This is a review for The End of Time Parts One and Two.
Recently I rewatched all the Christmas Specials in preparation for the new Revolution of the Daleks. I used to and still do think that The End of Time is overrated but that doesn't mean it's not good.
There are many aspects that make this story amazing: David Tennant's performance throughout (no matter what emotion he portrays, he hits the nail on the head every time), Bernard Cribbins being the best companion-that-never-was of all time, Donna and Sylvia just being Donna and Sylvia, the majority of John Simm's performance, Rossiter and Adams being the most human aliens ever, The Master's plan being mental but brilliant, the cyclical structure of The Doctor's visit to the Ood-Sphere and his final meeting with Ood Sigma, The Doctor visiting all his old friends ...
Sure, there are flaws: The Time Lords are disappointing to say the least, Tommo and Ginger cannot act, and it's obviously padded in parts, but, its glorious.
Its a fitting end for The Doctor that we were all going to miss.
