Doctor Who anticipation

So, in less than an hour the season finale of Doctor Who will start.

In preparation, I have re-watched the previous season finales this week and thoroughly enjoyed them both. Of course, they also were both a little teary and incredibly dramatic, something that had lessened in my mind over the months. Re-watching them reminded me of how good they were and how much I enjoyed them. Also, of how much they both moved me.

The interesting thing was that I noticed they both had cliff-hangers of a sort. The main plot was resolved by the end, but there was a hook there. Parting of the Ways had the Doctor's regeneration and Doomsday had the appearance of the Bride. I can only assume that the same is going to happen tonight and I don't even want to speculate on what it could be.

The only other thing that I'm really hoping for from this finale is an absorbing, amazing episode that will leave me impatient for the Christmas special. That's not too much to hope for, is it? ;-)

Only forty minutes to go. Better get myself in place and waiting!
