Yeah, that is part of it...I also frequently, after reading other reviews, sometimes find myself thinking "wow, am I just really undiscriminating for liking that?" Now, admittedly I enjoy things that are not, hmm, the most objectively high-quality things out there (I mean, the other day I picked up Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman on DVD, for crying out loud), but I don't think my taste is THAT off. XD
I think part of it is expectations, too...I generally go in to a Who episode expecting it to be awesome, and it usually delivers (or at least ends up being good). And I think you can see that with the latest couple of episodes - back when Steven Moffat was just one of the better writers for Who, people seemed to enjoy his episodes much more, but now that Blink has given him a deserved reputation for pants-wetting scares AND he's been announced for showrunner, I think people are expecting a lot more from him and finding themselves disappointed.
