MEGA SPOILERS in case you have not watched it yet!!!
OK. It's over in the US and we are caught up. They wrapped up the season on Sci-Fi in the USA last night. What an ending, what an episode, just simply amazing! The large cast, multiple sub-plots and fan favorite characters. I read the other threads here right after but if anyone in the US was waiting to jump in and comment-now's the time.
There are some truly great moments in this story. The rescue of Sara Jane from the previous episode's cliffhanger. The TARDIS's almost destruction. The second Doctor. Davros lecturing the Dr. in front of Rose. Mickey and Captain Jack in an embrace. K9's cameo. Torchwood's cameo. Everyone in the Tardis escaping. Donna peeling Sara from Japtain Jack so she can hug him for herself. Towing the EARTH back home! The saying of the goodbyes at the end-especially Sara. Leaving the door open so Mickey may yet return. The return to Bad Wolf Bay.
Dialogue was top notch in this story. So many good exchanges.
Anytime Dalek Caan speaks- Eeeeeee-hee-hee-hee-hee-heee!!!! The Doctor is coing!!!
-------
Daleks - Daleks do not apologize! Exterminate!
-------
Donna - You are nuuuuude!
Doctor - Oh yeahhhh!
--------
Supreme Dalek - Davros, you have betrayed us!
Davros (innocently) - It was Dalek Caan....
--------
The defeat of the Daleks made good sense but seeing them so powerless and getting kicked around like spazes seem just too cruel and too easy. I almost thought I was watching a Children in Need spoof of the show. Still why was the Supreme Dalek able to fire his weapon when no other Dalek, evern Davros, could fire.
The towing sequence could have been done differently. I know it's very WHO to it the way they did. Maybe they could have instead make it seem as though he wasn't sure he could return the Earth to the solar system. Instead of towing he could have said he was going to dematerialize the planet with the Tardis and re-materialize it back where it should be but it means the shield protecting the air and heat would be shed and it would be risky, etc. But I guess if it was done that way it would have been very Star Trek instead.
Donna's dilemma and her cure did seem a bit Rose redeux in The Parting of the Ways but I can live with it.I regret not seeing the Torchwood season finale and Sara Jane's as well. Did they directly lead into the Doctor's season finale?
Something very interesting here in NY in the US is how many of the commercial brakes are of the local strip club, Gallaghers, here in NYC. Nearly every break cuts from Doctor Who to women in slinky outfits gyrating non-stop for the commercial. Very strange indeed!
So now that the Doctor has no companion does that mean Alex Kingston will join the show startig next year?
