The End of Time Part 1
-Timothy Dalton's narration is grand, epic, and his delivery gives the well-trod doomsday speech gravity. (JAMES BOND and the Doctor! :D!)
-The Ood! I was a bit taken back by this first part when they released the preview, but watching it again I can see what people were saying. The Doctor's trying to have an air of levity, but it's...wrong.
-" Named a planet Allison." I watched Tennant in Casanova and there was something I wanted to say about the name Allison. There was a connection, but I can't remember what it was.
-"modern hair. All sticky uppy." Ah, Wilf. :D
-The Master is more insane than before and he's lost his suave, public persona, Harold Saxon.
-" Is that your ha--AAHND, Minnie?"/" Good boy." Minnie the Menace, indeed! I hope we see more of her.Goodness.
-The scene with Wilf and the Doctor in the cafe was wonderful. I wanted to give both of them a hug.
-The Master reminiscing about Gallifrey with Ten--I'd forgotten how well they play off each other.
-"I'm not eloquent, but how many people have you killed?" I like the word eloquent. :D
-Every time he says he's hungry I think of The Wire from DW episode, The Idiot's Lantern.
-" They're catuses!"/"Cacti." Vinvocci, it's completely different! Hah. Oh and it's Nina from Being Human! All spiky.
-It's the President of the United States! Whoa. I'm not sure what they're saying here.
-Master Race? This one was a bit too obvious. :)
-The long, drawn out, Master being giddy was a bit like the Locker Jack sequences outside of the Locker in At World's End. Less, would have sufficed. Did we really need, "I'm the the President of the United States"?
-Is the end of time a physical place?
-It's mad in an absurd, what the heck, way.The Time Lords return, but will they be dotty, old, grouches, or crazy, sheltered, Time Lord Victorius? How are Donna and Wilf factoring in?Will Ten get the send off he deserves?
--I hope there is a better balance of the absurd and serious in Part 2.
(After watching the Next Time teaser) It must be huge. The Doctor with a gun? WHAAA
The End of Time Part 2
I'll probably do a more thorough list version like the first part later, but I wanted to put this up.
It was fantastic. It was brilliant.It wasn't perfect , but it was entirely deserved and made up for the first part's quibbles.
Wilf, it was Wilf. Not the master, not the Time Lords, it was the Doctor's own love for others that destroyed him. The price he had to pay for "Time Lord Victorius" and delaying?
And I do love a mystery. I thought the mysterious woman was the White Guardian, but then she was in the weeping angels' pose as a Time Lady.I hope Moffat uses that somewhere...
The last bit, where he had a chance to make his last acts of farewell and love was...Aww.
That said, Mickey and Martha? That was unexpected. I did like her hairstyle.
LUKE! Pay attention when you cross the street.
Drunken Adipose! Hah. Or possibly just uncoordinated. I thought they were babies? Aw, Ten forgives you Jack. If there's anyone who understands it's him. Oh and Hi Alonso! :D
" Was she happy?" "Yes,yes she was." I'm so glad they acknowledged that two-parter.
I was worried about Rose being in it again, but I think it worked. And if you wonder why she didn't remember him...Well, he was in the shadows and I don't remember every single conversation I have.
"I don't wanna go."
We'll miss you Ten.
Matt Smith
The ginger bit was a nice nod to 10's beginnings and I liked the little in-joke about all the "will the next doctor be a woman?" speculation. Well, we know he has comedic timing. :D If he's aiming for the mad professor then that's a lovely quality to have.We'll see if "geromino" warms up to me. Will he be leaping off things quite a bit as a dare-devil, adrenaline-junkie, mad professor?
