Alrighty. It’s been a while since I last checked in but I’m now well into the revival series. I have to say, overall, I’m glad RTD’s reign wasn’t that long. He gets points for continuing the series and not remaking it. But, he doesn’t seem to have that great of a grasp on the Doctor. A LOT of the stuff going on in the series during his tenure is ripped off from the audio dramas, books and comics. He also never seemed to get a good grasp on the character of the Doctor. Tennant was great for the part but was failed by bad writing a lot of the time. Eccelston was brilliant in the part. It’s a shame that RTD and others in the production drove him to leave.

Moffat has his own problems of course. What he did to the Silurians was awful. As well as introducing idiotic concepts like the TARDIS exterior needing maintenance and River’s origins. However, he does get a lot right. The Sontarans and Ice Warriors are fantastic. The writing in general is pretty solid with the occasional gaff. I’m still pretty early in. Clara was just introduced for me a couple episodes back. So we’ll see how he continues on with the show…
