The only issues I've had so far is that the writing seems to be more suited to the longer serial format from before New Who started, and thus it felt like about four episodes worth of stuff was being crammed into a single episode. The two parters get a lot better pacing as a result. the last few episodes they seem to have somehow worked out how to squeeze more stuff into the same amount of time without losing too much. (Heck, the Pandorica opens feels like it's about 2 hours of plot in there). I think there's also a certain element of clearing out RTD's stuff and setting up for rebooting some concepts like the Daleks...
I've said it before somewhere, but Matt Smith really is the second coming of Tom Baker, he manages to be alien, and really old, but really full of life, and he does angry very well, and doesn't lean on the angst, it's acknowledged but it's sort of: "Oh, yes, my life is full of some incredibly angst inducing stuff and-. Oh my goodness! Would you look at that shiny thing! *Runs of chasing shiny thing. Which he may only have acknowledged to avoid talking too much about the angst*
Amy is... well, I'm pretty sure Amy is awesome, but she is fairly hard to pin down, possibly part of it we only see her from the Doctor's perspective about 99% of the time, we don't get to see what happens in those gaps in between... also I'm starting to wonder if it's going to turn out that her whole life has been constructed to make her bait for a trap for the Doctor...
River is great, but I have the sneaking suspicion that she's being set up to be the person who kills the Doctor's last incarnation...
I was kind of 'eh' about Rory, his character kind of felt like a re-tread of Mickey, and then they killed him off... and then they brought him back as a capable Roman, and then he turned out to be an Auton, with a personality created from Amy's memories of him... and now I'm not sure what to think, but sort of want the final episode to start with him taking back command of the Auton-Romans and give the coalition of the Doctor's enemies a good kicking.
