Really good. The beginning is quite average and the resolution is underwhelming, however the dialogue and acting completely carry the story beyond what it could have been. The characters are all great and the plot is unique.

Votes: 9,628
Immensely satisfying. The plot flows with great pacing. The acting is great and the character reveals and choices are well handled, however there is some deus ex machina. The direction is stellar and the fan service is great, however I wish that Davros was given more to do.

Votes: 7,867
I love how this story explores the morality of the doctor and his companion, however the plot around it is kind of dull. The production design, music and dialogue are all great still.

Director: Graeme Harper | Stars: David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Billie Piper, Bernard Cribbins
Votes: 8,624
Intense. The acting is great, the plot is very unique and the direction is great. However the plot is filled with holes and doesn't really support itself as a one-off or story part. The episode making is quite standard as well, however it is a nice, darker, what-if episode.

Starts out amazing, but gets dumber and dumber. I really like the Doctor-Master dynamic and their conflict. The plotting and editing are excellent, by certain storytelling elements are just stupid.

Votes: 5,661
Pretty Good. The UNIT parts drag and some of the plotlines are unnecessary, however the plot is unique enough, with good stakes and production design. Has some good moments, but doesn't justify its length.

Director: Alice Troughton | Stars: David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Freema Agyeman, Georgia Tennant

Quite good. The Doctor's daughter is quite fun, however lacking in much stakes. The Doctor has a lot to do, however the companions are side-lined to a generic plot.

Votes: 5,655
Fine. Jackson Lake makes for a great character and it's great seeing the cybermen again, however the pacing and story just can't hold me forever.

Director: Graeme Harper | Stars: David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Fenella Woolgar, Felicity Kendal
Votes: 7,397
Not too exciting. The mystery doesn't work, due to too many plot threads and the reveal is just stupid, however the character moments and production design are great.

Doctor Who (2005–2022)
Episode:
The End of Time: Part Two
(2010)

Director: Euros Lyn | Stars: David Tennant, John Simm, Bernard Cribbins, Timothy Dalton
Votes: 7,292
Extremely conflicting. I love the treatment of Wilf, The Master and Rassilon. The direction and editing are great, however the comedy and writing are poorly handled. The plot can be really dumb, some of the pacing is WAY too stretched and the overall treatment of the Doctor makes him selfish and arrogant. A good Doctor Who story, but a bad regeneration story.

Too goofy for me. I liked the historical accuracy and Tennant-Piper banter, but it's just a generically plotted episode.
