"It's at times like this I miss Amy."

Okay, I think I get a feel for it. Why, Moffat, WHY? This is why we change showrunners with new Doctors!

My interest in the new series is at an all-time low, with Peter Capaldi's performance being the only thing I am looking forward to. Because everything else around him will be the same.

I'm with you there. It very clearly feels like series 7. I know it takes time to switch gears and that the writers claim to just write for the Doctor, but there are some patterns of speech and dialogue that seem tailor-made for Matt's portrayal as well as the usual crammed down your throat, long-range big mysteries.

I guess we can wait until the 13th Doctor makes an appearance.

Goddamn it Moffat. Stop ruining such a historic character already. I tolerated series 5, I hated series 6, I hated a majority of series 7. Aside from a handful of episodes and Day & Time of The Doctor I can't think of anything that moron has contributed to the franchise that would endear him to me. A showruner change needs to happen. Then he can just do Sherlock and I'll hate him substantially less.

Did you read them? I think Listen, in particular, will further reinforce your opinions of the man.

It's funny, I adored Series 5, but Series 6 was a quick turn around. I mean, I liked it, but not like Series 5 was. Series 7, I watched all, it was okay, but not very memorable. I did love the 50th Special a lot, though.

Okay, the Dalek story doesn't sound too bad actually. Hopes restored somewhat

Considering how much you dislike the new series Dalek stories, that sounds interesting.

Its by no means a masterpiece - having some very clear influences from other stories and (by the sound of it) relying quite a lot on the visuals, but its an interesting Dalek story that doesn't character assassinate them like Asylum did.

Yes I've read some of them. I have to say I'm not very impressed by any of them though I agree with Zeo the Dalek episode shows promise.

Oh god don't bring that one up again. I still have flashbacks

He took one of the greatest most terrifying species in the universe and regressed them into a bad joke.
