Journey's End

I know, I promised that I'd comment about it, but it's been a few days and I haven't gotten the time and energy to really sit down and do a decent review. Also, I've been feeling a bit irritable in recent days so I may wind up being harsher on it than I intend. Bottom line really is that it was entertaining, a crowd pleaser, had a few good bits, but it irked me on several levels... and ye gods, the ending.
Is anyone still interested in a more detailed take on it even after all this time?

Date: 2008-07-09 02:48 am (UTC)My own quickie review: I was very disappointed with "Journey's End". One of Davies's worst tendencies was to have arbitrary developments and endings-- technobabble, random "because the Doctor says so" moments, untelegraphed "surprises", and, above all, deus ex machina endings. In this regard, "Journey's End" topped them all.
