The British import--which wraps its third season under writer Steven Moffat (Sherlock) on May 18--remains a riot of witty weirdness. Read full review

While not the best series, still 10/10. The best episode is the Power of Three: Chibnall did some amazing character work in one episode alone. The Angels take Manhattan, The Snowmen, Asylum of the Daleks, and the Name of the Doctor were all amazing.

Loved season 7 very much! It had so much change but pulled off everything very nicely and had some great stories and set for the 50th anniversary in a big/EPIC way! :D

Each episode seems fresh and uses a different genre to make it feel like a big blockbuster. Action, comedy, thriller and western are the genres used here to good effect. The first episode "Asylum of the Daleks" has the right amount of action and character moments, by this I mean the actors have got their character worked out which started to come through in series 6. Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill have portrayed a number of stages of their relationship on the show and Series 7 feels like a natural progression, they enter their final stages on the show as they leave in episode 5. Their performance's are heart breaking as they should be and their epic exit from the show isn't a let down in the american set "The Angles Take Manhattan". Matt Smiths performance continues to be as fun and weird as in the last series as the Doctor. The first and last episodes of the first part of the series are the best but the middle three aren't without merit. The second, a sort of comedy wasn't my taste but as a one off it was fun also Mark Williams plays Rory's dad gives a brings the story to life. "A Town Called Mercy" continues the series, filmed in Spain is a good story but can't live up to the Toby Whitehouse's last script "The Girl Who Waited". The 4th episode suffers a bad ending which leaves you confused which is a shame since the rest is one of the series' strongest to date. The special and visual effect continue to measure up to movie standards and there are enough twists, turns, brilliant acting, explosions and Daleks to keep you watching. Also look out for the new companion Clara Oswin who is brilliantly played by Jenna Louise Coleman who completely changes the show. If Part 2 keeps this up this will be the best series of NeWho to date!… Expand

Steven Moffat had a lot to make up for after the hit and miss series 6, so did he make for it, let's find out:

Asylum of the Daleks is an incomprehensible mess (3/10) Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is fun & exciting (9/10) A Town called Mercy is fun but flawed (5/10) The Power of Three is aSteven Moffat had a lot to make up for after the hit and miss series 6, so did he make for it, let's find out:

Asylum of the Daleks is an incomprehensible mess (3/10)
Dinosaurs on a Spaceship is fun & exciting (9/10)
A Town called Mercy is fun but flawed (5/10)
The Power of Three is a nice establishing story for Amy & Rory's finale (7/10)
The Angels take Manhattan throws away everything Power of Three established (6/10)
The Snowmen doesn't even try to make sense (3/10)
The Bells of Saint John is a bit redeeming for Moffat (8/10)
The Rings of Akhaten is loads of fun story-wise (9/10)
Cold War is very middle of the road (5/10)
Hide can't decide what it's all about, but I still like it (7/10)
Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS, I don't need to explain why this is bad (3/10)
The Crimson Horror sort of divides my opinions (6/10)
Nightmare in Silver is an odd beast with ridiculously overpowered cybermen (7/10)
The Time of the Doctor is way too bizarre (7/10)

So yeah another hit and miss series, the fact that I don't have a single 10/10 here suggests that this is more hit than miss, as for the specials:

The Day of the Doctor is an awesome celebration (9/10)
The Time of the Doctor is really what Matt Smith deserved as a finale (10/10)

Anyway let's hope series 8 can deliver more hope to doctor who.… Expand

Season 7 this show is getting tired. The problem? The writing. Despite punchy performances from it's actors, the stories simply aren't there. New companion Clara is ably played, but has zero chemistry with Matt Smith. Dull and predictable it's time this show took another rest.
