I watched it, overall I thought it was ok. As usual, much the same as the RTD stuff so my opinion hasn't really changed.
Doctor Who is never going to be (proper) Doctor Who again.
The character of the Doctor doesn't have anything in common with any Doctor from 1963-1989. Now, he could just be some random presenter of CBBC. The classic series Doctors all had their own 'agenda' and sense of mystery about them and you never knew what they were upto. They all had unique personalities and their own eccentricities. The classic show was based on a good story, script, writing, acting and plot development and developing the lore of each serial/story. Now it just seems to be a vehicle for overacting and melodramatics with crap CGI/special effects. It's essentially Hollyoaks with added Sci-Fi.
