The Parting of the Ways

Oh my god....That was possibly the best episode of Doctor Who ever. Any Russel T Davies doubters shurely must be at ease now. This was mind blowing stuff.

First off Christopher Eccleston will be sorely missed. This was a huge send off for him and he deserved it. I often wondered why they never used the Daleks before for a Doctors finale. It was suitably big to use them for his final story.

The chemistry between the Doctor and Rose have been second to none. Billy Piper and Christopher worked so well together that i can just live in hope that David Tennant will have the same chemistry with the walking perfection that is Billie.

I loved how the Bad Wolf stuff came together, and the fact Rose turned out to be Bad Wolf instead of the Daleks was the iceing on the cake. It was much more satisfactory being her than the daleks as a whole. I loved how it turned out she had sent herself the messages.

The whole story was about death. The death of Jack, the death of the human race and of course the Doctor. Thank heavens Rose turned up and resurrected the brilliant Captain jack. I loved his kiss scene with the Doctor and Rose. Especially the kiss with the doctor. How times have changed for the better. here is hoping we see some boyfriends for Jack in series 2. If he is in it of course.

But the Daleks and especially emperor Dalek was brilliantly menacing and evil. I loved the battle of wills between the doctor and emperor.

I particularly liked the scenes where the Doctor tricked Rose into the Tardis and sent her back. I cried during the holographic message and loved Rose's scenes with her mum Jackie and ex boyfriend Mickey. My only complaint was that they didn't go into the Tardis with her to see the regeneration.

I laughed out loud when Jackie turned up with the big truck. loved that scene, so nice.

Rose as the Bad Wolf was great. She kicked ass as a higher being. Loved her destroying the Daleks like she had with the Autons in her first episode.

And yes, I am so glad they kissed. So good and heartwarming to see he regenerated and forfeited his life to save that of his true love Rose.

The regeneration scene was up there with Peter Davison’s. Now I have two favourite regenerations. I loved there parting words and Christopher and Billie pulled in award winning performances.

BAFTAs should rain down on this show.
