(bear in mind, this is all just opinion) Now, i think it's fair to say that the past few series haven't been the best. Yes, there have been some good episodes but i am of the opinion they are overwhelmed by the mediocre and less-than-mediocre ones that ran alongside them. but this series (7 part 2) seems to be different. apart from the first two episodes which i found meh they have all been quite interesting and thoroughly enjoyable in their own particular way. i don't want to jump the gun here cos the finale's next week and i am not looking forward to finding out The Doctor's name, but the way this series is going we might be onto a winning year for Matt Smith; not to mention the 50th anniversary is looking like it's gonna be awesome too (not that i've seen a lot; i'm deliberately keeping myself in the dark as much as possible). i can genuinely say that i'm looking forward to Doctor Who this year which i haven't been able to say for a good while.
