I also really disliked Hungry Earth/Cold Blood to the point I didn't even finish watching Cold Blood (well, I skipped to the end to watch the plotty bit of Rory's death). Though for my money, The Beast Below was pretty good (Liz Ten being the main reason, yes) aside from the annoying Tennant-like speech about humans at the end, but the Daleks episode was pretty boring.
Vincent and the Doctor was a bit plotless but as a single episode designed as a bit of a different take that doesn't bother me.
The Stonehenge Speech I rolled my eyes at the first time round but - and I did actually mean to put this in my review - thought was rather remarkably and satisfyingly retconned as only "working" because he was standing exactly where they all wanted him: all the aliens were tricking him and he bought it because he bought his own propaganda. I actually wondered if it was a bit of a jab at the Tennant era.
I'm keeping my fingers for an ending other than "everybody wish" next week. (Though weirdly, given the fairytale aspect, I might be all right with it if the ending is Amy wishes because Amy is special because of [insert weird plot twist]).
