What makes a season finale great? Or what ruins a season finale for you? How did you feel about this one?

Weirdly enough I'm in the process of working on a season finale at the moment! I think they are so difficult as the level of expectation is hard to pay off. I think Life on Mars (original UK version) pulled it off well. I liked but didn't love this finale but mainly because I thought 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble were excellent. That being said, your point on the episode being a commentary on fan theories and speculation was interesting, something I hadn't considered.

I guess just screw Discount Jack Harkness. He can stay in that barren universe, or whatever, until at least the xmas special.

The problem with Ruby's mother isn't that the fans were hoping for a big reveal. It's that the show set up a big reveal, and then changed its mind. Ruby being able to make it snow was a mystery the Doctor wanted to solve. Her nature was puzzling to Maestro. It was brought up in episode after episode. It was a big deal until it wasn't, and somehow it's the fans who are wrong.

To me, the episode was a collection of nice scenes held together by a confusing story. It's frustratingly close - one more draft and some proper explanations - away from being really good. I'd rank it on about the same level as The Name of the Doctor, a beautiful spectacle built on a kind of insane and poorly explained retcon.

The only channel that called/predicted the Sutek reveal are the people at the WhoCulture channel. And for them it was less then a 50/50 chance that it would be Sutek.

It was certainly an unexpected finale for me, too. I admit the revelation about Ruby's mother didn't entirely satisfied me, although I have appreciated the reunion with her parent. The explanation about the mystery showed some flaw, without a real explanation. However, I've finally found again the Doctor I loved since Twelve's (and Moffat's) departure. Loved this incarnation, loved Ruby (although she'll return in the next season) and the different approach for every single episode. Thanks RTD.

I call it Season 40 as I join all of the series of Dr. Who together I didn't even like that they renamed it to Series 1 when it returned back in 2005. I would definitely watch your Classic Who reaction Classic Who is timeless.

@@VampX13 you cannot give us the end of all Universes and just use a whistle and a leash (weird enough) and claim that the Doctor who didn’t killed the Daleks when he could eradicate them (since history was going to repeat) and thus save billions of live…..you can’t have the Doctor killing (at least trying even if someday we learn that he didn’t succeed) the bad guy….. 😞
