1. This will end in tears. When RTD crams so many ideas into a story, half of them end up blowing up in all our faces.

2. John Simm just won the Sexiest Insane Criminal In the Universe award. FOR LIFE.

3.  This thing careens from the superb (Time Lords are back and they are not the good guys) to the ridiculous (everyone becomes the Master).

4. John Simm with a red collar. WHOAH.

5. On that note, Simm and Tennant redefine intensity when they're in the same scene. No wonder the RPFers love them.

6. This will end in tears. Honestly. RTD is going for an unforgettable finale to his Doctor Who career -- and that usually means people will die. Or the story will.

7.  I want to weep for all the wonderful characters that SOB has created that he seems to have no idea what to do with. The next series is going to be all about cleaning this up -- which means all the people we have known and loved will be abandoned.  I will love the next Doctor too -- I don't seem to be able to help myself -- but I will miss all the people we leave behind. Thank God for fanfiction.

8.  I will remember the RTD Doctors as two of the most interesting characters ever created for television. Even when I wanted to strangle them I couldn't keep my eyes off them. The man is all about great characters that get screwed up by his odd take on relationships. He has all the finesse of a Latin American soap opera writer.

9. The Ood are as great a science fiction race as there has ever been on television outside of Babylon Five. RTD does good races (or do they come from his writers? No matter). Doctor Who does great races.

10. Did Imention John Simm? Blond? Scruffy? Red collar? Yeah.
