This one is a modern classic. The reflective personal, funereal mood at
the beginning of this story is very believable. The premise is a little
bit Star Trek but that's not completely unwelcome.
The 'earthquake' in DW lore at the end (see the last 10 minutes or so, I
won't ruin it for anyone here) is quite phenomenal. The classic DW fan
in me was rebelling against the Time Lord victorious idea but the true
DW fan in me was stamping my feet and cheering. This episode was just
amazing.
The only thing I regret is (like Turn Left the series before) it doesn't
really get followed up in the next episode. It could have set the scene
for a truly remarkable climax for David Tennant's Doctorship. But it's
like the scriptwriters just forgot what happened.... oh well, can't have
everything.
