I agree.
It's too bombastic now. And the very latest version is shite. Where's the fucking bassline gone?

It's been a bit of a double-edged sword with Moffatt
+ much better writing than Russell "let's make everything gay and Welsh" Davies
+ fewer situations resolved by the lazy technique of pushing buttons to make magic happen
+ Karen Gillan
- theme tune getting steadily worse
- what the fuck is going on with those new-look daleks?

The Daleks have been hit with the same styling fashion
that's affecting other wheeled vehicles. They've come out with a sports crossover model.

Edit: they're the scifi Nissan Juke.

Moffat's made a U-turn
and said the old versions will be back.

I didn't like the primary colours, either
An upturned bin is difficult to find intimidating at the best of times, it doesn't help if it's a jaunty green.

Edit: It's funny because it's not a primary colour. I am very witty.

None of the new Daleks are green, jaunty or otherwise

I was going to say that
but decided against it for fear of being viewed as a sad old geek.

Luckily my reputation in these parts is far beyond salvation
I would say "you're not old" but now the first digit of your age is one higher than mine, so you are.

Agreed on the new daleks, they fucking suck
Although that episode was worth watching just for "Would. You. Like. A. Cup. Of. Tea?"

Hahaha yes

Haha yeah
Loved that.

I actually think Matt Smith is a brilliant Doctor
Especially considering the size of the shoes he had to fill. Used to play for Forest, you know
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:46, Reply)

He is a good Doctor
I was really worried at the beginning of the series, but I must admit, I'm sold on him.

Nobody can truly replace David Tennant in my heart though.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:50, Reply)

I'm amazed at how many women say that
I really didn't think he was especially good-looking. More so than Matt Smith, obviously
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:56, Reply)

I think I'm just in love with The Doctor
Since I now totally *would* Matt Smith.

Doesn't count
I'm only in love with the late series Doctors.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:02, Reply)

Does David Morrissey count?
He thought he was the Doctor...
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:03, Reply)

No
Like I say, it's a theory in progress.

But no, David Morrisey does not count. Mental delusions do not a Doctor make.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:06, Reply)

How do you feel about The Master? Or Timothy Dalton's Rassilon?
Am intrigued to see how far this extends
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:07, Reply)

I think it's an attitude thing
So just The Doctor.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:13, Reply)

I'd still do him

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:18, Reply)

Whilst I agree with all of the above
As far as pros and cons go the latter are a mite paltry.

However, you could add;

- disappointing use of the Silurians
- unforgiveable appearance of James Corden
- Rory (although I do feel some kinship with the man, as he is, like me, dating a giant woman who is visibly so far out of his league as to be comedic)
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:24, Reply)

Rory is so lovely,
if a tad possessive.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:30, Reply)

I genuinely can't work out how he pulled her though
He's just too much of a wet blanket for someone as adventurous and mental as Amy
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:32, Reply)

Because she'd given up on adventure and was trying to be normal
As a result of all the therapy after The Doctor didn't come back when he said he would.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:36, Reply)

Good point I suppose
Needed someone to look after her
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:44, Reply)

She kept biting them.

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:45, Reply)

Good job men don't run away when you bite them eh

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:50, Reply)

How would you know?

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:50, Reply)

Wild guess
and graffiti
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:56, Reply)

Damn, I thought I'd had that cleaned.

Are we still talking about graffiti?

You git.

Sorry, sorry, season of good will
Am being civil again now. Try me.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:10, Reply)

Anyway
It was the therapists she was biting, not the boys.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:14, Reply)

They really fucked it up this series
By showing the Weeping Angels MOVE. The twats. That was a brilliant double episode though.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:32, Reply)

Agreed on both counts
That was bang out of order. The ending of that episode was a bit of a let-down but the rest was immense
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:33, Reply)

Remembering that has actually angered me.

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:37, Reply)

I'd better not bring up Martha Jones then

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:45, Reply)

I dunno
She was alright. The worst companion of the new series, no doubt, but I'm not actually *angered* by her.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:51, Reply)

Worst companion EVER
Worse than Melanie Bush. She only had two modes - "cocky" and "panicked", both incredibly badly acted
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 13:57, Reply)

Yeah
That and her Mum hit Tennant. The bitch.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:02, Reply)

Her whole family was just horrendous
Massive, crippling error by all concerned
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 20 Dec 2010, 14:04, Reply)

I think that I'd just blocked it out
Because now that I think about it, it IS annoying me.
