Moffat Who simply looks better.

Yep. I thought the flying sharks were pretty stupid, actually.

Yeah, that bugged the hell out of me too to be honest. Why would an alien flying creature look like a Terran shark? It should have at least had wings of some sort.

But then the shows always had a problem with creating aliens by just copying earth animals. (the Jadoon, and the fly headed aliens from Planet of the Dead for example).

Oh my god, that is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my entire life!
That's annoying, and not conducive to intelligent conversation.

Also, I'm pretty sure you've heard funnier things than that.
No, I have not. Saying "Amys choice" is your favourate episode in a while is pure comedy. if this forum had a hall of fame, that post would be there.
^Or else he has a weird sense of humour
Actully, I do have a sick sense of humour, but I think you'd agree that saying Amys choice is your favourate episode is pure comedy gold. He was basicly saying "sod daleks, sod aliens in downing street, sod the end of time, sod the parting of ways, Amys choice is way better than all of those!".
[ I think they need to stop with the Christmas specials. They've gone on for about 7 years now, they've gotten old. The only really good one was the regeneration two parter and remains within my top three storys ever. I wouldn't mind them if they didn't always have to give them a Christmas theme, I know it's made for Christmas, but how about making it enjoyable instead of festive?

The Christmas specials have become an annual television event. They bring in Doctor Who's highest ratings for the year, and attract big name guest stars. They'll continue to be around for the forseeable future.
:( Dam it!
The Christmas specials don't need to stop. They just need to be better, and I think they need to involve the current companions. "A Christmas Carol" had Amy and Rory in a crashing spaceship B-plot that nobody cared about, and "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe" only had them in the last 3 minutes of the episode (though, admittedly, it was the best 3 minutes of the entire thing...I CRIED).
A very good point, the end of time was one of the best episodes ever, and that was an xmas episode!

I honestly can't imagine how they could be better than "A Christmas Carol". With, you know, Michael Gambon. And flying sharks.
Flying sharks are gay. And stupid, very stupid. Never heard of Michael Gambon, is he the old man? The whole thing was stupid. Someone I know cried at the end of that episode. Not sure if he cried because of the heart warming (and pointless) momment, or if he cried because since Moffat got in, there has been less to look foward to in general because he cares more about his beloved Sherlock than dr who, so he does not try so hard.
I know a lot of people enjoyed that one, but I found it really boring. I'm pretty sure I dozed off half-way through when it first aired. Plus I found the time travel to be a little too timey-whimey.
I hated it. Among the worst episodes ever. This is doctor who, a science fiction show, not a romantic comedy staring Adam Sandler. I dosed off too. But if you thought flying sharks were stupid, just wait til you see the doctor, the widdow and the wordrobe when the closest thing to a threat are two talking trees with stupid hats.

I didn't mind Any and Rory's small part. The Christmas specials have tended to be Doctor solo stories anyway.

And the less said about tDtWatW, the better. Except for a good first third and the ending, it was definitely a bump in the road in a series of generally good Christmas stories.
The doctor the widdow and the wardrobe have set dr who back to the Diseny times of the 1940s. Listen to the voices of the tree people, then imagine an overweight mouse next to Mickey mouse. Or they sound slike fat people after eating a curry.

You DOZED OFF half-way through a show with MICHAEL GAMBON and FLYING SHARKS? It's like you and I are two completely different people.
There was only about 10 minites of the flying sharks if you add them all up. The rest of it was an old man moaning because his penis don't work no more, and he's taking it out on the world, so the doctor manipulates him to fall inlove ith a woman who is far too young for him. And where the hell is it even meant to be set? Onemomment he's in a steampunk world, the next him and the doctor are in the 1940s. It's stupid. Also hate how the last two xmas specials are basedoff books, if RTD was still here, we would not have had to put up with flying sharks, talking tree people, and Michael Gambon moan while falling in love with a girl who's far too young for him. Renember the first xmas special with those bone head people which I can't spell? renember th one with the giant spider woman? Renember theone with the cybermen in Victorian London? Renember the one with the Master and a regeneration? Who made all of them? RTD! Renember the one with the flying sharks and old pedo? Renember the one with talking tree people? Who made them? Moffat! Do the math.
Yep. I thought the flying sharks were pretty stupid, actually.
That's because you're a sensible person which has good taste.
 
For what it's worth, Green Lantern, "Amy's Choice" is generally a very popular episode and considered one of the best of Season 5.

For the record, the Judoon are cool, hope they come back at some point, but Moffat might ruing them for me too. Same with the Ood, one of RTDs best origional creations which were used quite often. Moffat's not used them once. But yeah, they do that too much. We'll probably see a wolly sheep in the next series, or a man with the head of a giant stick insect.

