Another great Doctor Who finale. It was strange there wasn't some big boom going on in it, but that was a nice change of pace. I can't wait to see what they do with the Time Lords from now on. As a whole, the season was absolutely fantastic even with it featuring one of the worst episodes of the entire franchise, but that was off set by one of the best episodes ever. Calpadi is just as good as Baker and Tennant.

I liked it. It wasn't as good as last week, but that's honestly an incredibly high bar to set. I think I had my expectations set a bit too high, because I really feel the need to see this again to fairly evaluate it. I'm liking it more and more just sitting here thinking about it, though.

I didn't expect that Gallifrey's long-awaited return would be such a red herring, but I'm kinda fine with it; I've never been a huge fan of Gallifrey stories. The episode was really about the Doctor and Clara and I liked it a lot. We've written Clara out three times now and this was probably my favorite ending - off having adventures with Ashildr (can I also just point out that I loved the reveal of the diner being the one from The Impossible Astronaut; that was adorable). It leaves the door open to see both characters again, but it still feels like the Doctor and Clara have come to a natural parting. A good companion, like Donna, tempers the Doctor; Clara's become more and more of an enabler and they both realize it. It was a good ending, even if Face the Raven is going to lose much of its power in hindsight.

I do think Clara ended up going back to gallifrey to get put back in her time of death but like stated Moffat made so she lived a little longer. I enjoyed it it was the ending that pissed me off and at the end I find. Of all cared for it I mean I was not said I just did not care for Clara's exit this time.

She did exactly what the Doctor did - she ran away. Yes she'll go back eventually (or the Time Lords will catch up with her) but the whole suggestion of going the "long way round" is that she's now immortal and can travel around the universe with her equally immortal buddy until she decides otherwise.

And people said RTD was fanficcy

I see nothing wrong with this. In fact, I don't even get the hate Moffat or RTD get. Season 7 aside, this show is great. Doctor Who has been around for so long that not every season needs to be the best. The only bad season is a boring one, and the only boring season has been the seventh.

What? Where did I say the season was bad? If anything this has been the most consistently good series in a long time, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy every single episode and for me the finale wasn't that great. It took a hugely powerful moment and completely undid it.

Huh? I wasn't talking to you specifically on that part of my post. I just meant in general as there are people online hating on the season just because its Doctor Who.

Heaven Sent and Hell Bent are a great pair of episodes. The ending, especially, to Hell Bent was just.. It was perfection. Now the wait begins for the new companion, and the victory party starts for the end of that running sonic sunglasses joke.

That new screwdriver is just epic.

Finished Series 4 and I really really liked this one. Donna is by far my favorite of the Companions. I loved how she and the Doctor interacted. The Storys in this season were also pretty cool for the most part. Some were better than others but none of them really bored me at any point. I am mixed on the finale. On the one hand it was pretty grandious and action packed but the ending and the whole Time-Lord/Human Metacrisis thing doesnt really sit well with me.
