It's Doctor Who thread catch-up time again, but it seems to be the same old story; Matthew Stott likes it, whatever; zooo will still watch but doesn't get the DTs any more; Chip thinks something is worth saying just in case anyone's forgotten he's there; and Griff probably hates it but will watch it anyway. Then Badge will talk in the second person and say:
The last series was ultimately really, really disappointing because it had what promised to be the best writer in charge, but he didn't deliver a thrilling, coherent series. Maybe a 7/6 split will suit him better. It's all the more disappointing because the groundwork had been laid for excellence - casting Matt Smith as the best Doctor ever, IMO (this isn't even in dispute any more in my mind - despite the abomination of the Christmas episode), and the character of Amy as well - though the latter was let down by having Rory pop up from the dead. How much better would it have been for a mentally wounded companion to be with the Doc?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to it.
