Journey's End (Doctor Who)

Well, it's a good thing I didn't place a bet on Serena winning yesterday......anyway, well done Venus!

However I digress..I posted the following response to yesterday's Season 4 finale of Doctor Who on another website, but having watched the repeat showing earlier tonight on BBC 3, I just had to post here too.

To quote from Captain Jack, "Brilliant!" (for the most part)

"Journey's End" had just about everything that was speculated over previously:
Two (yep - TWO) David Tennants (a clone of the Doctor, thanks to the regeneration of his severed hand from "The Christmas Invasion").
Gutsy U.N.I.T. warrior Martha Jones threatening the Daleks with the Osterhagen key (which would destroy planet Earth).
Captain Jack Harkness also gives the Daleks something to worry about, thanks to Sarah Jane's “warp star” (basically a superbomb the size of a gem).
"Exterminieren! Exterminieren! Halt! Sonst werden wir Sie exterminieren! Sie sind jetzt ein Gefangener der Daleks! Exterminieren! Exterminieren!" German-speaking Daleks (and why not? They were in Germany after all - sounds so obvious now).
Martha standing up to the Doctor debating over the use of the Osterhagen key.
Donna Noble lusting after Captain Jack.
Davros showing the Doctor his failings, by reminding him of those who died for his cause.
The Dalek's Reality Bomb (WTF?).
Davros: "Stand witness, Time Lord. Stand witness, humans. Your strategies have failed, your weapons are useless and, oh, the end of the universe is come. "
Sarah Jane & Davros reminiscing over the classic Tom Baker episode "The birth of the Daleks".
And the creation and (sadly) demise of DoctorDonna.
But why do I think that Dalek Caan's "One will still die" prophecy has yet to be fufilled?

The finale wasn't perfect: at times it felt like "X-Men: The Last Stand" - overcrowded. Also, what was the point of Jackie Tyler? If the Doctor knew the ultimate fate of DoctorDonna, why didn't he enlist the help of the other Doctor? What happens if Donna Noble meets Captain Jack, Mickey or Martha again (who are unaware that her DoctorDonna persona was removed)? Call me a cynical old cuss, but I don't think we've seen the last of Catherine Tate (aka Donna Noble).

Overall though, a fitting finale to the series...
