[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 9247008, member: 58197"] Well, there's no doubt that RTD is back -- with all the good and bad that comes with that. The third special was a typical Davies finale, complete with overstuffed plot and a painful and ill-explained deus ex machina. (Also, why did 15 appear with shirt and tie and underwear but not trousers? I kept waiting for someone to say something about that, but it went just completely ignored as far as I could tell. Or were those just extremely short shorts?) Neil Patrick Harris was an incredible Toymaker, though. The first episode of the new season was a typical Davies opener, doing a splendid job establishing the new companion and situating her in a life with connections and family, and laying the groundwork for both her and the Doctor's emotional arcs. The plot had a lot of holes, but nothing I couldn't overlook. I like Ruby even if she does seem awfully Rose-ish (perhaps deliberately, considering their names). The 15th Doctor hasn't revealed much of his personality yet, but what he's shown so far is fun and engaging. So I guess I'm moderately optimistic for the coming season. I just have to remember not to expect much from the finale. [/QUOTE]
