    A terrific two-parter that features aliens, Richard Nixon, and crackling dialogue. [22/29 Apr 2011, p.92]

  1. Absolutely an incredible season starting with the classic Doctor character Matt Smith has created and taking a very dark and sinister turn very quickly. This is an amazing start to the season and I have a feeling it's going to be a long summer waiting for more Doctor Who. Expand
  2. Woah this series is great one of the best in my opinion there were only a few episodes that didnt deliver.. that is of course lets kill hitler and the wedding of river song plus the almost people which wasn't so bad.. the series is fantastic with great episodes such as the doctors wife.. day of the moon and the impossible astronaut plus a curse of the black spot by steven thompson.. lets forget about him though hes a dumbass.. he made the worst episode of season 6. the series was left in us getting questions answered but wanting to ask even more questions.. steven said all will be revealed in season 7. which i cannot wait to end.. only 3 more episodes and its gone well since the bells of saint john.. but steven thompson did a real crap episode so lets forget about that.. this series was nice and very awesome I want to see what moffat holds in the future!

  3. A hit-and-miss season. After the pure concentrated awesomeness that was season 5, I had high expectations for the next season, and while Doctor Who will never suck, this was a disappointing season. The season had a rough start and a rough finish. The story arc felt disjointed with the whole of the season only coming in in uneven intervals in the beginning, middle and end of the season (it was like Steven Moffat wasn't communicating with the rest of the writers). Ironically the best episodes this season were the ones that had absolutely nothing to do with the mediocre part of a story arc which continued on from the previous season and STILL hasn't been resolved. Ultimately this season has its great episodes, good episodes, average episodes and bad episodes. Not as good a season 5 but still worthwhile. Expand
  4. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the season is a continuation of the trends in the first season with Matt Smith as the doctor, with writing that is vastly inferior to every previous doctor. the writers don't know what the doctor would do in most situations and are ignoring the personal growth of the doctor over the years. the writers should not have let any of the daleks survive if they were not going to use them. the only appearance of a dalek in this season was for 1.5 minutes at the last episode. in the previous season he said that he was going to hunt down the daleks, but he found them and did nothing about that huge problem.
