Word to all of that. I was just about getting my mind around JE when I read "The Writer's Tale" and realised there were lots of things RTD didn't like either.
There's a feeling in fandom that if you're a shipper and you don't like JE you're ungrateful, because he gave us our happy ending. But my quarrel isn't so much with the ending itself as the way they wallowed in the Doctor's misery. Even with Donna gone, surely there could have been a shred of hope in that last scene - maybe a smile as he thought about the two of them happy together, or a phone call from Jack or Martha?
But no. It had to be laid on with a trowel and we'd seen it all before. Twice. Let's hope Eleven, whoever he is, just can't act the angst.
