I've already watched this episode a million times and the ending a million more! It's the ultimate collection of characters from Sarah Jane right down to Harriet Jones. Full of suspense, action, emotion, and laughter, this episode has to be one of the best yet! All the important actor's are great, it connects a lot of the previous episodes, and I'm going to die over the cliffhanger. The Doctor can't regenerate! NOOOOO!!! David Tennant is too good! His acting when he saw Rose was superb, he looked astonished and then like he was the happiest he had ever been in his whole life, which is just what I was expecting out of that moment. Oh, if only they had managed to embrace, that Dalek was too cruel (I know they're supposed to be, but I emphasize "too")!
However, even a brilliant episode has it's faults. The joke about everyone knowing Harriet Jones is getting a little old, I have to admit, but it's still a little funny. The actress who played Suzanne managed to mess up a really small part (her astonishment seemed really fake). Sarah Jane seemed a little wimpy (actually both her and Jack gave up a little too quickly, I think, when they found out it was the Daleks) at the end when she came across two Daleks. I suppose I still have to give her some credit though, she doesn't have any weapons whatsoever, but the least she could have done was to duck and reverse.
But despite these small faults, I still give this episode a ten. OMGosh! I can't wait for next episode! And then the season will be over! *sniffle* If only American television was half as good as this!
