caddymanWell, it's late, it's hot and I am doubting my ability to get to sleep tonight, though I expect I shall feel a great deal better after a shower.
Well, maybe there's only![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smittumi and me who liked it, and of the two of us, I'm the boring old fan, but I can't quite see what everyone's problem with the final episode was - everything tied up nicely (in case they didn't get a second season), a regeneration, good script, good story and excellent effects (pace the rather rubbery dalek emperor).
I think people are expecting more than they ought from a TV show that is designed to appeal to an age range from 7 years to adult. If you set it in the same slot as say, Battle Star Galactica, the new one, not the old one, it's going to come up short, because it's not playing to the same audience, is all. And let's give David Tennant a chance as the 10th Doctor; he's had one line before the closing credits. Pretty hard to judge from that.
Nice that the TARDIS got a line or two, too. That's a first.
Oh, and myself, I'd have gone for a firm handshake, and maybe a clap on the back. But that's just me.
