(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.

Matt Smith is a good doctor and plays the role very well but the writing is so mediocre, it's become too much of a childrens program. Dr who is supposed to be scary, have children hiding behind the sofa when the daleks or cybermen walk onscreen, instead it's been severely dumbed down in order to fulfill the modern tv show agenda of getting people to just stare at the screen the whole time. I really hope they come up with a good explanation for clara to finish this season or perhaps the next one, because if they don't I might actually be done with the series, god forbid.
