"I could do so much more."
"I don't want to go."
"This song is ending. But the story never ends."
The end of Time.
This episode is just one of the most perfect episodes of all time in every aspect.It has made me emotional in so many ways.In this episode we've had some of the most amazing dialogues and quotes in the whole of TV.
David Tennant's acting performance this episode was one of the best performances ever done in the whole history of TV.
Everyone acted their role out perfectly,and i have almost never seen an episode with such perfect acting from everyone.
In the start,we again see that The Master is still the same menace from before,raging and wanting the whole universe to be his.But when he has a little talk with The Doctor,we see him breaking a bit,falling apart.This already showed that he won't last for too long.
When Wilf's phone rang,i immediately got scared because Donna was left alone with over 6 billion Masters waiting to slaughter her,seeing the that The Doctor had put up a defense mechanism once again showed that he is The Doctor.
We finally get a a look at how the sound of drums started,and honestly The Master is such a tragic character,think what could've been of him if he wasn't just an escape plan for The Time Lords who are far more evil than i thought.
I mean imagine how it would feel looking into the whole of time and space as a little kid and being implanted a sound inside you,a sound that will haunt your whole life until you die.No matter how much The Master Slaughtered humanity,i still feel for him.
Seeing that the rhytm of four drums,is the heartbeat of a Time Lord,i immediately thought that The Doctor was going to be killed by The Master or the Time Lords,but i will get to that later.
The talk on the Vinvocci ship.A scene so wholesome yet so heartbreaking.Seeing Will learn about the Time Lords was such a great scene.Him begging the Doctor to take the gun was just so sad.Will could be the perfect father for The Doctor,just like he said.
The Time Lords have a diamond,a white point star.The star only Time Lord could have.Seeing The Doctor realize that his species have somehow broken the time lock had my heart racing, i was so scared watching that scene.
After that scene we see Will and the Vinvocci fighting off the missiles which was such a fun scene to ease off the big tension in the episode.
The Doctor,Master and Time Lords reunite.One of the most scariest scenes i have ever seen.Never have i ever felt so frightened seeing a showdown.
I had so many thoughts coming at once:Who is going to die?Is time collapsing?Are the Time Lords back?Will The Master be on Doctor's side?
And then it started.
The Time Lords had the plan to destroy everything and become pure consciousness.Of course neither The Doctor or The Master wanted that.Then that woman shows up again,trying to point to something.I was so confused and thrilled at that moment that i barely could continue with the episode.
The doctor,armed,facing the two deadliest things on two sides,and not knowing what to do.
In the episode "The Doctor's daughter" The Doctor says "I never would".And now it was said by The Master: "You never would",that scene was just so brilliant,the foreshadowing was so unexpected.
And then: "Get out of the way.",instantly brought a smile to my face as The Doctor shot the machine and ended it all.At last,Time Lords wanted to take Doctor with them,but with the last of his power,clinging on to his life,The Master saves Doctor's life and dies.I was left so empty after that scene and there was even more to come.
I was so happy when i saw The Doctor realizing that he is alive,until...the 4 knocks.
Wilfred Mott.The man who helped save the world,now has to see the one who saved it die,because of him.
In this scene David Tennant dropped his best performance of all time,and one of the best performances in all of tv.I felt every single thing i could've possibly felt watching this scene.
"But it's not fair!".
It really isn't.Only 6 years to live as a a Time Lord,that is way too short.I am getting too emotional writing this and seeing how much i am going to miss the 10th doctor.
And for one last thing,our beloved Doctor goes to revisit all of his children of time and close friends.They all make great interactions,especially with Will,a character i will never forget as he was so wholesome and sweet which brought joy in every episode,seeing him in tears made me shed a tear too.Though i wish Doctor had a talk with Jack but it doesn't matter that much.
He goes into the TARDIS,barely being able to walk,when we see the hand glowing and the music of the end.A close up to his Face : "I don't want to go" I cried.One of the first times in my life i have cried to a tv episode or for any media in general.Genuienly one of the saddest scenes in the whole of tv.Seeing him so scared made me feel so bad for him as he didn't live a long life.
Then he regenerates.The era of the 10th doctor is gone.
We see the 11th doctor already looking great and funny,i hope to see good things from him.
I think no doctor will be better than the 10th Doctor.The Time Lord Victorious.

If you have come all the way to here,genuienly thank you.I just like my reviews being appreciated and it means much to me.
As for the rankings,i dont know where i'll rank the episode right now,i'll do that when i finish the whole of Doctor Who.
Other rankings of s4 coming in s4 review tommorow.