Wait, season 5???????????????????????? wait a minite, I thought this one was season 6. Oh god, I mixed titled up! Is Amy choice the one with the dream lord, or episode seven? If so, I messed up truely! I thought Amys choice was episode eleven of season six.
 
Moffat has used the Ood in both "The Doctor's Wife" and in the new webisodes leading into Season 7.

"Amy's Choice" is the episode where the Dream Lord creates two "dreams" and Amy has to decide which one is the real one.

Oh yeah, I renember now. I think I suppressed that one from my memmory, that was annother terrible episode. They ruined the Ood dude, THE OOD! They took an innocent creature from the whoniverse, AND THEY MADE THEM SUCK! I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY MOFFAT, YOU JUST KILLED THE OOD FOR ME. :wah::wah::wah::wah::wah:
 
Your opinions don't actually have a lot of depth behind them. Just yelling that things "suck" or "are gay" or "have been ruined" and throwing a lot of emoticons around doesn't actually make for a particularly convincing argument.

Oh crap! I liked that one, I thought you meant the 11th episode in series 6 where she becomes an old woman. I thought that was called Amy Choice because she chooses whether to let her old cranky self live or the young one.What's the name of #11 series 6?
 
Amy's Choice was an excellent episode, second best of season five (Vincent and the Doctor coming in first).

"The Girl Who Waited," also generally considered a very good episode, though it made me want to punch The Doctor in the face.

At the end of the day, you just like what you like and hate what you hate. Just showing my opinion here..........and being a complete asshole at the same time! :D

No way. Vincent and the doctor sucked. Ok, it may have been good, I just didn't like it. There was no real threat once again. Just some invisible thing. The weeping angel two parter was one of the best in series five. The Eleventh Hour was good too.

Ok guys, the girl who waited was one of the worst episodes ever, not amys choice. Also, how aould you say it was a good episode, it was terrible, and worthless. The only good thing in that episode was that we saw a bit of the doctors dark side, but even then....terrible.

Apart from the Sielence two parter and lets kill Hitler, can't think of any really good episodes.

I know this sounds.....worthless, but who else hopes the doctor still has his long green coat in the next series? I just really liked it, reminded me of Tom Bakers last series, also his best series.

It wouldn't be a flying shark then. Come on, it's Doctor Who, it's not exactly a program that focuses on scientific verisimilitude. In fact, any move in that direction would severely weaken the series, in my opinion.

It might help if you explained why you thought these episodes were "worthless and terrible."
 
Paraphrased GreenLantern said:
"Said sod off to Aliens On Downing Street in favor of declaring Amy's Choice as a favorite"?

Would Aliens on Downing Street be the Farting Slitheen? Your idea of Great episodes and terrible episodes seems to be disagreeing alot with many here and many polls.

The Doctor's Wife
Vincent and The Doctor
Amy's Choice (OK, you've backed off this one)
The Girl Who Waited

These are all Highly appreciated episodes, that you hate

You mentioned the Silurian 2 Parter, that you liked it (I actually did too, but, it wasn't received well around here on polls)

The Farting Slitheen are generally not received well either
 
The Farting Slitheen episodes are perfect for the original audience of Doctor Who. Viewers 5-18 love a good fart/fart joke.
 
To be honest I only though three episodes of S6 actually sucked. The pirate one, the second half of the gangers episode, and Night Terrors. I enjoyed the rest. In particular The Doctor's Wife is one of the best Who episodes ever, and both the Girl Who Waited and particularly The God Complex were excellent.
 
@RoJohen
It's just my personal preferances, do they really need reasons?
@Sindatur
The doctors wife was a really hollow and heartless episode, also rediculess and felt like it was a cheap way to get people to watch the episode: by putting one of the best species on the whoniverse in an episode so people will watch it, but the episode itself was terrible. Vincent and the doctor, I accept it was a good episode, I just hated it though mainly because I'm not a fan of the episodes which go back in time. One of the best things and only good things about Moffat is the cut back in back in time episodes. Amys choice, I got cobfused with the girl who waited, I liked Amys choice, the dream lord was good. Not sinister ennougth for my taste though. The girl who waited remains in my top three worst episodes ever. I was terribile. So boring. How can that be a well recieved episode, what was good about it? The doctor was a complete asshole, Rorry was a useless git, and Amy was some old woman. Always hated Amy anyway. She's so boring, she's the John Stewart of the green lantern world. The Silurian two parter was ok, but I don't like their more human like look. I want to see their more monserous look. The Slitheen is just one of my personal favourates (actully, I could name alot better episodes). Just a random example of what I thought a good episode is.
@Starkers
The pirate one dide suck, both Ganger ones sucked, but midnight terrors was ok compared to the others of that series. If it was in annother series, yeah I'd say it's bad, but out of the series 6 episodes, it was one of the highlights and among the only episodes bareable.
