Each ep seems like a filler to me. Previous seasons each ep expanded upon on another and revealed a bit more about the storyline. The last few eps nothing has been revealed which is disappointing. Also it would be nice to have more River! In previous seasons with Rory and Amy there seemed to be more focus to the story. There hasnt been much to challenge to Doctors morals as well. Last season had a great ep set in the wild west with the Doctor facing his morals.

Has season 7 been poor?

I don't think the season has been poor, there is just no real attempt at actually explaining anything.
When RTD was doing the show, in my opinion, we'd get get something that would just be recurring throughout the season. Bad Wolf for example, or constant references to Mr. Saxon and then during the final episode it would all be explained, everything tied up and the next season would do something new.
Moffat, he tried to do it with the cracks in space being his version of Bad Wolf and going for a story that spans over several seasons, but he doesn't do explanations very well. I think this season could be a return to the RTD way of doing things. We know there is something weird about Clara, and we will find out end of season. Unless of course he's going to finish off what happened the past two seasons first with the Silence, his name, what caused the TARDIS to go boom.

This series has been quite weak.
It possess few if any special episodes worth rewatching or showing to anyone if introducing them to Who.
Most of the stories are bogged down with empty CGI spectacle, underused guest stars, plots without solid endings, and a companion, whom we next to nothing about to the point that she should be named generic companion.
The splitting of the season made it worse. The series lacked momentum.
It's been a year of filler with no payoff. Even if the finale offers answers, the price of our wasted time hasn't been worth it."Trust me. I'm a psychopath." Jekyll

Hmm... I quite enjoyed this series as much as I did the others (exept cold war, maby). Maybe it was not as good as Series 5 (which I think is one of my favourites), but all the same I thougt it was entertaining. But as soon as I started to like and love a story, it is verry hard to shake me off again.Nobody asked me, if I wanted to live. So don't anyone tell me how I shoul lead my life.

Series 7 as a whole I have enjoyed.
Yes some of the stories have been a touch weak, but other have been substantially better than previous seasons.
There still bits that could be taken away and I wouldn't miss if they decreased their appearance, the over the top silliness that Matt Smith sometimes plays the doctor.
The need to have armies of ridiculous portions because somehow that more scary.
I think though that the reason many are not liking the current is because the writers have mature up the programme and turn it more adult, and introduce a more scifi feel to it than the previous RTD era, no more farting aliens.

I wouldn't say it was poor. I'd say it was flawed and polar. But I love it.
I found the first half of S7 to be a little too rushed in placed. The episodes themselves were wonderful ideas, but many of them were too grand for just one episode and should have been spread over two - most notably Asylum of the Daleks.
As for the second half, I think we've just been spoiled. They were all very good episodes, but eps such as 'The Bells of St John' were merely good, not spectacular. Other eps have completely polarised fans, like the Rings of Azkaban (or whatever the sod it was called). I thought Cold War and Hide were both amazing, and yes whilst Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS was intellectually thin on the ground, it was still a real treat!
I would argue that this series has, in fact, been better than S6, which for some reason didn't sit right with me due to The Impossible Astronaut...
