I haven't thought of a title to this post yet, i probably won't until i finish writing this. For many of us whovians, mainly the UK right now, we've all just witnessed The Time of the Doctor.
There are a billion and one things i could talk about, but i mainly wanted to focus on Matt, after all, this episode was his sign off and his good bye, and what a spectacular one it was. Moffat neatly (though a little hurriedly) tied off the loose ends, the fear behind the door in God Complex and the b;aster crack in the wall which has been hunting him down since his first ever episode.
To me, thats the beauty of Doctor Who/ The beauty of Matt and Moffat's writing. The fact that th crack in the wall has continuously followed him through his time as our beloved time lord.
Although I remain saying that David Tennant was my Doctor, Matt Smith brought youth and old age together perfectly, he is truly a master of a script and he has created more tearjerkers than any other Doctor I have seen. Losing Matt is like losing your favourite Jumper, despite being mis shaped, a bit holey and odd, it is comforting, heartwarming, and devastating when you realise you have to let go.
His regeneration was all I could have hoped for, and my god were we treated. The last minute of Doctor Who makes me shudder and weep. Amelia Pond running through the TARDIS, swiftly followed by the first and last face he would ever see.
Matt Smith has been every little girls raggedy man, yet even more so the most uplifting, quirky, idiotic man boy that has graced the show, And I for one will miss him. Capaldi has suddenly just been given a bigger set of shoes to step into... God help him.
I just thought of the title. It stands true by every principle, and every particle of Matt's character. His energy will be missed. so much that I'm worried what the future has to offer... I think Moffats clock is striking...
