As the curtain fell on the David Tennant/Russell T Davies era, many approached this new series very wairly. I had a very positive vibe about Matt Smith and it was completely justified. From the moment he climbed out of the TARDIS in The Eleventh Hour, his place in Doctor Who history was assured. A vibrant, energetic Tennant-esque performance, ably supported by Karen Gillan, made this story the strongest regeneration episode since Robot in 1974. The Beast Below only cemented the relationship of The Doctor and Amy Pond as the dream team in a story about kindness, compassion, innocence and ignorance. With the return of The Daleks, Steven Moffat's era as lead writer is off to the best start possible...things can only get better!
Mr. Smith isn't as bad as Ms Gillian, who is just a lousy actress, but close. What irritates me most are the poor scripts. The season opener is just a re-make of 'Smith and Jones' (the Rhinos on the moon). From a new team I expected something new and less predictable.
I just had expected more from Mr Moffat, later in the season he even managed to change the weeping angels from really scary to really exchangable.
Doctor Who is a children's programm again.
The new Doctor is here and he's fantastic. Matt Smith and Karen Gillian have filled large shoes that Tennant and Piper/Agyeman/Tate left behind, proving to audiences that they are capable of re-creating Britain's greatest characters.
The new series of Doctor Who is darker, bolder and more immersive than previous outings and these first three episodes are a great start, but the best is yet to come!
