Who finale

So, obviously I watched The Last of the Time Lords last night. In fact, after 10 days manically travelling around the country and working like a bastard, I got great pleasure out of making that the sole item on my To Do list for yesterday.

I didn't write up my reaction to it last night - rather, once I'd had my tea and Confidential had finished, I spent the post-Who portion of the evening reading everyone else's reactions on doctorwho, and browsing various fan and spin-off sites for caps and info from previous episodes. I guess I was kind of waiting for my reaction to settle. LotTL certainly hadn't been as immediately amazing for me as Human Nature, The Family of Blood, Blink or Utopia. But I knew I'd basically liked it, and was surprised when I started to see large numbers of Who fans who seemed to have instantly hated it.

So, 24 hours later, I've just watched the repeat on BBC3. And now I'm clear that, although it has some seriously bollocksy moments, I did like it overall. ( And here is why )
