I loved it, and hated it.
The most emotional piece of television I have watched probably since Sleeping in Light. So full of great small and large moments, the scale of it was so large and so full, it was nearly the perfect episode, just so amazing. And David Tennant did such a perfect job with the role for the last time. SO sad to see him go.
From the moment when he grabbed the gun from Wilf- you knew that there had to be something wrong.
From the escape.
TO how he said "My Reward" Probably his best moment in four years.
To him saying good bye to all the companions and all the people he has known and followed for so long, keeping safe, including Rose.
To the stand off between him, the Master, and the Time Lords, and how the Master finally used his last moment in this universe to save the whole of Time, and the whole of creation itself, sacrificing himself, I knew it would happen but it was so well done.
To the realization of who the woman was, the weeping angel. And what she meant for the story.
To the portrayal, and eventual unvailing of Rasillon.
To him saying good bye to all his companions, it being so fitting, seeing so much of his adventures in time and space revisisisted, but him breaking the rules in order to make his life complete.
The only criticisms I really have of the whole thing was that he regenerated, and then acted all insane, I mean I get it
. But it seemed so inapporiate given the gravity of the situation. Then again his regeneration could have been all that good bye.
And also Russel just throwing in 'Rasillon' there, it worked for dramatic effect, but no one who has never seen the old series would be likely to get the reference...and what I want to know is...how?
10/10
