No apologies needed -- taunting (and taunting the taunters) is a long tradition, and totally different from actual spoilage.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Did.Not.See.That.Coming.
At the risk of being taunty/curmudgeony...it felt like the first 3/4 if the ep was a very long build up to the last big reveal. So much more story could have been told.
Still. Who gets a big ol' pass from me, no matter what.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I just saw it has two parts, one to be broadcast next week.
I don't know if to ahem one part and watch it now, or to ahem them both later and watch together.
Also, when the Tennant-Hamelt will be on on the TV?

Tennant's Hamlet is being shown on the BBC in the UK this evening. I expect it will be up for aheming tonight.
Re: 'End of Time': I wasn't impressed. It felt like a big mess. I did not need nearly that many scenes showing the Master eating everything. The Girl harumphed "X-Men!" everytime he started flying around, and I tend to agree - too many influences, from Harry Potter (the Master has horcruxes, apparently) to Heroes. Mainly I was confused and annoyed. Apart from the scenes with Wilf and Donna in, which were awesome - the scene between the Doctor and Wilf in the cafe, where he said he thought he was really going to die, was amazing. I hated mostly everything Master-related, though, which made me sad because John Simm was fantastic last time. Here's hoping he redeems himself in true evil-genius-mode in the New Year's Day episode.
Speculation: Wilf. Time Lord? And is the woman he was talking to possibly Romana? That would be fun. Time Lords! I whooped very loudly at that ending. But, oh, RTD - screw up the explanation of how the Time Lords are back, and an entire fandom will cry. So get it right.

While walking the dog this morning, I had Seska's thoughts.
Very much, "Hey! The only thing I really liked was the preview of the next episode." Good on them for leaving me wanting more, but an entire episode of buildup seems like a lot of wasted real estate.
And Seska, your speculation about Wilf being a time lord, or at least time lord adjacent occurred to me too. It will be interesting to see if we are right.
I'm wondering about the metaphor of consumption. "Master eats world" is sort of interesting, but I hope it doesn't turn into one of those errant child needing to be put in his place by the wiser overseers storylines that we've seen in pretty much every other scifi show. The Master deserves better treatment than, say, Dom DeLuise on SG-1. Or Buffy's demony roomie.
