I LOVED it. Very, very muchly. But, I still must differ on one point.
Anyone who doesn't think this series of Doctor Who is brilliant is totally smoking crack!
Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks was probably the stinkiest pile of Doctor Who that I've ever seen, though I'll admit that I've not seen many of the older episodes that I've been warned off.
For this season, everything else has far exceeded my expectations, so I'll just pretend that the Dalek fiasco didn't really happen. I can even explain WHY it didn't really happen.
See, as I've heard, when Doctor Who wasn't on TV, there were still lots of audio adventures and still lots of books. Eventually, the stories in the books and the audio conflicted, and the groups involved in production started going off in their own directions based on their established timelines.
Retroactive Continuity explains that because Daleks and Time Lords both have the ability to travel in time, multiple timelines were created in the hubub during the Time War.
The Daleks fuxored the timelines, which also explains why the most fuxored story was about Daleks who gave up their abilities to discern three dimensional objects, somewhat symbolic of their desire to conquer resulting in their own destruction and sillyness.

Daleks are the cause and the effect.
