Well that was all right. It seemed long on set up and the climax was rushed. The solution was similar to what i was expecting; he TARDISes everyone off. Except I was expecting him to just not teleport them back to Earth; take them anywhere else, anytime and people never hear of them again and all the news will be the same as if They actually died.
Still isn't their an evil future version of The Doctor? The Valeyard? Tennat was getting pretty dark and close to that at the end.
The End Of Time Preview looked naff to me. Donna and the Master return. Bleh.sigpic

After a ridiculously slow first quarter the episode was everything we were promised. This almost makes up for the travesty that was Planet of the Dead. I utterly loved it though as Crazedwraith says, the ending was kinda obvious and he could have done it without messing up time by taking them somewhere other than home.

In my opinion, it wasnt what they hyped it up to be as one of the scariest Doctor Who episodes
Overall it was still quite a good episode but I do agree it felt a bit rushed
The bit where it explained why she wasnt killed by the Dalek was well explained, because it too probably realised it couldnt change time.
Also, I kind of predicted the ending but because of spoilers but didnt expect the Doctor to get so full off himself with the whole 'Im the last one left so i can make the rules'. It seemed quite out of character for him, but Im glad he realised what he had done.
I also agree with Crazedwraith that he could have taken them somewhere else so her daughter still thought she was dead.
Im going to rewatch it on iplayer later because i was eating my dinner while watching it so didnt give it my full attention. Ill probably add to this after I rewatched it.
End Of Time looks quite goodLast edited by Teddybrown; 15 November 2009, 11:33 AM.

I thought the Dalek thing was silly. I mean the Dalek plan at the time was to wipe out the entire universe; all universes in fact. So if that Dalek can't even kill a little girl because time says so. How are you supposed to wipe out reality?
And how come these Future people have never heard of The Doctor? despite saving the Earth several bazillion times.
Edit: Sorry Teddybrown but its a persnal bugbear of mine: See my username? See the singular capital letter? I know its petty but still.sigpic

That Dalek was probably sensible, Davros was intent on destroying the universe lol
And maybe the future people just wernt told about him?? I dunno, maybe they just forgot about him seeing as they were on Mars for 2 years?

... time timey time.
He seemed a bit full off himself and it was a bit too out of character for me
But Im glad he realised what he had done and the consequences it would have.
I wonder if hes going to try and stop it because of the bit at the end in the Tardis

The special was okay, at least it was better than Planet of the Dead and that idiotic Cybermen thing some time ago.
Ending, well, was obvious, the same as the Pompey episode. I had hoped he had walked away while hearing the people inside die, but I guess that's too dark for Doctor Who.
I liked the "Time Lord Victorious" speech at the end; a darker Doctor, just what we needed. I also liked the Captain's comments on the Doctor's arrogance, finally someone who says something about his behavior and actually manages to bruise his ego. Now lets hope he goes insane and someone has to stop him for a change.Signed,

Also, he did rescue two people, and allowed Earth to realise why the base had to be destroyed.
What I want to know, is how the two survivers told their superiors/ the press how they escaped from Mars without their rocket. A mysterious man with a blue policebox turns up and whisked them away?

What episode is he told he is going to die? I cant remember
But screwing up time doesnt sound like the Doctor if you know what I mean
And the survivors will probably not be believed, but they will probably have to report to UNIT or someone like that
But rescuing two people may have jeapodised (dunno how thats spelt) the whole planet
What I want to know is what was under the ice...

Doesn't the Doctor usually rescue people from time, when they're under dire circumstances?

I quite enjoyed this one, it did take time to get going but in the end it was good, damn creepy, made me think twice about having a bath.
Ok here goes
Bloody hell hasn't Shane from Neighbours got old
What was the point ofWALLEGadget apart from being a get out clause
God save me from American gadget geek boys
...Ooh Top Gear... sorry got sidetracked...Oooh an Aston Martin
A dark Doctor, a Doctor who believed he was a God and A Doctor who finally realised what he'd done and got told he wasn't all that, was worth the wait.
as for next time bring it on
