Yes, I am still enjoying the new Doctor Who. The second episode didn't have the same wow factor, but it helped develop the character of Amy Pond effectively. The relationship between the Doctor and Amy has some wonderful moments. It was weird seeing The Demon Headmaster in a small role, Overall, it was a quieter episode, but you can see that this seemed to be as much about developing the characters as anything else.
The third episode has been the poorest of the run so far. It has some interesting ideas, but it just felt totally flat. The spark between the Doctor and Amy seemed to have vanished. Matt Smith was much more muted than has has been and it was just missing... something.
As to this weekend's episode. Wow. Weeping Angels. Some fantastic special effects. River Song. Wonderful dialogue. Excitement. Without a doubt this has to be the best episode since the show returned to our screens a few years ago. Matt Smith seemed to be on top form and I love his interpretation of the Doctor. Amy is standing out as an independent woman who is not in thrall to the Doctor and that works well. Let us hope that part two is just as good.
Although I will join the many voices who have slated the BBC. What the f**k were they doing putting that stupid trail slap bang in the middle of an enthralling speech and the dramatic climax to the show? Whoever was responsible for that is a moron.
