Army of Ghosts had taken the show to new levels, Doomsday was even better. The Cybermen's previous outing had been less then wow, but here they were much better utilized. The Daleks were particularly deadly here too.
The Dalek/Cybermen showdown was something most fans had dreamed off, but never imagined would happen. Although a little one sided towards the Daleks it was an iconic moment. I hope in another ten years we get another showdown.
The parallel Earth is better used here then in The age of Steel, and I was glad to see Mickey and Pete back, and it's always nice to see Andrew Hayden Smith, obviously.
Jackie continues to be brilliant and funny and offers some nice relief in what's a serious episode. Her meeting with Pete is a fabulous scene, she's such a great underrated actress.
The music fits in well too, bold and epic, as well as soft and emotional when needed, it never felt intrusive. Murray Gold, is without a doubt an utter genius, he did some gorgeous music for the show.
It would have been great it this was an hour long episode, maybe some more battle scenes would have been nice.
Rose I must comment is insanely good here, I love her character and was gutted she left the show, but she got to save the world, her distress at being marooned without the Doctor is heart felt, and I think pretty real (maybe some true feelings about leaving the show. Those final beach scenes again were beautifully played out, and also explained her opening dialogue during Army of Ghosts.
Overall a hugely satisfying Series climax, which left me desperate for more Who. A well deserved 10/10
The trailer for The Runaway Bride was a treat, away with Series 3 and bring on Series 4!!
