[quote=Doivid] No I meant the entire series since 2005, not just the first season. lol [/quote] Ok. Go away. You are dead to me. :what [quote=Halo] 2005 was with Chris Eccleston, right? Yeah, that wasn't the strongest of the Nu-Who series. Eccleston was good, but what Tennant and Smith did with the character was far better, in my opinion. Under Eccleston, the character didn't see much development - and yes, it did often feel rushed as everything was rounded up in a single episode, every time, and he was only contracted for one season. With Tennant as The Doctor, the character saw a lot more subtle development, more complex plots were allowed two episodes, and there were two seasons. When Smith took over, they took this a step further - there were now narratives and mysteries stretching for entire seasons, or even across seasons, and The Doctor began receiving even more development as a character.I can understand why you feel the way you feel having only seen the 2005 season - but like many shows, the first season wasn't the best, and it went from strength to strength. I think the only section worse than the 2005 season (which I still love anyway) has been very recently, when Smith had Clara as a companion, where it hit somewhat of a rut.EDIT: In short, I think that the 2005 season was somewhat testing the waters, and when it received a positive response they felt freer to do more with the characters and storylines in following seasons, to an ever-greater extent.
