30 seconds at the end of this episode is better than 10 minutes trying to set it up in the Christmas special IMO. Thats why that scene at the end it there, and to keep the audience interested over the July-Christmas break of courseEquality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

Man I haven't seen this much kvetching in a long time.
Did the folks making a big deal about "I love you" not see that that was going on all along? Heck, it's been pretty out in the open to the audience since at least the ep where Sarah Jane Smith made a guest appearance.
And the folks who wanted Rose whacked *because* of the relationship element, what the heck? I mean, disliking the relationship is ok, but whack the character because of it?
No wait, I get it, Dalek impersonations. Never mind.
Rose ticked me off more than once but in S2 both Billie Piper and David Tennant grew on me-- both solid individually and some amazing chemistry between the two. I was consequently *not* happy knowing that she was going to go, and even less happy seeing it.
Bye-bye Rose. And I will *really* miss my weekly Billie Piper fix.
And hey, if you think it was becoming the Doctor and Rose show, you just don't appreciate the Doc Man enough. There's no And with The Doc. It's impossible. Go watch some old Doc and catch up. The Doc outshines all.Frak! --Apollo
Frak you. --Cain
FRAK Me! --Kat

i cried really hard when rose and the doctor had their heads up against the walls. so close, yet so far away.
i really did not like them adding the new girl this way. i thought they should have at least half an episode showing the doctor trying to make it on his own, but then realizing life isn't fun if you can't share it with someone. so then it would make sense that he would find another travelling companion.Save us from danger, save us from evilServatis a periculum, Servatis a maleficum

After two hours of tension and several minutes of drama (much weeping from all the major characters), this random woman in a bridal gown was just a bit sudden. I agree with Ruined-Puzzle about the ending. Oh well. I felt bad for the Doctor having to go from weeping for a lost lover to problem solving mode in thirty seconds or less.
Besides, do we know if the bride is the companion or if she represents some kind of problem that leads him to a new companion? Whichever, I'm sure she'll grow on me eventually."Trust me. I'm a psychopath." Jekyll

I'm odd. I liked the ship, and while I don't want the Doctor romancing every companion, I didn't mind the I love yous at the end.Proud member of F.O.R.D.
Thanks *E*K*R*!

Tiny, companion related spoilers that are already posted in hereSpoiler:As for The Bride, she's in The Runaway Bride (43 hours to go!!!!) and then the new companion will arrive in Series 3/29's premiere. I'd personally like a non-companion episode, just the Doctor, alone, ala Deadly Assasin, but it took years for them to build up the courage to do that way back when, so I'm not holding my breathEquality is not a concept.

Even when it was involving them, it was still him who had to save the world, because whether they liked him or not he was the best for the job, as shown in the climax of The Five Doctors. He never gets the chance to reflect, to mourn, to feel sorry for himslelf, he carries a burden like no other which prevents him from it, and that's almost certainly never going to change.

Oh well.
Thank you for the spoilers, and as far as I am concerned, spoil away. I will happily look in the tags for series 3/29 info."Trust me. I'm a psychopath." Jekyll

The Daleks vs. Cybermen was funny IMHO.Calvin grows up to be Frazz. The logical continuation of this is, of course, that Frazz then grows up to be Edward Norton's character from Fight Club. And thus, all four of these characters are gods.Let's go one more step. Calvin grows up to be Jeremy, who grows up to be Frazz, who grows up to be "Tyler Durden," while Suzie grows up to be Haruhi Suzumiya; since Kyon becomes The Doctor, this leads to the inescapable conclusion that after the end of Fight Club, Calvin becomes Captain Jack.
