Some fantastic episodes here!

8. Tooth and Claw. Never really liked the story.

7.The Shakespeare Code. One very boring story and Shakespeare defeats witches with words - just lazy storytelling.

6. The Beast Below. Had so many great concepts just rushed through them way too quickly.

5. The End of the World. Asthetically pleasing for sur e but I just did not care for the characters but at least the Face of Boe made an appearance even if he did not do anything.

4. The Fires of Pompeii. The end moment where they saved the family was wonderful and started the character development of Donna and Capaldi and Karen Gillan but it was mostly boring with a good plot line.

3. Dinosaurs On a Spaceship. Very much like you I hated it at first but rewatched it and thought it was absolutely brilliant. A brilliant blend of comedy and darkness and the Ponds! Brian!!!!!!

2. Into the Dalek. A very fun and exciting episode but it had possibly my favourite Dalek moment of new who when the Daleks just killed absolutely everyone, well almost, but the Daleks were finally made dangerous again and this is my 2nd favourite new who Dalek story.

1. Day of the Moon. I know another Moffat era dominated list but this is the second part to my all time favourite Doctor Who episodes and the tension, Silents, mystery and the resolution were absolutely perfection. Doctor Who does not get much better than that but neither does any other TV series - only Sherlock can even get to that level.
