i did think it was stunning and made me cry alot but i do think he deserved a more epic end like all his companions.
edit: on rewatch i understand the tone they were going for and it was understated but epic in its own way :'(

I think that he could not have a send-off that defines him more than the one he had. He was scared, but he refused to show it until the final moments. He was confused, but he refused to show it. He was prepared to sacrifice himself for a friend, and I don't think anyone would have done that, except the one true Tenth Doctor.

I loved the very last bit in the TARDIS when he says, "I don't want to go." I nearly cried it was so perfect. But the ten minutes between when he got poisoned and died was the worst ten minuets of doctor who since they started again in 2005. I won't even go into how horrible it is. I would have been much happier if they had done something simple like had him sit in the park and watch the human activity around before he goes back into the TARDIS and disappears forever. It would have been much poignant then the rubbish they came up with.

I thought it was an epic send off, i loved how he went back and saw his companians, because it reminded you of previous episodes of david tennant playing the doctor. And i loved how he was tearful and said "I don't want to go" that scene made me tearful and all i thought was "awww i don't want you to go!" :D

Yes i do think that David Tennant was not given a good enough send-off. He contributed so much to the programme and his exit was not as mysterious as other Doctor's such as Tom Baker. They should not have used the same regeneration effect as that of the ninth Doctor.

I believe that he had a good "goodbye" and I really wanted to lay on the ground and ball after the "I don't want to go". I loved the part of when he visits all his companions but the best was rose. He told her she would have a great year to come and she's like "thanks, you too" but, his soul would be replaced and he wouldn't really have the best year. If they would've kept him any longer no one would want to see Matt Smith. Matt Smith is good but he had a lot to compete with.

This is one of the greatest doctor who fans,

I believe that he should have had a better send-off. He should've been with someone when he regenerated, and he shouldn't have tried to alter the future in "The Waters of Mars". So, yes, they should've given him a better send-off.

he is tired of letting people die, he decides that he is the last time lord and they are his rules, and his rule is no one dies.plus if he was with some one when he regenerated it wouldn't be so emotion, there for it wouldn't be as good

It shouldn't be a matter of being tired of letting people die. The point of letting Bowie Base One die was so Earth doesn't get infected the second they tried to come back to Earth, plus Susie Fontana Brooke will never see Proxima Centauri because of what the Doctor changed and you can't tell me you don't feel a chill run up your spine or become afraid to look at Ten when he calls himself "The Time Lord Victorious".

It was ok.... I liked how you are always on your heals with the three nocks and then when you never expect it but I mean it could have been so much better than what they did. He should have an EPIC one like Rose or Donna did.

it is fore nocks, and it was perfect, if you watch the youtube video of when they are making it you see what they were going for, and they nailed

No, I think that the writers gave him such an epic and amazing end and I doubt that they could have gotten it better. It was perfect.

He deserved a better reason to die than just radiation. The actual regeneration,though,was good and really emotional. If there'd been a better reason for the regeneration,then it would've been a much better send off.

tsmith120 said:
If by 'better', you mean 'more dramatic' or 'epic', then definitely no. Much as I thought it was very touching, it really didn't help fans come to terms with the fact that not only were we getting a new Doctor, but we were also getting a new head of the series - and said head of the series seemed to go out of their way to avoid any connection to the previous series for no adequately explained reason. 'I don't want to go' - really? Much as it was a sad moment, The Doctor's regeneration is not meant to be something over dramatized. It's a big thing in his life and for the fans, for sure, but personally I thought Eccleston's was much better because it showed him being regretful, but trying to cope with it. It was emotional, but downplayed far more than Tennant's, who caused the TARDIS to explode. Despite the fact that he has regenerated in that same machine on numerous occasions.
I'm sure there are many reasons for the differences, but I don't think it needed to be overplayed any more than it was. It would feel too much like pandering to Tennant fans, who feel he was the greatest Doctor of all time and can never be replaced.

they had the tardis blow up because davids doctor was trying to let all the extra energy out so he didn't have to change, but he relized it would destroy the tardis so he let him self change, and by the way david tennants doctor can't be replaced as you can see with all the series after that, matt smith comes close, almost tied but in the end tennant can't be replaced, he had such grait hair

Mmhm. Still unnecessary and overly dramatic. And any Doctor can be replaced. Tennant was not the 'best' nor the most definitive. He was a good Doctor, but as with all, the time came for him to be replaced. And he was, by a perfectly good Doctor who managed to overcome everything working against him at the beginning of his first series.

"Great hair" is just a really poor reason for saying Tennant can't be replaced. All actors who portray the Doctor can be (and are) replaced. That's the very nature of the role.

I just met this series.
Never heard about it until last month.
I had tears when Tennant left...mostly because the goodbye was not proportional to the fine work he did
in our hearts.

if they could have made a better send of then yes, but i think they did a pretty good job. i don't cry during movies, and i have watched some pretty sad things, but the first time i ever cried during a movie was watching tenant's doctor die:( , i mean he is so sad, then the next second he is as happy as could be which makes it all the more sad, like it didn't matter.

Yes, I hated the End of Time, the Doctor went corrupt and he was all whiny in the end "I dont wanna go" that was really whiny and then Matt smith blew him out of the park being optimistic and nice and "I'll always remember when the Doctor was me"
