My thoughts on this series of the Doctor: WOW. I really did not expect (or even want) to like Matt Smith as the Doctor. I was a total Tennant girl, largely because he reminded me so much of Tom Baker's version of the Doctor. I refused to watch the final episode with David Tennant for the longest time because I felt like that would mean it was really done. I actually didn't see it until I got talked into watching the first episode with Matt Smith (my dad said that I would *love* the adorable little girl in it and I couldn't resist...), and then I only watched the end of Tennant after I'd seen the entire Matt Smith series. I, of course, cried my eyes out for about an hour, but I also had come to a new appreciation of the show as a whole, actually. The more I watched of Matt, the more I felt like he was really a kickback to the "Doctors of Olde..." David Tennant was brilliant and I truly believe he is the ONLY one who could have played the 10th Doctor, based on how different those episodes were. They got into the darker side of the doctor; the troubled side; the painful side. He was funny and sweet, too, but it was a different Doctor than has ever or will ever be seen again. I made the mistake of looking up the words to "Vale Decem" (the song the Ood sings to him) and now I cry my head off every time I hear that as well!!
But on to the Matt Smith series. I love it. I couldn't help loving it! The episodes are brilliantly written, and the characters are AMAZING! I always hated when Micky tagged along with Rose and the Doctor, but when Rory joined Amy for a few episodes, I loved it! The chemistry between all the characters is undeniable, and the reappearance (and teaser for more reappearances) of River Song made the series even better! She is my favorite recurring character ever on that show. (By the way, if you haven't gone back and watched "Silence in the Library" since seeing the last series, go and watch it, because they did such a FANTASTIC job of tying the episodes together!! She even makes a reference to the crash of the Byzantium, before the Time of the Angels episode was even thought up!)
I really could go on for hours about Doctor Who. And I'm serious about a Doctor Who club. I think we need one.
I'm going through watching the fourth series again to fuel my obsession until the Christmas Special airs. Unfortunately, I live in Australia so we probably won't get the episode until 2013 or something ridiculous like that but oh well 
I really enjoyed this last season with Matt Smith. I, also, loved David Tennant because he was my first Doctor but I really do think that Matt Smith is a great Doctor. I was looking forward to The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone, which were good but not as good as Blink but I LOVE River Song so that made up for any non-epicness 
Vincent and the Doctor was amazing and I cried my eyes out. I thought Amy's Choice could have been so good but I think I had too high expectations for it. I got really excited when I found out Moffat would be writing for Doctor Who because the other episodes he wrote when RTD was still writing were my favourites so when I saw the sort of episode Amy's Choice was I thought it would be another Blink. It wasn't, but I still really liked it. The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang were just epic and I loved all the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff. So, to sum up, I really enjoyed this series and am nearly dying with anticipation for the next series and the Christmas Special!
but favorite outside that season would be Journey's End, because that too made me cry. And favorite companion is (obviously) Rose <3
