Happenstance Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 The Daleks have just all together lost their menace. Overkill x20. Davros was played alright, though. It's a shame that most of the writers this series seem to think that huge, epic, end-of-the-world scenarios are the way forward. Most of the times the best episodes are ones with smaller, more insignificant stories, because resources go on the actual writing, rather than try to direct an action film with the show's humble budget; ie, Blink. Yeah but I think a lot of the time, epic, world in danger stuff makes good season finales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yeah but I think a lot of the time, epic, world in danger stuff makes good season finales. Well I hope RTD is bitter about leaving, and next week the Earth is destroyed with NO GOING BACK. That'll spice things up for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I dunno... how the hell can the Doctor die and still be the same? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I think its gonna be something to do with his chopped off hand and maybe Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I didn't love it. There was too much Torchwood, Martha and everyone else so I hope its a bit more focused next week for the last episode of the series. I don't think Tennant is gone because he's doing/ done the Christmas Special for this year, and sure he's back for the next series... right? After his big run in this play comes to an end. The best part of the episode tonight was the Doctor turning around and seeing Rose. Reunited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoMan1031 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 do i really have to wait 7 days? My thoughts also. Very sneeky of them though, not even showing a trailer for next weeks episode at the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 "I'm sorry for your loss that is yet to come." That's hardly fair. I think the Doctor will leave her behind. Anyway, anyone else think RTD is going to kill absolutely every remaining character, yet again? He's starting to annoy me, John Simm can no longer return as the Master because of him.

Ashley Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I was suprised at how much I liked it. Other than the awful awful dialogue during the Martha/Jack/UNIT commander scene which was just full of tripe it was good. I liked seeing action chick Rose. She should get a spin off. Going round universes kicking ass. Although speaking of, you could tell the Sarah Jane spinoff is for kids. Looks pretty poor. Im wondering how they're going to handle the ending because as other people have said David has been filming plus; They released a promo shot of Doctor, Donna, Martha, Rose, Mickey, Jackie, Sarah Jane and Jack. Although that also confirms SJ makes it...which was obvious anyway but still Oh and as far as epic end of the worldness, always good for a finale. As the writer's toolbook says; always ramp it up a gear. Stack it up against the hero, and keep stacking. Looking forward to next week. Oh and something I realised during the episode; shame Donna seems to be going. She's such a friendly character and nice to have someone whose older and more nurtering in a way. Look at how she handled Martha, just complete friendliness. Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I liked seeing action chick Rose. She should get a spin off. Going round universes kicking ass. Ace Tyler, Defender of the multiverse.

Ashley Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Well to be fair, Harriet (is it Harriet? As it always sounds liked Harrod) Jones may have known she was in some alt-verse so she wouldn't have expected her anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yeah but I mean I think Harriet isnt dead but maybe made into a Dalek to gain information on the rest of the companions but as she didnt know Rose was there then that might end up being an advantage. Oh and the trailer didnt air at one, apparnetly the BBC has said it was due to a scheduling change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoMan1031 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Just found this article that says david tennent does play the doctor in the last episode. The entire universe is in danger as the Daleks activate their masterplan, in the concluding episode of Russell T Davies's Bafta Award-winning time-travelling drama. The Doctor is helpless, and even the Tardis faces destruction. The only hope lies with the Doctor's secret army of companions – but as they join forces to battle Davros himself, the prophecy declares that one of them will die. David Tennant plays the Doctor and Catherine Tate plays his companion, Donna Noble.

Retro_Link Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Harriet Jones won't be dead either, they didn't show it, and the Dalek must have just shot out the computer screen. She'll play a part with the Daleks somehow. Yeah the Doctors Daughter didn't change appearance, but I agree that I think it will be to do with his hand, or Rose using the power she absorbed from the Tardis or something like that. I'm confused about Donna. It's almost like they are making it too obvious that it's her who won't make it, which just makes me suspicious that it will end up being someone else. But then again, the constant "I'm sorry for your loss" etc... towards her, must mean something either happens to her or someone she cares about. Didn't Davros or one of the Daleks say something about "the loss of the most loyal companion"? Hope it's not Rose. If he said "the loss of 'A' most loyal companion" then that'll be ok.

Tellyn Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I was pleased that Harriet Jones didn't end up being the Supreme Dalek and was basically the same character.

Yeah, they're being way too obvious. My money's on Rose, which I'm okay with. Unfortunately, she seems to have lost some of her personality from series 1 and 2. As for the loss ("sorry for your loss that is yet to come" and "loss of a loyal companion"), it doesn't neccessarily mean death. The Doctor's probably going to leave all of his companions behind so he doesn't feel like he's putting their lives at risk. EDIT By the way, where's K9? Was he not in the Sarah Jane program?

Yer i can see where your going with that, at the end of series 2 when rose spoke at the start she referred to it as the day she died, of course she never actually 'died'.
