End of Time 2
Lowered expectations + leftover New Year's champagne = much more enjoyable viewing experience for EoT part 2 than part 1.
I haven't decided if it was actually better than part 1 (I kind of suspect not), but I sure had more fun with the addition of champagne and the attitude of welcoming the campiness and treating the viewing like a big bingo card/drinking game. Also, the Master didn't do any more gross meat eating, so that's something.
For instance, with some sensible consumption of alcohol,Timothy Dalton throwing a diamond from Gallifrey to Earth may be the funniest thing that ever happened on new Who.
Longer post to come after I've read other people's entries (and when less drunk), but for now I would like to lodge a complaint about the grievous underuse of Donna and general pointlessness and character/continuity issues with the other companions (why was Martha married to Mickey and not Tom? why were Rose and Jackie dressed like they came from some year that totally wasn't 2005? and why, oh why, did the Doctor in no way acknowledge the events of CoE in his treatment of Jack? seriously, Jack can hook himself up with one night stands perfectly fine on his own.) However, I would also like to voice my great joy that the possible huge reset of everything did not happen and my elation that no companions died. Matt Smith is starting out in the positive column (even if his regeneration did blow up the TARDIS interior for no good reason.)
