revieloutionneYeah, a bit late to this one, but, y'know, computer issues.
That was amazing. Absolutely better than Last of the Time Lords, too, because where LotTL has sparkly Tinkerbell Jesus, JE had... Donna. As it should.
Though goddamn did she really need that ending? (Yes, but you won't see me accepting it. The memoriless Donna we see is being happy in a way we never got to see pre-DoctorDonna. And something tells me that a little of the wonder at things and zest for life she picked discovered in herself while travilling with the Doctor are going to show up again. But still.)
The high point for me, though, was seeing Sarah Jane confront Davros. I imagine it might not have been so satisfying were I to have ever seen an old-school Who episode of hers, but it fit for me.
Mickey continues to mature (not that he was terribly immature to begin with, really) and impress. I can't wait to see him play off Gwen and Ianto next (mercilessly short) season on TW.
Jackie got short shrift, but if anyone had to, it should be her. Irony!
The group-piloting of the Tardis was amazing.
And Rose's ending has proven to me more than anything else that Rusty wanted his time on the show to be defined by her which is... hinky, but I'll accept it.
The question of the Christmas ep is: Which Cybermen?
