Haven't watched Flatline yet, but I wouldn't give up on the season WPP, the moments that have The Doctor trying to figure out what kind of man he is, are pretty incredible. The old references, him offering Jelly Babies and channeling Classic Doctors Are great, I just wish we would get on with it.
All the other doctors by this time knew who they were, but this one doesn't yet. Does he remember that Gallifrey was saved? If he does why isn't he looking for it? He's channeling classic Doctors, plus remembers Matts Doctor but doesn't seem to remember Chris or David's Doctors and their companions, Why? Whats with him choosing the face of the Stone Peddler in Fires of Pompeii? I still want space and time and running for your life and clever stories, but the heavy companion episodes plus the children and Pink are getting in the way of knowing who the Doctor is. He might be more alien this time around, but no matter how much the show has changed, the companions are there for us to get to know and connect with the Doctor, not take over the show.
