But his finales were just too damn grandiose and portentous. The subject of Moffatt's finale was as grandiose as it gets but it didn't seem that way because he focussed on just a few people.

I agree about RTD: even if his finales weren't very good, he did a great job by bringing back the series. I have to be eternally thankful to him for that.. And I think he brought a nice, non-heteronormative aspect to the series too, and I quite appreciate that.

Matt Smith probably had the toughest ever act to follow and did the best ever job at doing it, Karen Gillan is immensely popular with my family's three young critics AND upsets the Daily Mail, so she's doing something right (and oh my word she's nice to look at...).

Indeed. I was quite nervous to see who they'd bring in after Tennant, who did a great job and to make the role his. Matt Smith is doing a brilliant job, though - no need to convince me anymore. I really like Karen Gillan, mostly because she's very clever. I hope they don't bring in stupid companions anymore, they're just boring.. :P

Great season! And brilliant link..
