Doctor Who Series 7

The first half of the new season of "Doctor Who" has already come and gone.  It has been a somewhat loose tradition for me to review new episodes on this blog. This year, I've made my opinions heard (and ignored) thru the WhoNA message boards.

What amazed me the most was that most of the new series is very polarizing. Meaning, that I could either watch any episodes over and over again or live a rich and fulfilled life without ever seeing a particular episode again.

Series 7 was completely different in a middle-of-the-road sort of affair. I wasn't really turned off by any episode, but I wasn't really compelled to see any of them again, even the Western one which I was looking forward to. It was high time we said goodbye to Amy and Rory, about one and half series too late.

In a few months, there will be a new Christmas special, a new companion, and, more than likely, a new look for "Doctor Who." I wish Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman all the best.
