Doctor Who - Big Bang? No, not really.

I'm really into Doctor Who and absolutely loved David Tennant's Doctor. I think Matt Smith has done a good job and I like how the new series has tried to link back to the pre-tennant doctors and the old series with the new titles and the references to the old doctors in several episodes. In this way, the writers are asserting about Matt Smith's doctor 'I'm the 11th Doctor and I'm one in a long line of people to be this guy, not a replacement for David Tennant'. However, I've found the emotion in this series flat and I don't like Karen Gillan as Amy Pond much at all. I think she's a bad actress and she's just annoyingly sarcastic all the time. There have been some brilliant episodes this series though - The Van Gough one, the weeping angels double, the James Corden episode and the penultimate one. However, the last episode was, in my opinion, a big disappointment. I felt so strongly that I actually commented on this review of the episode in The Guardian. I was confused at first to see so many people say they 'loved it' and that it was the best episode of all time. But many people agreed with me, and me with them, so I think it's an even split. So, enough of my Who geeking, you can read the review for yoursef (I'm HarmonyandMe). And if you liked the episode, good, I'm glad you did. Just wasn't for me. It does look as though things could be great next series though - if they drop Pond and actually complete some stories! x
