Blood for the Baron!

Matt Smith needs to learn how to fight properly maybe fencing lessons or something so he looks less like a sissy fighting. But otherwise I don't regret watching him.

Na, I dont think The Doctor should know how to fight. It's not like he's doing MMA or anything and he's meant to be against violence, so I think the looking like a sissy fits in with the character!

David Tennant's doctor used a sword at least once and looked convincing

probably because Tennant's done stage fighting before being a Shakespearean actor and all.

can't wait for the finale!!!

Ok good point but actors can at any given time be given training for a role especially if it's something they haven't done before.

yes, but where was it necessary in any of the episodes in this season for Eleven to be a good fighter?

The "vampires in venice" one. It's just my opinion by the way you don't have to agree with me.

Fantastic ending to the series...River Song must be pretty hard core, I mean whats she done (or going to) do that's so bad that a Dalek is terrified of her & begs for mercy?
(apart from revoking the law on easy access for wheel chair users )
More wild speculation here, but I think she may end up killing the Doctor in some future point in time...maybe even rigging up the TARDIS explosion

.

i've loeved every single episode this season, yes, even Victory.

and i'm so glad we're getting a regular male companion and a pair of companions for Xmas/next year.

Moff's also promised all will be revealed about River in season 6...

I liked Matt Smith in the role and agree that regularly having more than one companion makes for more interesting times on-board the TARDIS. It can provide for better story development as they regularly get split up and find different strands to a plot. Rory's character works well and brings a useful new dimension to the to date over-played Doctor and his girls go travelling set piece (with one or two exceptions along the way of course).

Comparing this series to previous, I still enjoyed series 4 with the Davros finale much more overall - I really rated all but the first episode in that series - there were some real crackers. This series promised more than it delivered for me - I thought most of the episodes were a little average. The exception for me was the Silurian two-parter and the enjoyable Vampires in Venice episode. The Weeping Angels two-parter was also good - wish they hadn't killed the 'Bishop' character as I thought he was excellent. Victory of the Daleks could have delivered more, although I loved the concept. The final two parts were perhaps better than average.

Ramble ramble ramble . . . must stop
