Seriously, WTF. There has never been an episode of Doctor Who where I could do nothing but stare in horror. I mean, I enjoyed TINKERBELL JESUS DOCTOR, okay? (I still do, but that's a story for another day.) But... that's kind of what I ended up doing here.

I just... bad writing. BAD. WRITING. On top of some really uncomfortable gender things, and the... GIANT MECHA CYBERMAN? SERIOUSLY? How do you get AWAY with that? Rusty, the Doctor saying "Well" is not an explanation for why there is nothing about a GIANT MECHA CYBERMAN in history books.

I. JUST. WHAT.

RAAAAGE.

It's possible I'm just crotchety right now, but NO. I was so hoping he didn't end up sad and alone on the TARDIS again, so the fact that he didn't is... a plus, and there were some cute moments with the Doctor, but mostly... I so don't want to watch this episode ever again. It. Just. WHY DOES IT EXIST?

...I'm going to have to go watch some good Doctor Who later tonight to restore my faith in things.

Yes. The whole last scene was actually very well done. And the Doctor's FACE when he realized everyone was cheering for him. Like I said, it had its good points. Just... by and large, EXTREMELY disappointing.

Yeah, he announced it on a... thing (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7698539.stm), a while ago. I'm just hoping that now that The Next Doctor has aired, they'll go ahead and announce who they've cast as the ACTUAL next Doctor. I desperately want it to be someone completely out of the blue (and not Paterson Joseph - I don't mind a black Doctor AT ALL, but NOT HIM).

And just as long as you don't mind my Tosh journal. ^^

Yes! His face made my sister and I squeed so hard.

Gwah. I kind of wish he would have just died in the finale... it would have stopped that episode from failing so much and all of his companions would have been there to see it-ish. Except not cause we still get more of him, but. Hopefully it gets better. How many specials do we get, anyway? :o

I don't mind! I never mind a Tosh journal. :)

Five, I think, counting the Christmas specials at either end.
