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?

I will be, after I get a chance to see it, probably this weekend.

Davies' end

Goodness, I've been waiting to read your review ever since I watched the episode on Sunday.

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.

Yes :). You're certainly one of the people with a review I'd be interested in reading.

I'd still be interested in such a review.

Definitely!

With an icon like yours--how could I not want a review from you! But you don't have to post it immediately. Or post and do a cut for those who don't want spoilers yet. SciFi channel isn't showing Journey's End until August 1, 2008. And not everyone downloads eps from the net. Thank you.

I only just watched the episode tonight, so I'm ready to read and discuss!

Abso-fraggin'-lutely! =:o}

(Of course, I'm so far behind on LJ that you've probably already posted it. I'll get there, I'll get there...)
