A lot of people have been slamming her performance.  I think she was not
bad as the Dr.  However, I had trouble with the pace of the episodes and
maybe the writing.  It was like they spent a lot of time building up to the
resolution and then did not have enough time to really solve them in a way
that I found satisfying.  Maybe there were too many companions to cover?

I felt like they sort of made it up as they went along more than previous
Doctors did.

I also liked her quirkiness.  I did not like the one story that the Daleks
were involved in.  I could not put my finger on it, but it felt like it
broke continuity somehow.  The one with the giant spiders, and the season
opener, were both pretty blah.  The two I liked the most were the one with the
mirrorworld, and the one with the witches.

So, I cannot say she was a bad Dr., but I can say it was not my favorite
season.  It may even be my least favorite of the "new" series.
