Thanks for the white text guys, I'll continue for Jaffa's benefit. 😉 🙂
If it weren't for all the twists and turns, I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed this episode as much. In the end though, I did think it was pretty good, but could have been better. A few things...
Martha saving the world. Rose wiping out the Daleks was a bit much for me at the time, and this was more of the same for me. It's nice to see companions who aren't helpless and useless, however they don't need to be "super companions". 😉 I just don't see Nyssa or Liz Shaw doing this type of thing if they would have ever been put in this position... and I never thought Rose or Martha were anything special when compared to other companions, deserving of such a standout role so to speak... 😛
Utopia - I called this, in that I knew we hadn't heard the last of it. 😀 But why would the future humans come back to kill themselves? Had they degenerated so much that it just didn't matter to them anymore? 😕
The Master dying. I liked John Simm's portrayal in general, although a little too much of a "joker" in some cases - a little too over the top. Yes, we can't expect him to be like Delgado, since just as the Doctor changes each regeneration, so does the Master, but I didn't have as much respect, if that's the right word, for this Master as compared to Delgado and *gasp* even Ainley at times. That being said, I think Simm ranks second only to Delgado for his portrayal - a good job overall. But with him dying - that was his wife picking up the ring at the end, so what does this mean? To me, it means the Master somehow switched places with his wife and shot her to fake his death - but would he actually have been that clever and be able to put his arrogance aside in order to plan for this? Unlikely, but you never know... However, if he did transfer into his wife's body somehow, then with Archangel now disabled would the Doctor not feel his presence still with nothing to mask it?
I didn't care for the Gollum Doctor either, but what can you do. And even though he was tied into the network, yadda yadda, I still don't understand how that automatically makes him younger again. Ah well... 😉
How did he repair the TARDIS? It was looking pretty hurting...
And Captain Jack is the Face of Boe?!? Wow, didn't see that one coming... If that's the case though, then Cassandra was not in fact the last pure human. Hmm, but I thought that Boe came from the planet of Silver Desolation or something that that effect and wasn't human... Well, it could always be a coincidence... 😉
Martha leaving was a surprise and I hadn't heard that this would be the case. Interesting...
Lastly, the TARDIS is indestructible, so how could the Titantic penetrate it's walls like that?! 😕
Anyway, all the above points aside, I'm not trying to be too hard on my beloved show, and I did enjoy this last episode, but I can;t just blindly saw, "That was awesome!" when all of the above points are quite valid in my opinion. 😎
