Also, I was disappointed that the Cybermen barely featured in the episode despite them being the villains. All in all, it was hardly the episode I was hoping for...

And yeah, this episode was written by someone else, but Moffat sorts out the order of the episodes and the outline of the series. Seriously, there better be a damn fantastic surprise at the end of episode 13 or I'm suing! xD

What I don't want is a finale that breaks all the rules already put in place. One that solves all it's problems with an anti-climax. I don't want another The Big Bang.

Unless the fixed point wasn't him dying, the fixed point was the teselctor getting hit all along and he was never going to die? So confused...
Either way, bring on the sneaky Doctor.[/spoiler]

Hmmm, I do think Episode 12 wasn't that great. I mean, the bad guys feature for all of 5 minutes and the plot device of the week was cheesier than a pile of Cheddar. That said, I did like it for the closure provided. And that's it. :T
Episode 13,
...
Was episode 13. I wasn't thrilled by it, and it wasn't the strongest ending ever.
I'll say this about Matt Smith, he has excellent stand-alone episodes, but the series finales he's given are sorta been there, done that. >:U 'Kill it/pwn it/point karma at it with the power of love and friendship' was the Tennant-era all over. Why can't we go a little darker here, and this time set it up so that it's not a deus ex machina that saves the day, but a method that is possible within some set rules for the universe.
Oh wait. This is Doctor Who. How time works changes every episode. Silly me.

I really enjoy the show. Got into the modern version first, but I've watched a lot of classic Doctor stories and I do like them, too. It's really hard to nail down a favorite; there's really no bad Doctor, even the 8th in the awful movie. I hear the audio stories are really good, though (and canon now).
I have four different replica sonic screwdrivers to date, as well as a TARDIS and a Vortex Manipulator I picked up at Comic-Con. I wouldn't say I'm a diehard Whovian, but I'm steadily getting there. I'm definitely excited for the 50th anniversary special, of course, so there's that to look forward to. And the Christmas special, even if it'll be hard to say goodbye to Matt Smith. Then again, it was hard to see David Tennant go, but that went pretty well, so I'm interested to see how things go.

I went digging through the topics to see if it was there before starting one on my own. ^_^;;
That's how I went into the show, as well. I find it hard to like some of the older episodes that I've seen: they tend to flounder a bit on unnecessary bits of the plot, staying on shots for too long (a common film school problem apparently), and sound quality issues that compound obstructions of accent- I can't understand most of what Ian and the human female say in the show. I have to put on freakin' subtitles. Also, apparently the episodes with Ace in them don't really showcase how awesome she is.
Still, I very much enjoyed The Three Doctors, as any time the Doctor interacts with his selves is fantastic.
As for Doctor Who paraphenalia, I have two versions of Eleven's sonic screwdriver: one in wiimote form, and two in DS stylus form. However, the wiimote one doesn't do that open-y thing, and while the DS styli do, neither version lights up or makes that sonic noise.
Wait, Smith is leaving at the Christmas special? Understandable to trade off at a climactic place (end of the season), but part of me is quite excited to see Dozen, as I shall currently call him as I forget the actor's name and I am currently too lethargic to look it up.
The Day of The Doctor. So excited for it, but somewhat... cautious. Some of the episodes recently felt a bit... rushed. I'm looking at you, "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship".
