Also, Journey's End has the unfortunate effect of making me kind of hate Ten, and considering I do generally love him, I didn't want to add to that by all the purposeless angst-wallowing that the Specials are. Ah. Well, you do have a point... Bless Ten, he was a walking ball of man!pain, which is not the most attractive thing in the world.
I have written a ton of meta if you want my take on things, my master post is here - scroll down for RTD (Russel T Davies) era. If you want to talk, just comment - I'll reply, trust me! No matter how old the post. :)
The Eleventh Hour was a bit full of things and had pacing problems, It's the most delightful intro! <3333 And I say that as someone who watched from 'Rose' onwards. (Danish originally, but been living in the UK since 1997.) Hope you love the rest of the season. S5 is not perfect, but overall it's the most delightful season of any of them.
This definitely seals it; I'm so going to watch the new series as it airs, never mind that I'm several seasons behind. It'll have been designed to be an easy hop-on point for new viewers, so definitely go for it!
