In the mix were a few surprises, as well as the return of Seventh Doctor companion, Ace (Sophie Aldred), and Tegan Jovanka (Janet Fielding), companion to the Fourth and Fifth Doctors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus: Daleks. Cybermen. The Master. And more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what did you actually think of it? Was this a fantastic end of a chapter in <em>Doctor Who<\/em>&#8216;s long history? Was it a middling departure for this incarnation of the Time Lord? Or was it a damp squib? We&#8217;d love to know your thoughts, so why not vote in our poll?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-crowdsignal wp-block-embed-crowdsignal\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<script>var pd_tags = new Array;pd_tags[\"11226069-src\"]=\"poll-oembed-simple\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.polldaddy.com\/p\/11226069.js\"><\/script><noscript><iframe title=\"What Did You Think of Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor?\" src=\"https:\/\/poll.fm\/11226069\/embed\" frameborder=\"0\" class=\"cs-iframe-embed\"><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Voted?

How about how Ace and Tegan were treated? Did all the companions get a good enough goodbye? And what about that final scene? Where is <em>Doctor Who<\/em> heading next?
