Can't Wait for the Next SeasonTo be honest this season of Doctor Who was pretty awesome! I'm kind of sad that the season is almost over. I'll be waiting anxiously for the next season to come out. I think Peter Capaldi is a great actor and jenna coleman had a really great personality when she was acting. I would definately recommend watching this t.v. show if your into scifi shows. :).Score: 5/5
Season 8, the latest in the sagaIn general, Series 8 is another good, strong Doctor Who season. Pater Capaldi is brilliant though the change, at times, from Matt Smith is jarring. âJarringâ, by the way, isnât a bad thing in itself, it just is. The series gets off to a rough start and has some twists and turns but overall, itâs worth investing your time, and since this iTunes, your money. The series long arc isnât as strong as say in series 5 or series 6 but itâs good, not awesome or amazing but good, In many ways this series feel as though Moffat was phoning it in a little. Itâs very formulaic and Moffat is clearly, consciously working to be more like old school Doctor Who in many ways. The bright spot in this series is Jenna Coleman who, after some hit or miss episodes with Matt Smith, really comes into her own and makes this series much better than it would have been without her. Finally, thereâs the unrelated to the content issue of the way BBC America and iTunes continue to distribute this content to customers. It arrives some twelve hours after being broadcast in the UK (six hours after being broadcast in the mainland US). Yes, youâll get the Saturday episode Sunday morning at 3:30 a.m. Itâs an insult to those of who buy these episodes. It also appears you wonât be getting the xmas episode included with this season which, while not surprising given the overall abuse of those of us who pay to watch this show, is still sad. And yes, youâll pay for it and not be able to watch it on xmas. Youâll watch at 3:30 a.m. the next day. Lucky you, merry xmas. I never thought I would type these words but given all the changes and the continued abusive manner in which the show is distributed, I donât see myself buying new series of Doctor Who. Iâll just wait to see them for free on Netflix or get them some other way..Score: 3/5
Worst Doctor of the New SeriesI was really excited when I first heard that Peter Capaldi would be taking over the role of The Doctor from Matt Smith. While Matt Smith was a pleasant surprise, Peter Capaldi has been a longtime favorite. Unfortunately, this season has failed to live up to its potential. Some of this may be Capaldiâs desire to make The Doctor more âalienâ, but a good portion of the blame must fall on the writers. This season had some of the worst plot lines I have seen in years. The plot seemed disjointed in places - our first introduction to Peter Capaldi as The Doctor leaves the viewer wondering if there was another Prequel episode somewhere that would fill in some of the gaps. While there is always SOMETHING of a gap between seasons, this is by far the worst I have ever seen. Much of this seasons seems like they were either running short and started grabbing 10-second ideas to fill time, or else they had a lot of 10-second ideas and werenât patient enough to write them into full episodes. I can only hope that Season 9 brings some improvement..Score: 1/5

