Yes. I have seen all of Seasons 1-4 (Including Eccleston and Tennant)
Have as of now seen the first 5 episodes of season 5 (most recent watched episode has the angels and was a two parter).
I have not seen the rest of 5 or any of 6.
And given that the season that is just now coming out is the 7th, I've seen all of it and am anticipating the Christmas special.

One thing you need to remember is that when the series changes head writers things change up quite a bit. Moff was arrogant enough to retcon a vast amount of what happened in the RTD series and it shows in more ways than one (including the new specials that made it look like the the series only existed from S5 onward.) Moff thought he could do better storytelling than RTD and tried to erase his mistakes, in the end Moff made just as many if not more mistakes than RTD. He cannot even get his own rules of time travel right, half the time it seems these "issues" The Doctor runs into just seem too convenient of an inconvenience. (Such as in Curse of the Black Spot, when the TARDIS was stuck for some reason, which in the end was a load of bull considering that the TARDIS has enough power to PULL A SHIP FROM THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF A BLACK HOLE.) It really does not add up anymore, if Moff finds some lazy way to make an inconvenience happen for The Doctor, he will exploit it.
Also Time rules have been thrown in the trash and picked back up so much it really just does not hold up to anything anymore. Its painful.

Don't anticipate anything good. Moff has failed me twice, if he fails a third time than he has surly lost the edge to the series.
Zero is the Past, One is the Future, The Present is nowhere to be found..

I didn't know about what Void just said, but my thoughts were along the same lines - It seems that they go through a whole rigamarole just to fill up an hour. And even more so, how is it that the Doctor can send the Tardis through some sort of a "bubble" off the edge of the Universe in The Doctor's Wife, but can't visit Rose again?

There is a big difference between going to the edge of the universe and going to a different universe. As you see, also, the TARDIS has a hard time going to the edge, its not just another travel.

I don't disagree with you there, but technically, the bubble was in a different Universe.
There's still no reason why Rose can't be saved, especially with all the "wibbly-wobbly Timey Wimey" things there are in the Doctor Who Universe. It's like Moffat said, "No, it's just not possible, even for the Doctor"...even though we have all these other things that defy the Laws of Physics.
As the doctor said some times: He can't interfere with his own timeline, so, if someone he likes dies/disappears, he needs to let it happen...
Even though he broke that rule some times...
....See what I'm saying? He did in Season 6 - pretty much the basis of Season 6 - and they even had a special where Tennant met, I believe it was, the Seventh Doctor. And you're telling me he can't interfere with his own timeline XD
