Hated the series but loved this final show; thought it worked really well.

I quite liked Rory .. but I do hope that this was the end of The Dreaded Pond. I always found RiverSong annoying too.
That said .. this episode was miles better than the last one.

Agreed PH but we don't agree on Chris Ecclestone; when the genius that is RTD (who I'd beg to produce The Brits) took over with CE, I adored it (and never liked the old series - silly stuff).

Wasn't keen on Tennant though I believe I know his brother (informed by a Tipsheeter); not mental for Matt Smith either.

Loved Billy Piper who was superb in it I thought.

But I'm really a massive RTD fan.

RTD hit the 'right notes' and the zeitgeist if you like for the series. Moffat wrote a lot of decent episodes during that era too, such as the 'Are You My Mummy?' episodes and of course the original Angels one, Blink. Charlie Brooker of the Guardian stated that Blink was probably the greatest piece of television of all time, it is that recommended.

I think the problem with the series at the moment is far too much going on that storylining is suffering. Last night was excellent and actually very RTD like, but the rest, apart from the still good cowboy episode needed an extra 15-20 minutes to make better sense.

It's good for the show that it gets new showrunners, but Moff needs to calm it down and concentrate of characters, stories and plots and not in 'how good it looks'. Or are we that shallow now?

I love River - particularly her cleavage
