Doctor Who - Journey's End
The best bit was Davros, suitably crazy, even when facing defeat. Oh, and quoting the Tibetan Book Of The dead. Other good bits: piloting the TARDIS, the return of Mickey with a big gun and German Daleks!
The worst bit? The oh so predictable nonsense. So much stuff made so little sense. Big switch, feedback loops, Z neurtrinos, multiple half human Timelords, harvesting humans for a "test", dragging the Earth back. etc. etc. Sigh.
Also bad: Torchwood survived. Boo! Martha Jones is rubbish, and has a bad German accent. Captain Jack has become a cliche. Sarah Jane had a magic bomb. Sigh, again.
Oh, well, there were lots of explosions. And German Daleks. EXTERMINATIEREN EXTERMINIEREN!

LOVED the German Daleks. Over all, I liked the episode. Wrapped everything up nicely so that Moffat can step in.
Was left with a feeling of 'Oh, was that it?' to be honest. You have to feel for Donna - her return to vapid chav-dom after her stint as Supreme Sci-Fi Fan-Girl of the Universe (TM) was enough to bring a tear to the eye, surely?
But the rest of it just seemed like an exercise in RTD clearing up his loose ends - Rose *properly* boxed away and with her stud-muffin plot coupon reward? Check. Martha and Mickey trotting off to join Torchwood to replace the two dead ones? Check. Daleks all nuked *for real and for ever this time* honest? Check.
Roll on S. Moffatt. Let's hope his episodes so far are suggestive of a proper dose of Doctor Who horror / sf in series to come!
With due respect, it's not the Book of the Dead, but a paraphrase of the Bhagvagad Gita Ch 11
The Lord said: "Time [death] I am, the destroyer of the worlds, who has come to annihilate everyone..."
Hi...
It's not EXTERMINATIEREN, but EXTERMINIEREN :-)
Greets from Germany :-)
Actually I first typed EXTERMINIEREN then tried to look it up and got something else! So I stand corrected.
