[QUOTE=Stockers678;32611347]I beg to fucking differ. Although Waters of Mars is good, The End of Time, The Planet of the Dead and The Next Doctor are not.[/QUOTE]
I quite like the planet of the dead
[QUOTE=peaceful guy;32611421]I quite like the planet of the dead[/QUOTE]
Even though every series has its rotten eggs, I never felt like it ever spoiled my enjoyment. The Specials was the only time I've been truly disappointed with Doctor Who. Bar Waters of Mars, the specials were substandard and a low point for David Tennant to depart. Shame really, he deserved better.
Best series so far, for me:
Series 5
Series 6
Series 1
Series 3
Series 4
Series 2
Specials
Seriously, series 5 felt fresh and it was by far the most consistent New Who I'd seen. I can't think of a single episode that didn't have me gripped or that I felt was silly. Series 6 had some really cool episodes in it with Neil Gaimans being near the very top of that list as well the 1969 two-parter. And I have to say that RTD nailed the first series of Who.
I sort of wish Tennant was around for when The Moff took the helm. All of the Moffat episodes Tennant was in stood out as some of the best Who episodes I've seen.
Am I the only one that liked The End of Time?
EDIT:
HOW DOES ONE DISAGREE WITH A QUESTION?
I was too busy laughing at "Master Race" the entire time, but I thought that made it a god tier episode on it's own.
So I just started watching season 5, and I was wondering if I was supposed to go straight from season 4 to season 5 because there seems to be something that I missed.

There were three specials in between
GOD DAMN IT
What exactly is on those specials? I never watched them either- I'm curious now.

A bit of 10th doctor character development before he regenerates in the final special.
Oh man, I'll need to go back and watch them then. I feel like an idiot for thinking they just went without explaining it.
A huge amount of plot and character development.

If you can rate every other series you can do the Specials. Which was shit.

The Specials were horrible.
Waters of Mars was okay but literally every other episode was just disappointing.
Also- don't expect a resolution to the name thing till the anniversary. That's the best time to do it.
I hope Tom Baker makes it, it'd suck without him.

The 50th anniversary should be used to regenerate the 8th Doctor.
I know Chris doesn't want to do it but all he needs to do is the regeneration, say "Fantastic!" and pass out.

I loved them all. They just weren't up to standard. End of Time is infinitely better on rewatch.

As somebody said before, you even enjoy a bad episode of Doctor Who. Because a bad episode of Doctor Who is still great TV

Series 6 has a great opening. Brilliant dialogue. Rory. The Doctors Wife.
A really good first batch of episodes.
A really good last batch of episodes.
But a bizarre middle section where you go from GREAT episodes to surprisingly average.
Still based on the series as a whole, in comparisons to others especially. This Series had my favourite arc and episodes. The Doctors Wife and The Girl Who Waited and The Silence all in one series. It'll be remembered fondly.
And how can we forget BABY GO SPLAT.

I like how the director compares Matt and James to every Skinny and Fat double act.
Laurel and Hardy
Abbot and Costello
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
Hey guys, remember how Arthur Darvill said "rewatch Silence In The Library" and we couldn't figure out why?

But didn't Arthur tell us to look at Rory's hand or something, and then rewatch Library
Wonder what Rory's hand has got to do with that
The only point in which I think has anything to do with his hand is this:

It might have something to do with what's in the background?
That's a chair in the background. He's just clenching his hand in pain.

I know it's a chair in the background and that he's clenching his hand in pain. It's just the only thing I see that can relate to his hand.
Maybe he means the Doctors hand, handcuffed to the rail?

If you didn't catch this on first viewing of the episode, you're not a true fan of Doctor Who.
Elitist and wrong in a single sentence. Ain't Fandom great?
