodes imo so I'm glad he's gone.

That scene was probably cut because of how sexual it was It was funny though.

I agree with both parts! That's 6 out of 13 and in previous series, to me, there were only ever 1-2 flops which, when rewatched, would actually be much better (I found unicorn and the wasp/midnight/love and monsters all boring when I first watched it but after a while, you sorta look deeper into it all and it becomes much more funny/scary/nostalgic). I've tried to rewatch the bad episodes of Season 5 and turned off in boredom.

"You have to remember" from Series 5 is similar to the "say Doctor at the right time" of Series 3. I agree that davies pushed the reset button a bit too often and the whole time reversing thing in series 3 really annoyed me but Moffat also presses the reset button too. The only difference is Moffat's reset button is a bit more subtle than Davies.

The reset button what Moffat did, was his way of getting Davies crap out the way

I just wish the show would get a bit more series like Chris was when playing the ninth Doctor.
