Doctor Who Thread

I've only just watched the new Doctor Who series and I am a big fan.  There are usually a few episodes a year that are great.  Blink would rank as my favorite episode.

I'll lay it simply as this:  The old RTD era was about the characters, the new Moffat era is about the story.

I would disagree with this.  Moffat's stories were plot driven, but I think they were the strongest because he also had fully developed characters. In Blink, you could really identify with the Sally Sparrow, Nightingale and Shipton characters and this was from 50 minutes.

That being said, I was a bit disappointed in Moffat's stories this season. Personally, my favorite episode was the Van Gogh one.

Edit: I see you wrote the Moffat era. Yeah, I could see that from this season.

I have the last 3 episodes of season 5 still to watch. Christmas special not coming before... next Christmas.

Watch it online, trust me, it's worth it.

I just watched the Christmas episode and thought it was well worth the 3 bucks. A bit corny at stages but that is part of Dr Who's charm.

RIP.

Cancer, she was 63.
