My reaction
Synopsis: a mysterious alien travels through space and time with a human girl
How I saw it: on video several times (have on DVD), most recently over the past couple weeks
Concept: Great.
Story: Indifferent. A couple of episodes are great, but most of this season is just okay.
Characters: Good.
Dialog: Good.
Pacing: Great.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Good.
Acting: Great.
Music: Good.
Subjective Rating: 9/10 (One of my favorites). Easily the worst season so far. I have to admit that if I wasn't a fan and saw an episode from season two (other than one of the few great ones), I might wonder what the fuss was about. On the other hand, the first time I saw season two, the awesomeness of David Tennant was more than enough to make me love it.
