Finally got to see all of season 6. Overall, especially the first part of the season, it was a letdown. I didn't like Gaiman's episode much (needed to be two episodes) and the Gangers were almost an all-time low (needed to be one episode). Pirate episode and Closing Time were totally average, complete letdowns (I was looking forward to both). The season opener, Let's Kill Hitler, and the finale were the highlights for me. Hated most of God Complex, but loved the ending of the episode where it was "Goodbye to the Ponds". I really HATE that the Doctor has casually been labelled a liar and a threat to the universe that everyone is scared of...this is not what the Doctor is or what he stands for.
In the future, I'd like to see what Matt Smith could do with a new companion. Amy and Rory just never have had the charm or likeability of other companions--I don't hate them, but it's definitely time for a change. I like Matt Smith a lot, but he needs to not go overboard on the "waving my hands around" and "mumbling non-sense" type of acting.
The show needs to get simpler and get back to more excitement and emotion. I'm all for the "Adventures in time and space" approach of the first few seasons and much less of the "time travel twisted fairy tale" of the last couple Moffat seasons.
