IMO, the transition undermined the last twenty minutes of the episode.
On the other hand, When it comes to Doctor Who, that's how it goes when one actor leaves a role and another person inherits it. I've witnessed nine transitions, and all of them have worked out so...
I think they sacrificed story to give us the Doc visiting all of the people who meant something to him. But I wouldn't have taken it out for nothing.Even then I think the story was kind of "meh". But it's understandable, the hardest part of a story to get right is the ending.
I'm working hard to not judge the new Doctor yet, but it's difficult. I'll say again that Tenant is a hard act to follow. We'll see how things go. And ooh let's not forget their is another Tenant Doctor out their living with Rose(parallel dimension)! Would love to check in on them and see where that relationship is now. So always a chance for a guest appearance!
I think it was good, I thought some things just missed. I thought The Master was amazing in this one, and was, unfortunately, the star of the show. The writing was uneven, and slightly tilted to making it a tribute to Tennant [RTD has obviously been crushing on him for years], and handcuffing him a bit. While it was nice to see the companions, it was clumsy. I don't think the only time I see Captain Jack is when he is cruising intergalactic gay bars for 90 seconds. Or Sarah Jane's son being spanked for crossing the road without looking. Seemed too cute, like I was watching an in-joke I didn't get.
On the bright side, all this made me handle the new doctor better than I thought I would. However, with a new production team in charge, it will be interesting to see where they go with it.
