It's fun watching people react to this season, because to me it seems like a classic textbook RTD bit of Doctor Who:

Veers wildly between episodes that are almost unwatchable and some of the best episodes the show has ever had.
Is absolutely bonkers throughout.
Gay as all hell and completely unapolagetic about it.
Finale that writes itself into an awkward spot, then handwaves a bunch of stuff away and hits the Big Reset Button^TM^.
Creates more David Tennants.
Digs up a 50+ year old villain that nobody was thinking about for purely RTD reasons.
Villain hiding behind an anagram, also for RTD reasons.

It's everything I'd hoped it would be lol

Yeah, people complain that they defated an ageless ultimate evil by a dogwalk?

I've seen an RTD season finale, where they use the power of a prayer to turn the Doctor into an almighty space-Jesus.

I also remember the TARDIS moving Earth back to its proper place by just dragging it across the galaxy like a tow truck lol.
