If I were watching it alone instead of with family and friends who had a sense of humor about it all, that probably would have been my reaction as well.

Not particularly relevant. There was hype; it didn't live up to it. His point stands.

Untrue. David Tennant had made his decision months before he announced it to the public, and RTD was in on it all along. They had made a deal that they would both leave at the same time. So RTD most definitely
did know that Tennant would be leaving at the time he named the special. Whether he knew the public would know by the time it aired is another issue.

I had low expectations. Can you blame me? The Runaway Bride and Voyage of the Damned being the last two Christmas specials, and Partners in Crime, Turn Left, and Journey's End being among the most recent RTD episodes we've gotten, I don't think it was unreasonable of me not to have much hope. I still gave it a chance, and it still let me down. Miraculously I somehow have still not yet reached the point where I stop giving it a chance entirely, even though I keep saying and thinking that I should do so.

All we can do is rate the episodes badly and complain as loudly as we can, which is what I endeavor to do.
