It's like if Aliens was about how the Alien we saw before wasn't actually the norm for the drones, and instead that the entire species could actually teleport and make new aliens if you so much as thought about them. Also they could speak now.

Oh, so they are basing it closely on Alien :v:

I keep wanting to be pedantic and say it's actually the 50th Anniversary, but then I remember that even amongst us spergy Doctor Who fans nobody actually cares about that distinction :)

1st anniversary: 1964. 50th anniversary = 1964 + 49 years = 2013. This isn't a millennium in 2000/2001 issue.

The relative merits of Spare Parts and The Chimes of Midnight could be debated until the heat death of the universe, but I don't think it can be readily denied that Chimes is better as a Christmas story.

Here's a related video that Youtube sent me to, a Lego version of Smith's regeneration

That's really disturbing, I didn't remember how that scene went so the first bit looked like it was the Doctor's dismembered corpse scattering the floor

Re-watching it with this in mind, it changes the scene to seem like a prank by the Doctor, leaping out and surprising her after she finds his dismembered corpse scattered about the TARDIS.

Disagree. Midnight was very good, but everything else peaked at "ok" or, more frequently, was dreadful.

and Partners in Crime is utterly stupid but saved by the immediate chemistry between Tennant and Tate.

Fires is ok, but the whole nonsense about the fixed points in time really doesn't make any sense in the episode as presented, and the comedy Cambridge Latin Course family was, like most comedy in modern Doctor Who, not very funny.
I'm not a fan of the Library two parter, as has been talked about previously, and Journey's End is absolutely dire apart from when Davros is talking.

Agreed on the rest.

Also Surprising number of people really liked the 2nd episode: "The End of the World". I thought that was panned as pretty awful by our collective hivemind.

I thought it was regarded as "generally pretty great"? Maybe that's just because Nefud liked it so much.
