Enduring narrative threads are one of the nicest changes brought about by Modern Who, but the end of the Eleventh Doctor's era became just a bit too orderly. Every element of the plot was eventually stitched together and particular events lingered for years requiring multiple run-throughs of his tenure to really get it all. Whilst it will make his era particularly impressive to watch as a wholewhen the Whovians of some still distant tomorrow are catching themselves up on the Doctor's historyit is a problematic strategy to continue going forward. This type of plot serves to reward loyal viewers for their long-term devotion, but it comes at the risk of turning away both new and casual viewers. Doctor Who attempts to be multi-layered offering a slightly different experience for loyal and casual fans. A truly best series yet needs to avoid both new and casual viewer alienation. The best of what Doctor Who has to offer cannot be an experience for just loyal week-to-week fans. We were all new to the Whoniverse once, and the best stories will always welcome new Whovians-to-be. Also in the spirit of making Doctor Who more audience-inclusive is the next point on this list.
