it was definitely better than it has been recently. kind of a shame; i thought seasons five and six were both really good, especially since smith still had so much of tennant's shadow hanging over him for season five, then he took it and made it his own, and now season seven has just kind of been a bit... ehhh. it's been so disjointed; the blockbuster first half/losing the ponds in the middle of the season/the kind of middling return episodes... i dunno. whole thing has been a bit of a shemozzle.
and as much as i have grown to love matt smith as the doctor, i can't help but feel that the return of ten and rose in the 50th will open up a few old wounds for a lot of people for whom tennant is "their" doctor.
also kind of wary about this whole "john hurt playing part of the doctor" thing - valeyard theories abound, which i am far more comfortable with than any suggestion (no matter how spurious) that he is either a really old version of the eighth doctor or the "real", forgotten, ninth doctor.
