While I had some issues with a few things and did come away scratching my head in a bit of confusion over a couple things, overall, I thought it was a good end to the 10th doctor era. Of course, I'd have preferred it not have to end in the first place! I am SO going to miss him. *sniffs*
Personally, I LOVED that Mickey and Martha are together. I'm not sure what happened to Tom, but frankly I don't care. Mickey and Martha have both been through so much, suffered the same kinds of rejection because of the Doctor and Rose, and let's face it, who else can they ever really talk to about all the things they have seen and experienced?
While I didn't love the way they brought him back, I do love the way they ended up using the Master. That whole scene toward the end with the gun and the whole move out of the way thing was, in my opinion, amazing. I'm not sure about what has happened to the Master now though. Is he dead? Is he still out there? I would hate for him to be forever gone. After all, as the Doctor said, what would he be without the Master?
I was a bit confused by the woman who kept showing up everywhere and the whole weeping angel bit. I too kind of thought maybe it was his mother. I just wish we had been told.
I kind of had a feeling from the beginning of the 2 episodes that it would be Wilf that would be the end for the Doctor, but still, when it happened...when he started knocking...I just LOST it. I think I bawled from there till the end of the episode. When I saw my mom a few minutes after watching it, she took a look at my tear streaked face and I think thought someone had died. (Someone real I mean, not the Doctor).
My only true complaint with the episode would have to be that Donna doesn't get her memory back. I mean, I guess in a way I understand why she didn't, but I still don't like it. She's not the same person she was when she was with the Doctor, and I think that is a tragedy. I'm good with her moving on and getting married and all that, but I'd have liked to see her remember.
I thought the end with Rose and the Ood in the snow was totally heartbreaking. I hated that he had to go through his dying and regeneration alone, so I'm glad that the Ood was at least sort of there with him.
I'm not sure yet what I think of Matt Smith. I'm certainly going to give him a chance. DT is going to be a hard act to follow, but I hope he'll bring his own special something to the Doctor. Not crazy about the whole "geronimo" thing, and I hope that's not going to be the new "Allons-y." It's just not as original. However, the preview for next season does look pretty good, so I live in hope.
