So. Which of you cried too? Started with the poem for me and then got progressively worse right 'till the end. That surprise appearance pretty much turned me into a complete emotional wreck / pile of tears :p

I really teared up when that person appeared and Matt was giving his last speech!

Erm what? Will there be a part two to finish up this story line. I know most doctor who episodes end with plot holes but this was worse than most. Overall the ending got a poor reception in my house.

 

What plot holes, from what I understood it resolved everything from Matt Smiths time as the Doctor.

Well, I thought it was absolute rubbish. Who has gotten progressively more cheap looking and more nonsensical under Moffat's tutelage.

 

Tonight's episode was a good example of this, lots of flowery language that ultimately makes no sense, plots that went absolutely nowhere and the damn daleks again, is it possible for Moffat to write an episode now where the daleks don't make an appearance?

 

I can't wait for Moffat to leave and someone else with more imagination to take over because Moffat is just churning over the same stories now.

I thought those buildings looked familiar :p

 

It was a nice episode, but in general I've liked the last few years of Who a bit less than 9 and 10's. Those storylines were both more complex and simpler at the same times. Less easy fixes and better reasons/explanations for things. But it hasn't been bad, I still love it.

i do not want to sound to critical however, i honestly thought the episode was rather boring. and Moffet kept promising to close story loops and not really much of anything happened in the episode.

The actual regeneration looked really good.  I hope they take the show in a new direction with Peter Capaldi because they do tend to rehash the same storylines over and over again.  I also hope his Doctor is a bit more serious and a little less frenetic than all the other portayals have been since the reboot.  Something more like Jon Pertwee's Doctor would be great.  A character with a bit more depth.

Do the time lords have the ability to open and close the cracks at will? Have they given up trying to re-enter this universe? What about the remaining Daleks around Christmas? Only one ship blew up on screen? What about the desolated planet the Doctor met the great intelligence at in the future?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
