I suspect this finale will just as divisive as The Fountain. Well, probably much much more so since barely anybody saw The Fountain.

I agree with you 100% Best Series Ever.

They also didn't go to "Heaven"

I didn't full out weep, but holy shit did I get all misty a lot.

Their home planet was eaten by the cracks or…something else, they kinda glossed over what exactly destroyed their planet. Either way, he couldn't have sent them home even if he wanted to.

It was William Hartnell, the 1st Doctor, so theoretically it could be his card to the Public Library of Gallifrey.

The stripping fish-insecto-mom….
…this is the one thing that REALLY bothered me about the episode.

50 bucks says…
…that Toby Whithouse did all of his research for this episode by playing Assassin's Creed 2.

I agree it's a perfectly average episode, and I did really dislike the flipping of the switch, but at the same time it felt kind of like a throwback to Pertwee and I dug that.

That's awfully dismissive of Mickey. Before travelling with The Doctor in S2, Mickey was desperately trying to move on with his life and kept getting sucked by in by Rose.

Rashida Jones lost out on the love triangle in Freaks and Geeks, too.

AMY'S CHOICE

I liked Tennant. But he hard time rising above the material. He was great when he got stuff that was well written.

Smith said, "You're a time traveller something something" but he mumbled it. The Tardis changed her brain so she perceives time/space differently. Same deal as instant language translation.

You will have to fight me Awesome Brain Powers.

I've never seen The Doctor as a parent. Maybe Hartnell, but other than to Susan he wasn't really paternal.

It wasn't that RTD overused "the universe is in danger of total destruction" it's that he had this bizarre need to make every season finale bigger than the last. Topping himself in size of spectacle and in numbers by cramming in as many of his amazingly well-written and totes lovable companions that he could squeeze…

The only thing I didn't quite like about that scene was that the implication I'd had was that being observed "turned them to stone" and that when not observed they weren't stone. So I expected them to turn kinda fleshy, not still be stone.

RTD comes up with great concepts. He really does. He just doesn't develop them well. Toclafane. GREAT concept. But we don't remember the horrifying concept of mankind cannibalizing itself to the point of full mental regression and psychopathia. What we remember is floaty Jesus Doctor.

I don't think it's the Doctor…
…the "good man" that River Song killed.
