David Tennant's Doctor Who Swansong

HERE BE SPOILERS

It was one of David Tennant's best stories, although I have to say not the best, but it was definitely a good high point for David Tennant to leave on. Battling not just The Master but also the Time Lords themselves who not just returned, but were shown to have become fully corrupt. For fellow fans who are reading this and have not seen last nights episode, The Trial of a Time Lord was nothing on this in terms of baddie Time Lords en masse. Esp when you see the return of Rassilon and he is not the saviour as seen in The Five Doctors (and even then he was ruthless).

As for Tennant's goodbye, it was panned out a bit too much I thought, going around saying goodbye to companions and allies, but the final line from the Tenth Doctor "I don't want to go.." was simple and yet poignant and a fitting farewell. Not hammy either. The four knocks also came from an unexpected quarter and the Producers were right, when it happened you felt heartbroken. Esp as you expected it to come from Rassilon or someone of that kind of stature.

As for Matt Smith, his beginning seemed a bit overrated, but all actors in the lead role seem to start off in that way. One thing is for sure, Matt Smith's first series in the role looks good :-)

Oh and one final thing. Who was The Woman?
