See I think you have to be a Tennant fan to find this the end of the era - many Doctor's have moved on and I found the Messiah like sending off in this episode to totally detract from the farewell to the Doctor. There was good stuff in there

But that's the thing sweetie - you're not much of a Tennant fan so I can see that for you it was drawn out codswallop. While I grew up with Who I guess I only really focused on it during Tennant's reign so it feels like more of an ending. And of course for the kids especially - have you seen caitlin Moran's twitter? Her little ones are beside themselves. Not that I'm slitting my wrists or anything. I'm quite pleased RTD has fucked off so we can get Moffat and Smith. My only wish is that Moffat had written the last specials for Tennant so that he had the writing to match his acting talent. Nine's goodbye made me cry my eyes out as well.
I agree if Ten was going to gently nudge Jack along why did it have to be with the Ianto esque pretty boy. I'd have rather he'd nudged him towards an alien. I agree that the implication that the pretty boys in Jack's life are all fairly interchangeable and Jack could care less either way is as patronising as hey lets marry off the black folk.
It wasn't so much the implication that the pretty boys are all interchangable in Jack's life that irritated me cos I didn't see it as that particularly...and it wouldn't be unreasonable to pick one that looked similar (not that I think he does but again I seem to be alone in that)as a starting point (if you assume he's slept with no-one much if at all since Ianto's death, we have no idea how long it is since Ianto's death or what timeline we are in frankly), it was the link back to RTD's comment about fangirls and watching SPN really. It smacked of him thinking this would be a sop to the fangirls whereas of course its just riled them up more (though I struggle to see why really). In DW you have to have DW Jack, you have to move him on for TW but praise be to the Lord they did at least acknowledge in the nano second of airtime that he was unhappy. More than we anticipate. The Mickey/ Martha thing is total nonsense that RTD presumably thinks is fanservice or something. Maybe its an alternate universe
