I've re-watched "Death of the Doctor" about 507 times now (to name a number), and I still absolutely love it. However, I do have to say that Gareth Roberts delivered a better script in "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith," as that was indisputably an SJA episode that also happened to have the Doctor in it, while this felt a lot more like a Doctor Who episode that also happened to have the SJA cast in it.

But what can I say, I love it all the same. In fact, I think I like it even better, if only because Sarah and the Doctor got to actually interact this time, at least a little bit. I still laugh at the "ventilation shaft, that takes me back," line, every single time. The Doctor just seems so gleeful, and then Sarah gives him this look and it's priceless.

By the way, a random thought -- remember how there was all that talk after "School Reunion" on how Sarah didn't seem to remember "The Five Doctors?" Well, we have more of the same here, as the Doctor's exhortation to remember "every face, every madman, every Doctor, every me" failed to turn up a hint of Peter Davison, and at the end Sarah says she "can't be sure" about Tegan even though they've actually met! So now I wonder: did the Time Lords (or Rassilon) erase Sarah's memory, or is "The Five Doctors" not considered part of canon?

Finally, there's one word in the Doctor's speech through the door that I can't quite catch. Can anyone help fill it in? Here's what I have:

I want you to remember, every single day with me, every single second. Because your memories are more powerful than anything else on this planet. Just think of it, Sarah, remember it, Jo, but properly; properly. Give the memory weave everything, every planet, every face, every madman, every [____?____], every sunset, every scent, every terror, every joy. Every Doctor. Every me.

Even with the missing word, isn't that an awesome speech? I really love Matt Smith's delivery, too.
