The finale was typical RTD. However, it didn't annoy me nearly as much as last year's 'Doctor Jesus' ending. There was enough sincere nostalgia to keep me afloat through times of silly or absurdity. Donna's story is the most tragic of anyone in the series.

And, was it obvious that the "human Doctor" was supposed to be Eccleston's Doctor? Especially the way he was dressed, acted, the "running" scene, the genocide...it was like the whole bit was written to have the 9th Doctor in that role. Too bad he wasn't.

Cheesy or not, I dug the shit out of the console scene. Having the entire cast of the modern series gathered together this one time...fucking awesome.

RTD is writing the Xmas episode and the three specials next year. Roll on Moffat in 2010...
