2005 we have a plastic dolls ontrolled from the London Eye, a single Dalek taking out an entire military Base of people begore commiting suicide, 3 fat aliens taking control of the world before being blown up, and the Dalek Emperor defeated with the "heart of the TARDIS" (or something)
Daleks with feelings: Daleks do not have feelings other than hate for other species, such is their nature. Davies has essentially re-written the Daleks to make them more human. Moffat has now gotten rid of most of the 'standard' enemies entirely, because he openly expressed that they were no longer scary.

2006 we have a werewolf, we have the cybermen, we have the Doctor against Satan, and finally Daleks vs Cybermen
(I assume 'Satan' is 'The Beast') I quite liked that double, but then again it wasn't written by Davies. Dalek's vs Cybermen was a little out-of-hand I thought, I dont like the idea of 'the void' and things being able to hang around in there.

2007, The Anjels....moving when you dont see them and seding you in time to liove to death...the Master.... oh the Master...
Loved the angels, and that the doctor didnt actually appear as the main protagonist. This one was written by Moffat. It's also one of my favourite episodes. The master was done pretty well, probably the best season finale that Davies had written. This was because of the idea of paradoxes largely, and the relationship of Martha and her Mother throughout the series being so influenced.
2008, Sonta-Ha! and Davros (finally)
HATED Davros. I'll just leave it there. The Doctor seemed a bit overpowered now though- he could be seen to be immortal since he never fails.
2009 i wont say much cos i havent seen all of the specials but yeah pretty good
but then....
2010 a race coming to destroy the earth searching for a creature who is found because everyone was texting.... (compare this to everyone 'believing in' the doctor for his semi-resurrection in the Master trilogy that you like?)
The weeping anjels ....move and snap peoples next ...defeated by Gravity and being "wiped from Exsistance"... (Fantastic classic horror with the 'image' of an angel, and sets up the ending to the season nicely for the 'Rory's back!' twist).
the daleks turned into a little Gay rainbow....previously they were not even scary making them colourful is just gonna make that worse... (He's stated that he doesnt want to bring back the Daleks, because they're no longer threatening.)
the sonic screwdriver now doesnt wokr on wood (why should it work on everything? it never worked on wood)
and the GRAND FINALE was just a montage of the doctors enemies coming up to say "we hate the Doctor" and its defeated by "wiping the Doctor from exsistance"....but he is brought back by thinking of him... (again, compare to the Master episodes, but with a VERY clever use of time- it's not that 'thinking of him' will bring him back, it's that him still being remembered will)
2011 (so far) an enemy who dissapears from near and long memory when you arent looking at them...who plan to take over (basically) they are defeated by playing the 1st moon landing and showing it too the world and apparently thats like some sort of clever and climatic ending...ok a girl regenerated but we now know what thats led too
(the silence is a great link to the series before, and plays on classical horror fears of being watched by something we cannot see, and being controlled by an unknown influence)
a blob of flesh wants to reconised as exsisting person... (didnt like this one much, I have to admit-
the Cybermen have made it into Space...after previously being MADE on planet Earth....and the 'C' on their chest plate has dissapeared... How the hell? (see above posts)
also why was Rory wearing the roman centurion costume again? there was no need (why does the doctor like fish fingers and custard? why create a 'warp star' containing an explosion? there was also no need)
its terrible and that last Episode (lets kill Hitler) made me want to pull my finger nails out with a set of plyers....
(Character depth on the part of River, Rory and Amy- now we know more about their collective past, and so make us better understand their future demeanour. We know the doctor 'dies' from the first episode of the season, to clarify it, and the doctor learns that this is the date he dies, it's a very clever episode, and sets up the rest of the half-season)
I prefer Moffat to Davies: I prefer his style. It's clever, with a need to pay attention to the details. The Doctor (Matt Smith) is not all-knowing, but has excellent instinct, making him more vulnerable and more unpredictable. Contrast this to Tennant's Doctor, and the Doctor's personality has changed massively.
I understand that people REALLY love Tennant, but are you not so used to him that Smith and Moffat's style (more of a classical horror than superhero, and with smarter use of time), you find simply uncomfortable?
