Doctor Who - The End Of Time



The last ever episode with David Tennant as The Doctor, The End Of Time was, well.... The End.

It not only wraps up the entire Nu Who RTD epoch, but pretty much summarises it too:

  • Dodgy plot holes.
  • Running around.
  • Surprising moments of emotion.
  • Oodles of nostalgia.
  • Crazy character decisions.
  • Some good acting.
  • And bucket loads of fun.
I loved it, It was everything we've come to expect.

Best bits:
  • John Simm as The Master as a Superhero as Eminem.
  • Bernard Cribbins and David Tennant doing the talking, acting thing.
  • The self indulgent farewells.
  • James Bond.
There's no point in analysing the plot, you accept it or you don't.

I hope that the next epoch of Doctor Who, The Moffat Epoch, retains the core ideal that Doctor Who is a kids show, because I think that's what has made it special. David Tennant, many children's first Doctor.

Thanks everyone involved, because I enjoyed it.
