The Doctor kicks off this new run of adventures by searching for his companion
Clara - an Impossible Girl he's already lost twice. Together they find
themselves battling monsters on distant alien planets, trapped in a Russian
submarine with a deadly passenger, chasing terrifying ghosts, delving into the
heart of the TARDIS, facing the Crimson Horror in Victorian Yorkshire, and
coming face to face with an army of upgraded Cybermen. The action grows and the
Doctor's oldest secret threatens to be revealed as the world's longest running
science fiction series builds toward its explosive 50th anniversary.

When I first started watching the first season of Dr. Who starring
Christopher Eccleston, I enjoyed it! It was fun and exciting and ingenious.
However, the latest season is too dark and gloomy for my liking.
The
Bells of St. John - Dr. Who displays 'righteous anger' many times whereas the
villan seems to be more cool and composed! What happened to the fun loving
Doctor?
The Rings of Akhaten - Again, the segment where the Doctor
confronts the 'solar parasite' is too emotionally charged with anger. I felt it
was more like watching Shakespeare than Dr. Who.
Cold War - Ok, not so
much anger in this episode, but it was quite tedious to watch the Doctor trying
to talk the Ice Warrior out of destroying earth. Not that I am looking for more
action, but the whole dialogue was not convincing enough.
Hide - Perhaps
one of the better episodes in this series. The fun-loving Doctor is back, and he
travels to meet his 'idol' Emma Grayling. He then uses his TARDIS to help a
stranded time traveller. That's the Doctor I used to love!
The Crimson
Horror - Even the Doctor needs help sometimes! I think this episode demonstrates
this beautifully.
Nightmare in Silver - Predictable storyline that you
can see it coming from a mile away (when the Doctor suggested a chess match the
intention was so obvious any fan would have picked it up). I felt the ending was
a bit rushed.
The Name of the Doctor - How many girls need to disrupt the
history of time in order to save the Doctor? Didn't Rose do that once by
painting "Bad Wolf" all over time? The ending was both more depressing than it
needs to be.
