Right-o. Sorry about that; I'd been using an iPod. Needless to say, the same luxuries aren't always afforded to miniature screens. Thanks, though.

But that's alright because I like the way it hurts

Completely agree.

Other than that... series 5 went out on a low. Which is a shame because if the Big Bang were awesome, it would have de-throned Series 1 as my favourite since 2005.
Thank you, the Big Bang.
You just let down the Eleventh Hour, Amy's Choice, Vincent and the Doctor and the Pandorica Opens.
What have you got to say for yourself, you fiend!?

I think it's even MORE crap!
Seriously, did Moffat set out to write the most dull and uninteresting conclusion to Series Five possibly imaginable?
Still... although I disliked the Big Bang, I'll miss this series. It had its flaws but the good episodes shone greatly. I have high hopes for series six.
So now that Series Five is now all over, and we won't be hearing from our great Doctor until the 25th of December, I have one thing to say to Matt, and Karen, and Arthur, and Steven, and Beth, and Piers, and everyone else...
So long, and thanks for all the

While I'm whiny, I liked it.
...The first part of my sentence is fail because it means I agree with you. xD
But yeah, I agree with hoshihoshi. We may have different views on a few past episodes but I agree here.
Appears this is one of those eppies that has a split view. :/

I've liked every single episode this series up to now! I've never given anything lower than a six for any Who episode (Bar Time and the Rani, Twin Dilemma and pretty much Sylvester McCoy's entire first season) yet this episode really was an anti-climax, and just rather tedious and mediocre. It had a few good points, like Skuly said. But compared to a previous finale like The Parting of the Ways, it fell down IMO.
Still, could be worse. The Doctor Who forum "Gallifrey Base" has now turned into a war zone. xD But still, I do like this series, on par with Series 4 for the best of Nu-Who for me.

After lurking about on Gallifrey Base... God, the insults some of the people who disliked the episode are getting on there is ridiculous. "YOU'RE JUST WRONG!", apparently.
At least the majority of so-called "haters" are giving reasonings for their disdain. A lot of people who liked the episode seem to be going "I liked it because the time travel was clever!". Yes, the time travel was clever. Too bad it was dumped in a pool of mediocrity and running down corridors!
But yeah. Other than yesterday's episode, this series is probably my favourite next to Series One. I anticipate series six greatly. Hopefully they won't balls up the finale next time!

For returning monsters/enemies... Sea Devils would be nice. Just don't make them look like fecking humans like you did their underground cousins, ok, Moffy? And the Dream Lord/Valeyard. Because he's cool.
For historical figures... Martin Luther King Jr. Imagine the Doctor taking him into the future and showing him how far black rights has come - and how America now has a black president? ...ok, that sounds similiar Vincent and the Doctor, but it could still be a nice scene. And Doctor Who should tackle racial issues, like it did depression in VatD, IMO. Deep subjects for the kiddies is a good thing.
Also Albert Einstein. Or maybe Charles Darwin. We need someone who was a major hand in scientific progression to be in Doctor Who, damnit!
Finally, for returning writers... Simon Nye and Richard Curtis wrote two lovely scripts this year (Neil Gaiman confirmed Curtis' return on his Twitter already though - squee!). Paul Cornell wrote two of my favourites - Father's Day and Human Nature/Family of Blood, so I'd love to see him back. Robert Shearman wrote Dalek, which (arguably) remains the best Dalek story the show's return, and he's only written one script for the show so far. A crime! A crime, I say! And how about a writer from the classic series? I'd like to see a script from Ben Aaronavitch, writer of Remembrance of the Daleks and Battlefield - the former was awesomesauce, and the latter was a good script changed completely during production. And also Terrance Dicks. Because who doesn't love Terrance Dicks?

Cheap pandorica opening is cheap. But the doctor's heroic sacrifice was definitely a CMOA!

Aw no. Uuum, well I guess you're not gonna wait for that long, so stick with it! You've come this far without giving in. You can do it!
lol I sound like someone in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting or something. YOU WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO NOT GIVE INTO THE TEMPTATION! fff
Although 1st part of Pandorica is something of a cliffhanger!

Bookmakers are betting on Matt Smith's exit. Due to all the sunny weather, ratings for The Big Bang only reached around 5.7 million. Without timeshifts. Yet, the Bookmakers are assuming this means that Matt hasn't been and will never be as popular as David Tennant. This has pretty much caused a panic across Doctor Who forums worldwide. O_o
Still, 175-odd days 'till Christmas, and two more Adventure Games to come out. They should fill the Who-gap!

Woah. 62 million people :/ Still, five million out of that watched one TV program, and rating thingies can't measure everyone who watches it.

A bit off topic but, good God your avatar * Crying in a corner* I wouldn't go to bed after seeing that on TV.

Possibly on a level with 'The Sound Of Drums' if not more epic, in terms of pre-finale episodes.

Not only have the final ratings NOT COME IN OR ANYTHING (which matter far more than the overnights), but the AI and Audience Share has remained the same since the Tennant era. Yes, the show is declining in popularity! Somebody call the WHAAAAmbulance.
*sigh*
And if the ratings were really declining... it would be far from Matt's fault, would it? He's been met with praise on nearly every single website I've been on which has a... thing about Doctor Who.
And it's well earned praise, let me tell you.

I was forcing people at work to watch it instead of the footy or whatever else was on TV. XD;;
But now I am sad that there is no new episode this week *cryface*
