What issues, besides the Slitheen? O_o IDK, I feel like season 1 is actually one of the more solid seasons, when you look at the episodes, like in terms of writing and plots definitely better than much of season 2 (which sadly has Ten and Rose, but not such great plots/writing to support their epic win...:/).

I think I could never love this one as much because of the WTF/time jump factor and such (it doesn't feel as tight to me), though maybe I will like it more after I see part two...though I don't think it'd ever be a favorite for me. But you are a lot more invested in Amy/Rory and co than I am! ;)
