Good farewell to the EleventhFirst off: A majority of the negative reviews are reflecting upon the poor marketing that went into the Season Pass. "The End of Time" episodes were included in the Pass, and since many already owned them, they felt cheated, along with the fact the Christmas episode was released on iTunes the morning after it aired. However, if the purchasers who left poor reviews read what was included and understood that the episodes are not released till the morning after, there would be fewer poor reviews. That being said, I thought the actual Christmas special was really good, but not quite the best. I will be careful to avoid spoilers in the rest of my review. I agree with the reviewer who said that some of the scenes with villains seemed rushed. I see why they were rushed, but I feel it would have been better to add more time to the special to allow room for more details. That being said, the important parts that contributed towards the plot were timed quite well. Some have said the plotlines were sometimes too confusing and did not blend well together in some areas. I did not find them to be a bit confusing or not fitting, although I can see how it is possible to view them as so if the viewer is not paying attention. *POTENTIAL SPOILER BELOW* While some may say the regeneration was "rushed" as well, I actually think it was quite a fitting way for the Eleventh to regenerate. He was, sometimes, erratic; hence his regeneration ended up being so. *POTENTIAL SPOILER ABOVE* Overall, I felt it was a pretty good farewell to the Eleventh. Now for the nine month wait till we see the Twelth in a full episode....Score: 4/5
Extremely DisappointedDoes not include the 2013 Christmas episode, The Time of the Doctor. Not worth the price at all..Score: 1/5
Disappointing - this is a cheap marketing trick!!!I am a very big fan of Doctor Who! Have been eagerly waiting "Time of the Doctor" to be released. As a big fan I have purchased all the seasons from iTunes. Now to see them wanting them to trick me into buying The End of Time 1&2 when I already own them is in poor taste. Doctor Who is Fantastic!!! Please don't let these gimmickry and cheap marketing tricks spoil what is one of all time great shows!.Score: 1/5
Not Bad…but Not Great Either.I was really excited for this episode. Given the greatness of the 50th anniversary special, I was hoping that the same energy would be portrayed here. And to some degree I wasn't disappointed. However, without giving anything away, there were serious faults with Matt Smith's last episode. Primarily with the number of villains. While the teasers promised an epic last adventure for Smith's departure, I found that by including most of the major villains of the Doctor, it left very little time for storyline advancement. Enemies were introduced and then passed over more times than I can count. It would have been best to stick with one enemy (probably the Daleks ) and allow the rest of the time for awesome action/story advancement. Instead, there was little time for either. In addition, this episode lost a lot of the sadness/final feelings that made Tennant's exit so good. Smith's regeneration seemed rushed and the actual switch was really fast. Sadly, they left out a majority of Smiths cast (Dr. River Song especially), and at the end it seemed that they just ran out of time. I did enjoy this episode, but if you are looking for something like the 50th anniversary special (or the last episode before that "The Name of the Doctor"), then you will probably be disappointed..Score: 3/5
I love it!Thank you, Matt, for a wonderful tenure as the Doctor. You were the coolest!.Score: 5/5
PatientThe episode wont be on iTunes until it airs on tv, and the fact that some of you are mad that they charged you for the other episodes is stupid because your the ones that paid for it. You could have read over what they were charging you for, and made a different choice, but you didnt. You could have been patient and waited to buy the episode after it aired or you can be content to wait like the rest of us are forced to, and enjoy Doctor Who like the Whovians I hope you are. Merry Christmas one and all and to all a good night..Score: 5/5
