Steven M to me prefers a really good story. I look at it as the difference between an album with several hits and a few fillers compared to a well crafted concept album. I like Matt Smith's portrayal of The Doctor, he really has brought his own feel. I also like Amy Pond, I sense that we don't really understand her yet. The character who annoys me the most in the current series is Rory, he may be a necessary foil though.
One thing for sure, after so many years in the wilderness it is good to have well written and acted Dr Who back for the foreseeable future.

I tend to agree with Phil. Maybe its a generation thing. I find much of today's Dr Who very dark and lacking the humour and spontaneity and charm of the past. I'm not at all keen on either Amy Pond or Rory. And still trying to get to grips with Matt Smith.
