But no, you cannot find spoilers anywhere.

Davies should be praised for bringing the show back and laying out a good first series. However, his writing has either been getting progressively worse or it's been getting stale. His dialogue and plot devices are cheesy even for Doctor Who, and that's saying something!

Moffat, on the other hand, has contributed a handful of the best episodes of the new series, including my personal favorite, "Blink".

I won't say Davies should have stepped aside earlier, but I certainly wish he had.

Do we know if Moffett or RTD will be producing the 2009 movies?

My guess: Tennant remains as the current Doctor, but we are going to see a future incarnation somehow and maybe even Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor all together. Dalek Caan said that "the threefold man" was coming. Wouldn't it be like RTD to bring back the actor who brought the Doctor back from hiatus, for this his final episode as showrunner?

Of course remove spaces as needed.

Heck, they can even be from the Doctor's past. It's not like we know everything about his nearly a millennium of life. (E.g., perhaps there was a third major faction in the Time War.)

We finally got to see The Shadow Proclamation, this past episode. More could be done with that.

Also, am I the only one who thought The Shadow Proclamation was an actual.. y'know.. proclamation? A declaration akin to the prime directive or something. Okay, that's one too many Star Trek references for one talkback post. G'night!

as others have said, serious kudos to everyone at the beeb for getting us this far spoiler free .. Impressively enough, the episode is getting show live in Trafalgar square tonight, it's amazing how in four years Who has gone from a laughing stock, to something once again of a national institution, whatever you might say about RTD's bingo card, some serious kudos are due for that alone...

Who knows? Who cares? It'll be damn fine telly regardless and I'll be right here afterwards to see what you good people thought. Oh, the anticipation! It's like being twelve all over again!

Normally, you guys can't brew to save your lives but dear sweet Jesus, those Rogue and Sierra Nevada ales I drank last night more than made up for crap like Coors and Bud.

God bless America!

Hell, if they had REALLY gotten everyone on board -- I mean EVERYONE of cast and crew to keep their mouths shut to preserve any and all secrets -- and if they REALLY wanted to fuck with people's heads, I just think it would be hilarious if Tennant regenerated and turned into Robert Carlyl...only a year later you find out something was fucked up in the process, and thus he has to turn back into Tennant again. People talking about there being "two Tennants", so one can go off with Rose back to her parallel dimension -- that's an interesting idea as well. Not to mention the BBC would love to have some sort of backdoor open for Tennant to always reappear, even if it is a clone of himself or whatever. Frankly, I had said it in previous talkbacks and I'll say it again: I think Tennant is spectacular in the role, he is the heart and soul of what makes this modern incarnation work, and if I was running the BBC, I'd be offering the man one helluva check to keep him happy. Seriously, what's the deal with that? Is it THAT different over there? Don't British stars hold out or drive their prices up as much as American stars do here?

Catherine Tate's "I couldn't believe I was standing next to..." line makes total sense, because McGann is famous, not just for Who.

Christ rehash a couple of actors and that is it.

I'm expecting someone to toss out Steve Coogan or Colm Meaney next.

It's so wrong, it makes you look like an idiot.

Can you not discern the difference ?

I'll be back in 6 hours or so with my thoughts. It'll likely be difficult to write a review tonight without spoilers in it. Does anyone still want us to bother doing this, or are you accepting that there's bound to be spoilers ahoy later?

You know, if the daleks can steal a planet, or 27, and they can now break the lock on the time war.. if they put those two things together maybe they could bust out skaro and gallifrey... too much? probably.

Surely it was obvious that when she was talking about young and old, she still meant Tennant. No?

I thought that was bleedin obvious but apparently not.

I'll be angry if RTD fucks up the script somehow.

That would include using a MASSIVE reset button, like last years Master finale. That would, indeed, annoy me.

But for the first time in a long time, I actually believe RTD will pull this off, and it will be a great episode.

It's a tribute to the man that he could make a cynical bastard like me optimistic about tonights episode.

You know, I do believe he could...

And in my humble opinion, any country that can produce something as utterly gorgeous as 'Rogue Chocolate Stout' deserves to be the leader of the free world...

Anyway, nearly 'Who' time kiddies! Ten minutes to go! See you back here for the TB later!

Exactly the same as the RTD Master debacle. Started very promising and descended into pure farce by the end. He didn't even have the Balls to kill Donna.

I don't expect hard science fiction from Doctor Who and certainly not from RTD but this was just throwing everything at the screen and hoping something sticks.

Fantasy panto masquerading as science fiction.

I'll admit though by RTD standards it wasn't his worst Ep. (hardly great praise though) Some things were still interesting despite the Pantomime feel that hung over almost everything and whatever crimes against writing RTD may have committed he STILL got Who back on the screens and he always deserves much praise for that least. But watching this final Ep I can truthfully say thank god Moffat is taking over.

Anyway, roll on 2010 and please Mister Moffat, no more Billie Piper EVER - those teeth are just far too frightening!

Oh Lordy.....
David Tennant regenerates into David Threlfall.....
Verve and fun.....
Menace.....
Blo w the crap out us.....
Brilliant bonkers.....
The sexiest thing I've seen on telly.....
You'll be amazed!!!

This was OK but a let down after the set up and the previous episodes.

IMO the Threefold Man thing was a good idea but handled badly. Donna touches the hand (Which she didn't actually touch, cos it was in a glass container) and she gets the Doctor's mind (which needs to be activated by being shot later on?!) and he becomes Human? WTF?

Good parts summarised: Bernard Cribbins performance. The Osterhagen Key turning out to be something more than a rubbish reset button. Davros's confontation. Daleks talking in German. The mexican standoff with everyone ready to make the ultimate sacrifice. The Threefold man idea. K-9!

The rubbish parts: The Threefold man in practice. The fact that The Doctor hated his human self for killing all the Daleks and conveniently ignored the fact that Rose already did the same thing in the first series. Towing the Earth and everyone on it wobbling about a bit. Davros breaking the mexican standoff by just teleporting everyone (including Martha in an underground base) to the ship. The last second escape of the Tardis.

Oh and what is it with the transdimensional teleporter that you activate just by pressing a button, and it either takes you across the unverse, or just through the door on the right if you are in mortal peril. Needs 30 mins to recharge too. Nifty! No nasty rifts in time and space either.
