I'd say it has the most solid episodes of any of the previous seasons in my opinion. It also look good too in terms of the HD and effects (I think sometimes that isn't the best thing for the show, as it steers it away from dialogue and towards more action, but here it works). I wasn't sure how I was going to react to the whole Rory arc here. I remembered it  but it had been so long. I think this is a case where that sort of thing is done well. Normally not a big fan of that type of plot. Here his return felt appropriately weird and unnerving. Also this is a season where the build up to the finale actually works for me (much of the time with this show, I find all that build up leads to something either underwhelming or off, here I liked it). Also the episodes all stand pretty well one their own (minus one or two). I was surprised how much I liked the Lodger this time around. The first time I saw it I had no idea who James Corden was and I remember finding his character annoying. This time, I liked the love story and it was an interesting Smith performance in a fun story (plus giving amy control of the TARDIS for a bit was cool). Vincent and the Doctor still holds up. My wife loves Van Gogh and this episode landed with her. I thought the way they handled the mental illness was good too (it didn't shy away from the darkness of it, but it also did it with a lot of empathy). Plus that ending is very moving. The concept of the episode was nice as well and I like how they tied Vincent's visions to the final episodes.</p></blockquote><p></p>
