Are you saying that the only way is up?

There are already too many plots.

Okay I love this scene.

Does anyone mind if I burn the bbc to the ground?

I feel bad that the best parts of Jodie Whittaker's final episode was shameless fanservice.

can only go up up up.

Episode wise, i liked it, was a lot going on, maybe a bit to much but entertained me enough. The ending scene went the way i expected it to, figured that was going to happen.

This very much echoes my thoughts on it I liked it but there was a lot going on, there was like half a series worth of stuff.

It was better than most of the Chibnall era for me but mainly for the sheer amount of cameos, which was pure fanservice really. Loved The Master as usual.

Regenerating clothes though? :lol:

I never really took to Jodie as the Doctor, it felt like someone trying to be David Tennant and failing, but I really liked Sacha Dhawan to the point that his Master and Missy area total tie for me, my fave modern Master is John Simm but I love both Michelle Gomez and Sacha Dhawan and cant place one above the other.

i would like to express my feelings long windedly if i may? well i'm doing it anyway

ok first of all some positives. yeah i loved it when ace called her "professor" and tegan said "rabbits" and the bits where they saw 7 & 5 again was just bloody brilliant. and 13's final moments were pretty nice. but i'm so disappointed the were going for the silly version of the master and not playing to this incarnations strengths the moments of angry nihilism. also i think i missed the part where they explain why he's rasputan (another nicker idea) and why his plot's in two time zones. vinder felt unneeded and it was a shame dan left so fast but it was nice seeing graham again. as well as plenty of other old faces. also the master becomes the doctor? i'm sorry what? last time we saw him he burned gallifrey cause he hated the idea that there was a part of the doctor within him. just to ruin the doctor's name? that was breathtakingly stupid. also a dalek says it wants to end the rest of it's race and the doctor says "that's a new one" that's at least the 3rd time that it's happened. honestly chibnal spend some time on the wiki. and now for the big thing, first of all why did the clothes change? second i'm getting pretty tired of doctor incarnations being used for a gimmick. what is the point of making tennat the doctor again? to bring back some of the old audience? they'll leave again when he leaves. for the anniversary? did you really need a new incarnation? there's just no strawberry floating point!

ok if someone could let me know how crazy that was

Not watched - but did it ignore the Timeless Child stuff or wipe it from existance?

Doesn't really do anything more with it.

Absolutely loved it. Sorry.

I liked Jodie’s last line

Yeah I actually enjoyed that way more than I expected to. It still had issues, but overall a good note to end on for Jodie!

Right it's far too late for me to write much about that but.... I enjoyed it far faaaar more then I ever thought I would. It features plenty of the usual issues this era has had but it also had some genuine lovely moments. Lots of it fan service for sure but even I was gutted for Yaz at the end. I was never bored which had become sadly rather common over the last few years. Maybe going in with such low expectations helped, maybe it was those old faces. But it feels nice have the Chibbers era go out on something of a high.

Whittaker was fabulous at points and her stuff near the end just made me wish she could have gotten better material to work with.

was hoping we would get the new Doctor and then it twisted in Tennant but still enjoyed the teeth gag.

There is one superficial link to it. That's all. Beyond that it's like it was never a thing.

Regenerating clothes was done in the first regeneration too but he reacted to them in the last scene so it's probably going to be a plot point.

I got bored after 15 minutes and turned it off. My partner used to be a big fan but hasn't watched anything after Matt Smith. Having seen the new Doctor though we're both keen to watch the new series, so I'd say it has worked as intended!

I'm definitely worried about Tennant fatigue myself. He was fantastic for a lot of his run but by the end of his 2009 specials victory lap I'd definitely had enough of him
