A fantastic piece of closure for the Seventh Doctor and Ace. It expertly deals with this incarnation's unfair manipulation of Ace, and how it affected both characters on a personal level. It's sad to think that they didn't depart on good terms, but the ending hints they go on further adventures together in the Memory TARDIS. The Curse Of Fenric itself is a stone-cold classic. It's a thrilling vampire story that shows how far the Seventh Doctor is prepared to go to save the day. The fact that he goes to the extent of breaking Ace's faith in him, cruelly playing with her emotions in the aid of the greater good, will always remain chilling to watch.
