The Tenth Doctor.. always and forever
Well all that needs to be said has already been said about the saddest Doctor Who episode ever. <br />Beautiful writing from Russell T Davies and amazing acting from David Tennant. <br />The Tenth Doctor didnt want to go and I didnt want him to either. <br />From the radiation scene to visiting his past companions to regenerating, David conveyed the Doctor's emotion and sadness, making it a turning point in Doctor Who history. <br />I was one of those people in tears at the "I dont want to go" line, which is the most distressing single line dialogue ever spoken. <br />Then afterwards watching the confidential of the alternative takes, and the golden wrap where David was so clearly holding back the tears. <br />After the end of series 5 I stuck to my original decision from the first episode, I cant get to grips with the Eleventh Doctor, but love Amy Pond. Karen Gillan is fantastic aond one of the reasons why I will continue watching, the other reason is that Doctor Who is the only TV show around now that was on while I was growing up. <br /> <br />David Tennant is and always will be the best Doctor ever and Doctor Who history and future owes him alot. <br />He may not have rejuvenated the new series but he extended it and took it to a level that no one thought possible, because of him, its more popular now than it was back then, and has even been accepted over in America. <br /> <br />And all the while there is a Duplicate Doctor in the parallel world with Rose, David Tennant and his Tenth Doctor will be my Doctor until the end of time itself. <br />xx

Bitter sweet, but excellent
Hopefully we'll see David Tennant back for the Who 50th anniversary; for now <br />so very sad to see him depart-the best doctor, surpassing even the iconic Tom Baker and the excellent Peter Davison. <br /> <br />My enjoyment of this episode was bitter sweet given that it marks the end of an era. I even put off watching it for a month because I just didn't have the heart. Some of the frenzied action is familiar territory-the kind of thing we have seen many times before in Who. Still, the poignancy laced throughout is very compelling. The 10th doctor knows his days are literally numbered, and there are many moments when Tennant's Doctor, through Davies' mostly wonderful script, and really Tennant himself, are clearly in the process of saying goodbye. Davies continues his excellent re-imagining of The Doctor, building upon and extending both the tragic and heroic dimensions of the character. To me, the acting and the character development have become more important than the action during the past couple of seasons, especially since we've really known for almost 2 years that Tennant's Doctor would not be as long-lived as most fans would have liked. Giving nothing away, but let me just say that if you are a Who fan, a Tennant fan, the ending will break your heart but also satisfy. It is a most excellent and fond farewell. <br /> <br />Also: Who fans MUST watch the extras on the Part 1 and 2 DVDs, which are GREAT. HOWEVER, rent both at the same time and watch the complete two-part episode before any of the extras, or you'll ruin the episode. Also, I suggest you watch the Who Confidential on both discs before watching David's video diary. In it, he takes the viewer through various moments during the production that we saw in Who Confidential, but from his perspective. It was Tennant's decision to depart the series, but he clearly had mixed feelings, and it's very moving to see him tear up on more than one occasion during the final days of production. <br /> <br />4.5 stars for the episode, 5 stars for the extras. <br />

Smack that drum and serve me up more Dalton
Ah, once again to arrive late in the game and review/critique at leisure. This is not one of my favorite episodes from David Tennant's tenure as the Doctor. (The third "series"--read "season"--was by far the best.) <br /> <br />A large part of this story in actuality revolves around the return of Master, who is frankly nothing more than disgusting and puerile. He's also a big, fat baby and nobody likes that--except the Doctor, perhaps. (He did weep at the previous death of the Master.) <br /> <br />In this film, the Master is of course something of a silly shadow of his true self, and in a sense is like an incarnate ghost rather than a reincarnation: he's a tangible and revolting, unstable energy-bundle. Not a ghost, not reincarnated. More like Lord Voldemort. <br /> <br />The drumming in his head, present since his childhood, is still there. It turns out this is a signal from the Time Lords, in a "time bubble" exile since the Time Lord War. What angered me, if I may interject here, is the lack of any expose of that war, which would have been a blast-and-a-half with Tennant at the helm...but we'll probably never know. <br /> <br />I liked the female Time Lord (jeez, she's a Lady, did no one catch that??)--the Doctor's mother, which old what's-a-name the producer/writer confirmed in an interview. She appeared before this, as a spectre-like figure, sighing in despair and issuing warnings. Also, I believe that at the end these Time Lords were turned into the Weeping Angels and sent back to the beginning of time. <br /> <br />Timothy Dalton!! What can I say? I'm a fan from his young days, and here he SHINES. He's the best Time Lord I've ever seen, and I'm of the old school that acknowledges only Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker and David Tennant. However, Dalton gave everyone some acting lessons here. His powerful yet calm voice, his sinister, bossy aristocratic sneer...oh, perfecto!! PERFECTO! <br /> <br />I'm getting the dvd just for Dalton alone...the story is so-so, but I love the caravan of senior citizens riding around helping the Doctor. And since this is the last big bang for Tennant as it were, though it is not his last performance as the Doctor...ah, just get it. It is superb. <br /> <br />And don't forget to pick up the 3rd "series" of Tennant's while you're at it--the best of them all, I'm telling ya!

I'll miss you Tennant!!!
I love David Tennant as the Doctor and will miss him! This movie made me weep and the special features did too. I was disappointed with the interaction the Doctor had with Rose, but I guess with the time line that was what was required. If you are a Dr. Who fan this is a must see.