Honestly... MehI'm a big fan of Doctor Who and have quite enjoyed the Matt Smith arc. That being said I thought this episode dragged on and on and on. Don't get me wrong it was entertaining and would have made an alright normal episode, but to be the last episode for our beloved Mr. Smith? Could have been better. In a sense this pulled a Bioshock: Infinite with the beginning and end being good (though I thought the end could have gone differently as well) but the middle lacking. I don't want to give away the episode so I shall be somewhat vague. The beginning has all the suspense and excitement expected of a special, with all the great races making an appearance, and the banter between Clara and The Doctor being humorous. But then the middle when he is in the town and all of the narration and time is passing just drags. At some point it really just becomes a "I get it already, please move on now" situation. There is admittedly a bit of nice dialogue between Clara and The Doctor, but it is short and sweet. Then we get to the second part of the middle and the excitement picks up for a bit, but then after a bit again it drops back down leading into the end. We get more narration and a bit of a drag again, with a feeling of "I feel as though I have already been through this, in this episode actually!" Now finally it comes to the end and we all know what this episode is for so there is no spoiler in saying here we see the end/death of the 11th (by name only) Doctor. This is done well and of course seeing Mr. Smith go is saddening, but with of the issues the middle of the episode had I ended up actually more so feeling pure relief that it is finally over, and this is not what should be for such a sad moment. Now as for the well known issue of The Doctor's regeneration cycle coming to an end, it was expected for there to be something that happens which allows him to keep living (as the show is not being cancelled). As to how this is done, without giving away any spoilers, I understand why it was done in such a way and I get how it is meaningful. The problem is I felt that it was easy, and I don't mean that there should have been a bigger ordeal for it to happen. No that was pretty well established throughout the episode. I just felt that from a writing stand point it was easy, it just seemed forced and with out the proper "substance" (for lack of a better word) to really give it that "wow" factor. With all of this being said, the episode was good and should be respected for it's part in saying goodbye to Matt Smith. I just felt the middle could have used some tweaking and the ending could have had (again for a lack of a better word) "more.".Score: 3/5
FANTASTIC!!!I absolutely love it. If you're a huge Who fan and will be watching this special many times, then it is most definitely worth the price. I like that the other episodes and the farewell to Matt Smith are included with the season pass..Score: 5/5
LOVE it KUDOS for the package dealWhatever you think of iTunes policies about this release you can for $2.99 American buy JUST the Christmas special or JUST the extras individually. I'm sure that iTunes markets them this way because some people like particular "monsters" or Doctor Who personalities and wish to purchase particular group packages. Nobody twisted your arm to buy the whole set did they? You can usually buy individual episodes for the above mentioned price but you get a price break when purchasing a package! If you want a "non-deluxe" edition of this Christmas special, then just buy the episode separately! There have been times when to sell a package and you only wanted one item sometimes they were marked "Season Only" and you had to buy it all Or nothing at all. KUDOS to iTunes for not doing that to this package. You have options, you choose and get what you pay for..Score: 5/5
ComplainersFor all those who complained about paying the 8.99 or 12.99 for the episode you should have waited til you actually saw the episode on the list and bought it separately for 1.99. Instead you don't look at what your buying and pay for something you already have. Anyways the episode was amazing! And I'm very sad Matt is gone! :( goodbye raggedy man!.Score: 5/5

Is it really deluxeThe show is great, and I’m really going to miss Matt Smith as the Doctor. But I really don’t want last years xmas special. Is there a “non-deluxe” version going to be available?.Score: 3/5
Why include End of Time part 1 & 2I won’t buy the season pass, I already bought End of Time parts 1 & 2 when they originally came out over 3 years ago. I wish there was something else new to offer, I’m just left with getting the episode, no deluxe parts. If I could get a cheaper rate since I already bought parts years ago, then I’d invest in it for the specials..Score: 4/5
DisappointingGoing to miss Matt Smith, already not liking the new doctor...the fun part of the show the past 10 years was that they brought sex appeal into the show, this new doctor has zero appeal. It's like we're back to the original series with old doctors again. :(.Score: 3/5
The Doctor's time isn't on timeIt's a nice pack and all, but… WHERE'S THE TIME OF THE DOCTOR!? When I buy something that says it lets me download the new episode when it comes out, and then it comes out, and I can't download it, that's not okay, Apple..Score: 2/5
