God, I couldn't disagree more. Rose, Dalek, Father's Day, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Bad Wolf and Parting of the Ways are all-time classic Doctor Who episodes, every one. Like, Van Statten is an irritating side character but that's sort of the point of him, right? Likewise for Adam.
Christmas Invasion is brilliant too... and then in series 2 I'd say School Reunion, Girl in the Fireplace, Impossible Planet/Satan Pit and Army of Ghosts/Doomsday are all absolute classics too. Secretly I have a lot of love for Tooth and Claw and Love & Monsters too, though I know those are polarizing in a big way, so ey.
The production value is very rocky and series 1 and 2 are home to two of the worst episodes in New Who (The Long Game/Fear Her), but I honestly still think they're amazing TV with some really brilliant, snappy writing. There's an energy to those first two years that is still unmatched, really, though everything else improved in kind around it. Every RTD year was better than the last, but I still don't think 1/2 are bad, really.
I have no illusion about being in the majority here. I'm on record as saying I far preferred Moffat to RTD, and that is in itself a controversial viewpoint.
Well, I think production quality matters. I don't look back at Series 1 and treat it like I do classic Who (with the understanding that it's a part of it's time). 2005 was a long time ago but Doctor Who was lagging behind it's peers quite a bit. The music is a problem, too. A lot of the score, particularly in Season 1, is just dreadful. I wonder what I would feel about Rose now if it were re-scored.
The other problem is I don't seem to be able to tolerate that brand of cheese anymore. A character like Van Statten isn't just "irritating" for the sake of being irritating, he's a cartoon in the way that very few characters would be once Doctor Who got it's feet. I think this is also why I dislike the less eventful Christmas specials and why I disliked Nardole until he was actually part of the series as it normally exists.
Once Doctor Who stopped being so much about rubber suits and leant into it's horror, I think it was a richer show with more to offer. Episodes like Blink, Listen, The Empty Child and Dark Water ring around in my head WAY WAY more than Father's Day ever did for example.