Dr Who Magic writer has lost his museI have been a Dr Who Fan since the 70âs. I grew-up watching Tom Baker. I did not need great special effects or high budget sets. The writing made this show great along with the Doctors. I feel like the head writer and producer; Steven Moffat, has lost his interest in the show. Itâs almost like heâs been spending so much time on his new show Sherlock Homes that he does not have time for Dr. Who any more. Maybe he thinks the show does not need him. The magic that was once there is gone. The writing feels disjointed. The stories donât work or just feel rushed. There was only one good episode this season, which was a two part episode. Unfortunately the second part did not even connect to the first part. It felt like two different people wrote the episode without talking to one another. I hope Dr Who gets it muse back. If not please head the series before you do anymore damage to what was once a great show..Score: 1/5
Wanted to like itWeakest season. Don't like Capaldi as the brooding Dr. Don't like his chemistry with Clara. Some of the episodes r awful (ex. The Robin Hood episode which could be skipped & u would miss nothing). The big afterlife tease throughout led to a weak plot twist at the end. Some episodes were so boring I was forcing myself to watch them cause I'm a Dr Who fan just not a fan of this season. To each his/her own. I'm sure some loved it..Score: 2/5
Love the Doctor, despise the pricingI love these episodes but a 10 dollar difference between SD and HD is ridiculous in my opinion. Whoever determines the pricing should be sent off to Skaro! Iâm going to have to wait for a discount on this one. Love the episodes. Peter Capaldi is awesome. I loved Matt Smith and David Tennant, but got tired of the âromanceâ aspect to the story lines. This Doctor is all business. âNo flirting on the TARDISâ with this Doctor and I love it! A bit of flash mixed with a clean mouthed Malcolm Tucker sold me. Canât wait for the next season with him. Flash that red, Capaldi! Change that sonic though to make it your own. :).Score: 5/5
Go SD version- season passGot SD season pass, no complaints. Airs Saturday, downloads Sunday. Quality just fine, 720p plenty good for my viewing. This new Doctor seems darker, moodier and plods into solutions rather than knows the solution. The writing this season at first not meeting my expectations but the recent introduction of "Missy" has me interested but I admit the forest in London and the train in space were different and entertaining. The underlying theme to this season seems to be about someone that has been minipulating the Doctor and Clara which is now pointing to this "Missy", can not say more, spoilers! So far worth the money in SD..Score: 4/5
Strong female leadIn the first episode the doctors script had him Acting disoriented and illogical, the strong lead character Clara/Sarah, was constantly correcting and arguing, leading the doctor character. 2 The second episode again featured Clara leading the doctor around and telling him how to behave. I did enjoy the second episode more than the first, negatively -it did consist primarily of war, violence and constant fighting. 3. The third episode again features the illogical doctor Spouting incorrect nonsense while the lead character Clara/Sarah' straightens out his thoughtless nonsense. Again with a contrived story. 3.5 Death in heaven episode Is shrouded in religion, superstition and reincarnation of the dead. The end of the episode leaves us wondering if The Doctor is going to permanently go back to Gallifrey Or if the suddenly appearing Santa character will get him to Go somewhere else. Fin. 4. Stopped buying Dr who Until BBC gets a script Not pointed at the 12 year old audience only. -$.Score: 1/5

Buy the ENTIRE Season Pass in NETFLIX insteadI have been a fan of the Dr. Since the early 70âs and have seen all of the episodes. I really hate to say this but: Save your money, the entire season pass in NETFLIX is only 6$ so donât waste your money on the iTunes season pass. Sure you get all the behind the scenes stuff, but the Christmas Special IS NOT included in this TV series. Unlike the BBC in England, BBC America releases the Dr. Who Christmas Specials as a separate âTV Seasonâ in iTunes - at a huge price to the consumer - without any season number to organise it according to where it should be in relation to the rest of the series and then BBC-America and ITunes re-releases the entire season a while later with the special included, often at a discounted price! For that reason and that reason only I am rating it with 1 star.. otherwise the BBC UK (Not US) has done a wonderful job with this show - long may the Dr. reign supreme..Score: 1/5
Best series in yearsOkay, so the story with the Moon Baby was kind of awful, and the one with the tiger was even worse, but otherwise this has been one of the best and most consistent series of Who in years. I feel like I can actually watch the episodes on their on merit instead of getting bogged down in whether or not the companion is pregnant with the Doctor's wife etc. I loved Eleven, but hated his arcs. Twelve is just as enjoyable to watch and, so far, there are no bizarre plotlines to take away from that. SCORE!.Score: 4/5

Far enough into the series to review?We have had eight episodes now, and the twelfth Doctor's tenure is now almost fully established. I was skeptical about Capaldi playing the Doctor when it was announced and the episodes so far have done little to allay those fears. Capaldi hasn't got the youthful exuberance of Smith or the charm of Tennant and Ecclestone. He is however quieter, more subdued. This benefits the show greatly as other characters are able to shine. Jenna Coleman has, in my eyes at least, established herself as the best companion that the Doctor has had since the show's return in 2005. Guest stars such as Hermione Norris and Frank Skinner have had room to really shine. Barring one or two misfires, the writing has been a huge step forward. Not since series 5 have we had such wonderful story-telling. Into The Dalek is the first time something original has been done with the Daleks in my lifetime (I was born in '87). Kill The Moon was brooding and tense. The Caretaker was fun and light but full of character development. The only real let down has been Gatiss' Robots Of Sherwood, which missed the mark completely. Gatiss has done some incredible work recently on Sherlock and with An Adventure In Space And Time, but his Doctor Who work has never done it for me. Although I usually find that Gatiss' scripts are full of big Ideas that are poorly realised on screen, I found that I didn't like the characters, the plot or the dialogue of this year's contribution. Overall a good series that feels like it is preparing the groundwork for the coming few years... whether that future includes Capaldi and Coleman is yet to be seen, but there is plenty of room for a rallying finale. Five stars awarded due to tone, overall quality of stories and the amount of risks that have seemingly paid off so far..Score: 5/5
