Actually the five episodes was all they did. It's a complete storyline. The 10-episode fourth season, though...lets just say it's the best by far.

And I disagree on the first two. I thought they were brilliant.

Couple episodes into the next, and that's when I realized the new format, which I love.

But I think "brilliant" is a stretch. They felt like cliche sci-fi episodes, or maybe it was because the show had no direction yet, we had characters, and a background, but no direction to a storyline.

This morning over breakfast I re-watched the Season 2 episode 'Adam'. I thought it was positively terrifying what a person with that kind of ability could do. Extremely well played. And I felt a lot of character development only a couple of episodes ago when Rhys found out the truth.

Watched the new Christmas special 'The Return of Doctor Mysterio' last night. A nice bit of lighthearted fun, with a superhero and a female reporter with the initials 'LL'.

He'd probably be far better than Peter Capaldi was

Bah! I loved capaldi as the doctor! Now, I'm not too familiar with the earlier doctors, but of the modern era, IMO, he's the best one. Yeah, he had a rough start, but he had such a "mad scientist" feel rather than a "lunatic with a time machine" the rest seemed to have.

Steve could do it and after 3 years run he would regenerate to Jimbuna. Also a good choose to do the role, but still young for it now!

@Gargamel: well, yes. I also like when he was announce, since I thought that they would go to a more serious note,but they didn't and he suffer for poor and terrible scripts. Possible a new 3 doctors with Tennant, Smith and him would be nice (besides what that concept carries), after he leaves the show.

So, Happy Easter and etc to every one. And now, what do you all think of the first eps of the last season of the 12th Doctor?

I liked it, with all the jokes and nostalgia (props,pics and jokes). The final minutes were a bit meh for me. But got the feeling that trhis episode was far better than the other 2 seasons !

Season trailer: hmmm, original cybermen, nice. A nostalgic enemy; long overdo, I think.
