Yes, fair point. Semi intelligent. There have been some misfires. Hungry Earth/Cold Blood was terrible. (And exactly what I expected it to be from the ex-Torchwood writer who penned it, sadly.) Victory Of The Daleks was pretty awful too.
But given how absolutely terrible I thought all of last years specials were, and most of the season before that. (I don't think there is a single episode from those two years worth of Who that I've wanted to see twice.) The step up in quality has actually made me look forward to saturdays for new who again. Which is a pleasant change.
And no, Vincent and the Doctor had no plot. But it was a very interesting examination of depression.
Matt Smith hasn't quite convinced me yet. I still prefer Tennant.
Though in my heart of hearts, I'm hoping the shock reveal of this weeks episode will be somebody opens the Pandoricum to let 11 out, and it turns out to be 9, come to save the day.
