It sees everyone from 2005 - 2008 back and joining together to fight the daleks one last time. I like the story with the reality bomb and having Davros back is really awesome. I still think this story was a bit slow and could've possibly been a bit better but it's still pretty good none the less. The scene where everyone is flying Earth back home will never not be one of the most iconic moments in the shows revival. The Meta crisis doctor is a good point for the expanded universe to cover on which they do. Donna's fate is sad but i think The Star Beast (60th special 1) kinda ruins this because we know she's ok and she has her own doctor who's she's living with. It spoils it in a way. Overall great 2 parter with some emotional scenes but I can't help but think it could be a bit better. 8/10 Jann View profile Like Liked 1 24 May 2025 · 29 words Review by joeymapes21 Part one is near perfect, but this isn't quite as strong - building to brand new levels never seen before, and not knowing quite what to do with it joeymapes21 View profile Like Liked 0 30 April 2025 · 2 words Review by gabe_the_cool 1 bloody crazy gabe_the_cool View profile Like Liked 1 17 October 2024 · 125 words Review by dema1020 Spoilers 3 This review contains spoilers! A strong culmination of everything that had come out of the RTD era of Doctor Who. I do love the energy of this episode and the Stolen Earth. With Turn Left coming before it, this makes it really feel like we had been building up to this throughout all of Series 4 nicely. Sure, it can get a little cheesy near the end and the whole DoctorDonna thing can be a little over-the-top, but the story more than makes up for it. Sometimes it is nice to join in on a party, and that's exactly what Journey's End feels like to me. A big celebration of Doctor Who, Torchwood, and the Sarah Jane Adventures. It is really hard to object to that on any meaningful level. dema1020 View profile Like Liked 3 28 May 2024 · 24 words Review by Rock_Angel 2 My bias is showing this is the best finale in doctor who and im tired of people pretending its not the most fun ever Rock_Angel View profile Like Liked 2 Show All Reviews (6) Open in new window Statistics AVG.
