The Stolen Earth

This story was pretty good. It's the series finale and everyone is back. We've got daleks stealing planets and a certain someone is in the shadows. It's got all the ingredients to be a massive blockbuster super amazing episode but it just feels ehh. The first part is just the doctor and Donna flying through Space not being able to find Earth. I mean yes sure it's important for the story to progress but it feels like it's fallen short of what it could be. The cliffhanger ending of the doctor regenerating must've been a long week for fans back in 2008 I can't even imagine if that happened now a days with ncuti I would lose my mind. Great acting all round and the music is somewhat creepy too. Overall a good idea and a nice way to end tenants last series but I can't help feeling it could've been better 8/10
