This was very good, another enjoyable episode, and really sad as well, I cried when the Face of Boe died, I was sad when the Doctor explained about Galifrey and about how the planet fell apart. although it does set up for what could be an exicting finale, i am quite sure the Master is coming back, but im open till the end, and im sure whatever happens it's going to blow us into an Oncoming Dalek fleet which will vapourise us in an instant Itt had a nice blend of a lot fo tihngs, and seeing Ardal O'Hanlon as a Cat was quite well set in

Sadly, it does have the typical blend of RTDism, a lot of you know last year i was a very vocal speaker against some of his ideas (Love and Monsters being the worst) and again, his writing stumbled, the most annoying bit was the explanation of those aliens, the Macra, sure, it was nice to bring them back, but some explanation of why they were down there would have been nice, as they felt really out of place there. my guess as to RTD's faults, the time slot, he just can;t fit in enough of what he likes in 45 minutes, hence why his 2 parters are very good, perhaps he should just stick to specias and let friends and associates do the single episodes.
