doctormysterio I didn't like this episode at all. Amazing cliffhanger, but the rest was actually bad. The Master is way too over the top. Weird, weird episode.

hazzadhgw Part 1 of End of Time is average at best. It has lots of problems like the Master having super powers and can eat people and jump 1000 ft in the air somehow and he can turn into a weird skeleton The Master is literally brought back by magic. A bunch women circle round a him pouring poshens in a boul. Then they say bring back the master or something along those lines and he comes back to life. Those women literally cast a spell and then took Lucy Saxson's lipstick off like a bloody witch making an enchantment. This is Doctor Who, not Merlin! Then Lucy throws some sort of liquid over the Master and the prison Lucy is locked in blows up somehow but the Master somehow survives it and then the Master starts going on about all the food he wants. And it's so annoying! Even before the Master is resurrected, he's able to get into people's dreams somehow which doesn't make any sense. The Doctor is also a problem. He also starts going on about how changing feels like dying and how it's a new man replacing him which doesn't make any sense because he's still the same person.The upsides are that the Christmassy things and Wilfred, Donna and Sylvia are brilliant as usual and very funny. The funniest but is when Wilfred mocks the TARDIS saying that he thought it would be cleaner. That was so funny. And the woman, who spoke to Wilfred through the television, I thought her addition was quite intruiging because I really wanted to find out who she was. Part 1 isn't very good. It makes no sense and the Doctor and Master are so out of character. The upsides are the Nobles. They were brilliant as usual and that's why I'd give it a 4/10.

Paul Evans The whole world is having nightmares but not Donna's granddad Wilf. The Doctor having been called by the Ood finally returns to the Oodsphere, who make a prophecy of a return of something dark, The Master, and something bigger. The Master returns, brought back by a female cult, but Lucy intervenes, seemingly sending the Master a little crazy. The Doctor meets up with Wilf, discussing his fears after the events on Mars where he played God. Millionaire Joshua Naismith and his daughter Abigail have the Master kidnapped and bound, and try forcing him to repair a piece of technology they've discovered, the Immortality Gate, but two of Naismiths' staff are aliens wanting the machinery for their own ends. Naturally being a genius, The Master takes full advantage of the technology, turning everyone into himself, not Donna, who's placed in mortal danger.Favourite scene possibly Wilf meeting The Doctor in the Coffee shop, it's a very touching, heartfelt scene brilliantly done by both. Wasn't it nice to see some more matures actors and actresses on show.Plots and subplots, one seeming villain, masked by another. It's a very clever plot, cleverly written. I liked lots of it, return of Donna and Lucy (only briefly admittedly,) there's a good pace, good sense of urgency. Humour is provided by The Silver Cloak, again nice to see some older talent, June Whitfield is just delightful. Talk about joy seeing the Doctor in one of my regular coffee shops (The Kardomah) so random. Wilf and The Master are both very welcome returnees. I absolutely detest the Master's ability to jump, shoot beams and turn part skeleton, it does not work on any level. Don't really like the Naismith characters they fail somehow. Poor John Simm, his performance cannot be faulted, but the script is not so good for him, again!! I bet he had fun making it though. WHY DID HE HAVE HIGHLIGHTS!!!!Full of flaws but full of fun, the trailer was stunning, Gallifrey was back!!7/10

mx-records THIS IS A REVIEW!! Yeah for everyone who hasn't seen the special jet, I might spoil a bit around here and review the happenings!! So don't read it!!! So what have we seen here, nice acting, some bad and somehow unnecessary special effects, some nice moments of an unknown side of the doctor (ooh very human) and a to fast story development at the end.Nice acting of Tennant but this was the only thing I was really sure would happen. I was afraid of what is to come after the good build up in "Waters of mars", you could actually do so much. But they somehow (until now) just made a typical doctor movie out of it. The master returns, we all knew this would happen. It was awesome to see the doctor begging for help, but then the story just got out of hand and the master suddenly stumbled into a position of world domination. What the hell! The green aliens, good Idea, funny, the tragic moment on the other hand was to see that this "living forever machine" was only build for the daughter from the head of the British empire. no!no!no! this scene was so unbelievable and all happened to fast, no background info about the people and why the actually are so selfish! And when they try to get Tourchwood and the 3rd season into account, then please tell me how this selfish prime minister is elected, the world should have learned from the things which happened. This was all to cheap.But hey this was all the steam, now some words of reconciliation to Christmas. I love that grandpa is the companion. Awesome!! The Odd, awesome!! The special effects looked stupid, all of them! I will wait until new year and hope for the best, they have a lot of things set in strange positions. I hope it was all necessary to make the second part awesome and a worthy last time for Tennant as the doctor. Until than!!
