After the brilliant Stolen Earth, Journey's End had a lot to resolve - the return of Davros, the departure of Donna, tieing up all the loose ends scattered throughout the first four seasons, and, of course, the three-way ending cliffhanger. Thankfully, it lived up to the hype.
There's so much to love in Journey's End - the emotinial Murray Gold score, Donna's tear-jerking departure, Julian Bleach's wonderfully mad performance as Davros, the 'space-man' scene... it's just a really fun and entertaining climax to the Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who.
The ambition is off the charts, with sub-plots galore, tieing in every character into the narrative as tightly as possible within 50 minutes - although some are wasted, like the Torchwood group and surprisingly Rose, who doesn't get much to do - but, when the characters are properly served, it's so much fun you forget about the nit-picks.
Overall, Journey's End is an emotinial, entertaining end for a magnificent era of the show. 10/10, so much to love.
