What the shit was that? Probably there were bits that I didn't think wtf at. Mostly involving being shallow about Timothy Dalton.

The room hurled many variations of "hurry up and die!!" at the screen. Alas, tend to agree. WHAT HAPPENED TO PLOT OMG WHAT WHAT USUALLY ONE OF THOSE IS HELPFUL. I do not want to say anything about the womens because omg OMG WHAT DECADE DO YOU THINK THIS IS WTF.

Matt Smith moves beautifully. I hope he is good.

In conclusion, it was better than Monster of Peladon. WELL DONE.

RTD has always had an interesting conception of "plot" when it comes to finales.

I am overjoyed at that glimpse of Matt Smith.

At about 7:30 I turned to

inamac and remarked plaintively that there were still 25 minutes to go, and how the heck was RTD going to fill them? I might have known it would be by self-indulgent OOC rubbish.

Journey's End - that's what it reminded me of...and not in a good way...

Still, Matt looks okay from what little we've seen of him. Nice of Ten to leave Eleven in such a life-and-death situation from the get-go - typical Ten, though, thinking of himself first... ;D

Is it true that Ten went out kicking and screaming like a giant baby? *points and laughs* How far in does the regeneration happen? I don't give a shit about the rest, I just want to see some Eleven.

Spock did it better.

I got the impression RTD has been watching Star Wars a lot lately, and as much as I love Tennant, Cribbins was the best thing in that by a long chalk. Having seen the trailer, I'm really looking forward to Matt Smith.

That has given me a headache. Seriously. It was almost REALLY GOOD for a bit and then it WENT TO FUCKING SHIT so dramatically. Seriously, I just ... I DON'T UNDERSTAND. *rubs temples* And really, no one should ever be watching your main character die and screaming "DO. IT. FASTER." Is bad.

I just finished and it was so HORRID and I am ANNOYED. I was actually looking forward to crying when Ten died, and instead I was YELLING at him to SHUT UP ALREADY YOU BIG WHINER.

Gah.

Eleven looks promising, thank Moff.

What the shit was that?

My mum was VERY patient with me yelling at the television the entire time--including duing the Confidential, when I kept yelling "OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!" at the screen a lot.

God, I want Moffat and his production team to be feted and adored and all of this to somehow have been worth the suffering.

(I will say this: I loved Susan. That was lovely. Only good thing in it.)

I was very WTF at it. Especially at the Martha and Mickey being married bit (what happened to Dr Tom FFS? and couldn't Mickey have a This Universe version of Jake?).

It seems the next Doctor may be rather awesome though, judging by the clips.
