Love Amy Pond (she’s definately growing on me!), and i can see definate parallels between Smith and Troughton. there’s one thing thats really staryed to niggle me tho, being that in the first series with Rose, they ended up dragging her BF into the Afray, and the same with Rory and Amy. Call me old fashioned, but it’s like repeating itself over again – is it something to expect every season from now on? If so it’s already getting boring!

Saying that, i have to admit that this one was good – not my fave (Time of Angels/2) – however looking forward to the next one now. It almost sounds like they’re definately setting the scene for something big (strange as it may seem!)

Season 5 feels distant to me at the moment, none of the episodes have really had much impact on me, though as I said, I did enjoy Amy’s Choice and The Eleventh Hour and I’m willing to have my mind changed.

I haven’t hated the other episodes so far, but I haven’t been that interested at the same time.

I’m not making great claims for this being the best series of modern Who so far, because it hasn’t quite lived up to my expectations of what a Moffat led series would be like (his own episodes aside, which have been AMAZING), but it is most certainly a whole bunch better than the point we were in this many episodes into series four. In my opinion, of course.

Sorry for the second post btw, just wanted to expand my opinion.

I’m generally a creative person, I worked with a computer game modification team and I used to write, so when I almost get bored like I have this series, I know something is wrong, but that’s my opinion like your opinion is yours.

@JC this season has been such a phenomenal improvement for me it’s hard to put into words. After Dobby the Doctor, magic chanting to rise him to Godhood, time rewind switches, Peter Kay, fat monsters, farting aliens, belching bins, tractor beamed earths and…
…essentially after seeing some really bad Who I am so very very grateful of series 5, for the first time since 1989 there has been a series entirely watchable from beginning to end and oftentimes brilliant (having said that the past four years have had their moments of brilliance, they’ve just been so inconsistent however). Amy’s Choice, the Time of Angels 2 parter and the Eleventh Hour all fall in to my selection of favourites, just a shame vampires in venice and victory of the daleks exhibited so many problems of the past 4 years, but at least neither was as bad as they were.
