Very well made, but the end scene with Tennant and Rose just isn't something I want to see in Doctor Who. That isn't me being grumpy—I remember feeling exactly the same when I first saw it at as a child.

I guess that also while it's well shot and everything, the battle of Canary Wharf itself is a bit anaemic, and isn't quite as visually impressive as you'd expect it to be were it made today.

Oh my god, and Cyber-Yvonne's "I did my duty... for queen and country". Vom.

@FH2104, anaemic? How?

And how come you didn't like Yvonne revolting after conversion?

@Kevin 'Chalky' Kaiba That might be the wrong word. What I mean is that nothing much actually happens that I recall, in terms of destruction or casualties. I could be wrong. But since RTD's Daleks had been established as practically invincible, and it's difficult to care about Cybermen being blown to smithereens since they are total bores, the thing itself needs to look really fantastic to overcome that.

Which brings me to the sobbing Cyberman. There is literally only one rule to the Cybermen (they have no emotions) and it is frankly astonishing how many writers fail to grasp that—but this is just cheap. It may be their nadir, even worse than the 80s Cyberleaders constantly purring "excellent".

@FH2104, some converted individuals retain the last thing that went through their heads. Evidently, Yvonne was one.

I suppose it’s weird that it never touches on the immediate aftermath of the battle, apart from short references in Smith and Jones and Everything Changes. I’ve always loved this episode though.

I cringed at Pete And Jackie

@Dreamleak, that's been some of my problems with some of the finales. They have some great battle or something happening in the present, then it just gets swept under the carpet as though it never happened. I know that's what more or less happened with revival 3, but still...
