    Awful animation, good plot. Very enjoyable once I got into it and the animation stopped annoying me!

    Seriously, it's impossible to see it any other way.

    Io9, I realize that you guys think mashing words together illegibly is cool and mod, but could you maybe re-think? Spaces and punctuation and capitalization really do add clarity...

    In reply to At Last, Doctor Who's Lonely God Goes Too Far
    Was I the only one who though Adelaide changed her mind too quick? The last thing she says to the Doctor is "Damn you." which made it seem like she wanted him to save them. And then it feels like she activates the bomb, not out of acceptance, but that she feels like they're really not going to make it. Then she gets all pissy and offs herself when he saves them. Which brings up another question. Wouldn't knowing your grandmother killed herself on earth when she was supposed to be on another planet scare a child away from space travel? You'd think Adelaide would've begrudgingly accepted time was going to change instead of causing her family more pain and un-answered questions by finding her suicide in the living room.

    Aside from the questions it raised I did like the episode to an extent. Though Im more excited to see the repercussions and the return of the Master.

    I thought the Doctor dropping the crew back into their own timeline (as opposed to 19th or 23rd) was a sign of his hubris and how delusional he'd become. The Doctor thought the remaining crew would end up having a big happy reunion with their families and would be full of fawning gratitude (as we have seen many times before during nu-Who), without a thought for the possible consequences of his actions. #doctorwho

    The bit near the end where he went 'Isn't anyone going to thank me?" made me go .___O. I wonder what Martha ("He never asks for thanks" etc. etc.) would say.

    That said, I loved the episode. It was bloody brilliant.

    Someone needs to put together a video collage of the Master and the Doctor saying "tough!" and so on. The parallels are chilling.

    The Doctor's ego-mania aside, one thing that made me do a double-take was the allusion near the beginning that the Philippines had a space program. It was a pleasant double-take, thinking that the country 'was talking about building a rocket'. ^_^ #doctorwho

    @fraying: stay tuned... My theory is that the entire ood race is the Time Lords in disguise, through some process similar to the Chameleon Arch. and RtD has just been hiding them in plain sight for 4 years :). #doctorwho

    @Dunny0: actually thats not a bad analogy for what i'm going at. think of the giant Ood Brain being whats keeping the Oods minds in check, unaware that they're actually the Time Lords so yea sort of like the matrix in a sense. then, their second brains/Translator Orbs could act as a sort of "Fob-watch" if the reference makes sense. but i'm just grasping at broken straws. it'd make for one hell of a reveal though. #doctorwho

    @dethklokso: I was thinking more of "the matrix" as in the giant super-computer thinggie the Time Lords of the "classic" series had, not the franchise staring Theodore Logan.

    Although the two did have their similarities, what with the virtual worlds and storage of consciousness. #doctorwho

    @fraying: an Ood at the end told him again (First time was the psychic woman in Planet of the Dead) that his "song was coming to an end". He's seeing an Ood because he feels like he's getting closer to that #doctorwho

    I loved the episode. The ending with his vision was heart wrenching. Tennant has simply been amazing these past years and I wish he didn't have to go.

    I am both anticipating and dreading the End of Time. I expect it will be a brilliant episode, with great moments... But I'm losing my Doctor and that's going to be one of the most heartbreaking moments of my TV watching career.

    I disagree with you about season 4 though... While I won't argue that those aren't the best episodes, I think the whole season stands up to repeat viewing, as I've watched all of it multiple times. #doctorwho

    I found myself fast forwarding through 80 percent of it. It was just too heavy, especially after CoE. I did see RTD managed to shoehorn in another OMG-He-said-husband-instead-of-wife!!! moment. Ugh... could you be a little more hamfisted there Russ?

    The Doctor needs Rose, or at least Donna. Watching him go through the universe on his own like this is breaking *my* heart. #doctorwho

    What I liked best was the way Tennant played the Doctor up until he decided to save them.

    There was none of his usual kinetic swagger nor was there any cocky sayings - he knew he wasn't suppose to be there, knew he shouldn't help so he just walked around watching.

    Not until he came back to the base did we see the 'normal' Doctor, the fast, motor-mouth genius who saves the day.

    It was a brilliant performance and TV is going to be a little worse once Tennant leaves. #doctorwho
