Brace yourself for massive comment. I haven't had many to talk to about this.
I WANTED MY HUUUUUGGGGGGGGGG. It totally happened though. It really did. It's just the fault of stuffing so much into an episode less than an hour long, that's all. Really. He couldn't have NOT given her a hug! RIGHT!? BUT I STILL WANTED ONE.
We got THIS though
which is essentially Doomsday done right. Melt my heart why don't you? Still, not enough though, hmph!
I really loved Sarah Jane's DENIAL. Especially considering she used to frequently cry over him thinking he was dead. She knows him better now. I also love her and Jo's contrasting reactions to the Doctor's new face; Jo makes the crack about him looking too young but Sarah fittingly no longer bats an eye.
Speaking of Sarah, I love how quickly she and the Doctor got into the groove of working together, no questions asked, they just immediately got to doing what needed to be done. Oh and yes, the ventilation shaft. I half expected her to quip something like "I'm not gonna pull you out if you get stuck!" I'm also glad they let the Doctor keep calling her "Sarah". in School Reunion it was always Sarah Jane. Oh and I loved "Come along Smith!" :D
On Matt in this episode, I agree, I don't think it would've worked quite as well with Tennant even if he was marvelous as Ten. This episode was about Pertwee's girls, and therefore needed a Pertwee-like Doctor, and Matt's strong point is being able to act so old and soft-spoken grandfatherly even with his young face. I did like the conversation with Jo, I'm glad she's had a fantastic life.
Amy/Rory name mention! Yay! And Liz, and Brig, and Ian, and Barbara, and Tegan, and Harry, and Ace....
Oh Ten, he visited EVERYONE. Makes his "reward" carry even more significance. And also gives an even better reason as to why his regeneration exploded like it did if he held it off that long.
Finally..... CLYYDDDEEEE You're so destined to be a companion! I loved his conversation with Eleven in the ventilation shaft! I laughed. I love that 507 was such a random number that you could easily take it as a joke, but also take it seriously if you want to.

And enough from me, sorry about that.
