It's fun watching people react to this season, because to me it seems like a classic textbook RTD bit of Doctor Who:

  • Veers wildly between episodes that are almost unwatchable and some of the best episodes the show has ever had.
  • Is absolutely bonkers throughout.
  • Gay as all hell and completely unapolagetic about it.
  • Finale that writes itself into an awkward spot, then handwaves a bunch of stuff away and hits the Big Reset Button^TM^.
  • Creates more David Tennants.
  • Digs up a 50+ year old villain that nobody was thinking about for purely RTD reasons.
  • Villain hiding behind an anagram, also for RTD reasons.

It's everything I'd hoped it would be lol

Yeah, people complain that they defated an ageless ultimate evil by a dogwalk?

I've seen an RTD season finale, where they use the power of a prayer to turn the Doctor into an almighty space-Jesus.

I also remember the TARDIS moving Earth back to its proper place by just dragging it across the galaxy like a tow truck lol.
