it was good, if not a little flawed. For one thing, the Tardis doors were never supposed to be able to be opened when in flight, especially in space or when traveling throungh the Time Vortex. Plus, at the end, when the Tardis dematerealised, it didn't just dematerealised but blasted into space like a rocket from the ground, THAT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. It happen only once, in a Doctor Who annual in the 60's where the writters didn't know anything about Doctor Who and actually had him referred as "Doctor Who". I'm worried in case they take that up permanently, because that would be really wrong, it's the Tardis, it's supposed to dissappear, not take off.
It was a little flawed, and that really bugged me, great story lines but because of the contradicting flaws involving the Tardis. Also, Donna was really quite grating to begin with (but mellowed a little bit over time).
After those little pet peeves, I would have to gave it an 8/10.
And Danny, no, the theme at the end wasn't completely orchestral, your beloved Derbyshire Elements were still in there, the trailer for the next season was longer than normal, in fact, it was so much longer that the theme had to almost loop itself. It looks like the next season is going to be a lot darker, and the Daleks are definitely gonna be back, seeing as the trailer ended with a shot of Dalek Sec.
The Doctor seems a lot darker at the minute (a darker Doctor, brilliant), I hope it keeps up, but at the same, I hope he doesn't become a dark horse, I don't want a depressed and quiet Doctor, he should still be able to crack a smile and have a laugh. But it would be great to have him darker in character, he was quite murderous in The Runaway Bride. He killed thousands of alien Spider babies
. Recently Captain Jack mercilessly killed an alien and someone said that his actions were quiet like the Doctor's, I disagreed and said that if he could find another way then he would, but he quite easily decided to kill the Racnos (is that how you spell it), maybe he will end up being the Valeyard, at this rate. He's definitely changing, we'll just have to se how it turns out, but it has me interested.
