I got a kick out of EXTERMINEREN! I don't care that it's lousy German, it made me laugh.

Also, I figured that there was going to be some kind of deus-ex-machina with the spare hand, but I appreciate that they didn't just have it as a throwaway scene. I like that they made it relevant to the plot, with 2 perks: it gave Rose a really good reason to leave again (because she would be determined to stay) and she gets her own Doctor, and Tennant got a nude scene. I'm sure my gf will enjoy both of these.

I loved it when I got Caan's "Three-Fold-Man" prophecy: Proper Doctor, Other Doctor, and the Doctor Donna.

I thought it was great episode (I watched it on Youtube). It was very interesting.

My thoughts exactly. Though I really liked this season finale I don't think it was nearly as good as the previous one's.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

It was pretty cool. Maybe the Daleks have finally been killed. And it was nice that Rose got to have her cake and eat it too so to speak. It sucks that Donna won't be coming back though. Maybe that women he met at The Library will come back since she and the Doctor seemed to have a history he hasn't experianced yet. And that the mastermind behind the Dalek's demise was a Dalek was a brillient twist.

I'm glad Donna is gone. I still think she's the worse out of the side kicks I've seen so far. Even the guy that got a hole put in his head was better imo.

She was 10x better then the last two girls, who were all heads over heels for the Doctor. It was rather annoying. Although Donna's modesty was a tad annoying at times, but she was the best one so far.

That would've kicked about fifty billion kinds of ass, for the record.

And... three of the four series had Daleks at the end. Can we say overused, much? I don't even like the Daleks to begin with!
