some really great moments, loved the way that the audience is kept guessing throughout :thumbsup: sorry to see Martha leave, at least she had a great storyline I suppose. Is the Master really dead ...

Jack is the Face of Boe :blink:
Martha's leaving? I don't really know what I think about that (if indeed she is leaving for good), I'm not particularly upset but she has grown on me.
Crashing into the Titanic :lmao:. Will all DT finale's end with him going "What?!" :lol:
It doesn't look like it's the end for The Master :yahoo:, and :tear: to the scene where he died.

I may be more coherent after I watch it again and don't have my Mum walking in going "what are you OMGing at?" :lol:

Ditto. :blink: :blink:

Loved bits of it, thought some bits were just plain daft - the Doc as a canary, for instance. Maybe it`s just me not being 9 years old. :lol:

That was a bit weird. You have your main hero unrecognisable, another tied up and both given little screentime :blink: :ponder:

After such a run of quality episodes I thought the finale was a bit disappointing, the stuff with everyone saying the Doctor's name somehow :shrug: restoring the Doctor was a bit lame and not very well explained imo. It also suffered from DT's absence for most of the episode.

I did think the character stuff was much stronger :thumbsup: the Doctor's loss at the Master's death and Martha decision not to continue with the Doctor, I'm sad that she's gone as I really liked her but I can she why she did it and it was nice have her decide to leave rather than have something happen to make her leave.

No idea what to make of Jack as The Face of Boe. :blink:

It makes perfect sense for Jack to be the face of Boe, I don't know what you're all going on about :unsure: :unsure: ;) :lol:

I'm afraid I'm going to have to go against the forming consensus here, I loved it :thumbsup:

It was great to see Martha running the show, in a role that was written to be filled by Rose, but hey, maybe that's just me.

I loved the scene where she knelt in front of the Master, and started laughing, so did I and I didn't even know what the plan was, I just laughed because I knew she had one.

Then the idea of the Doctor tapping into the telepathic field that the Master had created, that was just brilliant.

The only thing that did annoy me a bit, was the fact that the Doctor turned into Gollum :rolleyes: :lol:


Roll on Voyage of the Damned :yahoo:

That was so intense, a brilliant piece of writing!!
The story line was fairly predicatable, but it was extremely well done.
It's in my top ten of the best tv ever.

I thought the first 35 minutes was quite hit and miss. Fantastic in places, odd in others, slightly disappointing at other points.

That being said, the final 10 minutes was brilliant.

I loved the way they handled The Master's death, I thought they handled the Martha leaving situation really well, keeping you guessing right until the end, and even now we're not sure that's permanently gone. I also liked the way they revealed Jack as The Face of Boe, no big dramatic reveal, just a throwaway line. Brilliant.

Despite a slow start to the episode, I really enjoyed it in the end. IMO, this has been the strongest season so far.

It was totally daft, a lot of contrivances, but overall I enjoyed it.

I'm sad to see Martha go, even though I preferred Rose, she just seemed to be settling in.

The only bit that really grated was the end. That's two years running they've had a really big emotional final scene and then ballsed it up by sticking in the hook for the Christmas special <_<

They didn't stick in a hook. It looked more like a prow :p :lol:

jack .... the face of bo (i thought the skin face lady was the last human alive ......... unless jack turned to an alien world to get a shorter life span ........... 3 millions and something before he died :( but then i would understand why he would lost his fun after that long ........... but why talk in riddle to warn the doctor :ponder: ) now is that a way to tell us jack won't be back in doctor who because there would be too much question <_<

that was a little long just to rewind everything but the twist was good (of course there had to be a betrayal but out of two people helping martha with capturing a sphere, it was quite hard to decide which one it was going to be <_< :rolleyes: )

the assistant killing the master :o , she didn't look happy from the start of the episode so no surprise she was saying "doctor" with everyone else but i wouldn't think she was going to do it (now who was the woman taking the master ring? :unsure: )

the sphere being the one who left for utopia (i wondered why the master took the disc in episode 11 :rolleyes: ) :o :fear:

so was it the doctor or jack destroying the paradox machine that rewinded history :unsure: now he said there were a year and a day before but he also said the US president was still dead (not mentionning PM saxon disappearance)

martha leaving :( she did prove that she was able to handle herself ............. yeah sure leave your mobile just in case ........

and deja vu "what! what? what?" :rolleyes: and i thought the tardis couldn't be broken so how did the titanic broke in? (should have been a big crash or like when the weeping angels shook the tardis but more brutale :unsure: )


a very good episode but not the best finale, imo

I didn't think that it grated as much as last year, where I did think it was awful. DT crying and then Catherine Tate popping up screaming hardly fitted <_<.
I liked the episode. It could have done with more DT but I still liked it.

I thought he looked more like Dobie The House Elf.

Like to add another thumbs up from me, very good episode which did take a little while to get going.

Liked the way the Master's 'death' was handled but he'll be back eventually with that ring at the end probably holding his conciousness. John Simm was excellent again in this episode.

Oh and David Tennant didn't regenerate TAKE THAT YOU TABLOID SCAREMONGERS!!!!

Looking forward to the Titanic episode at Christmas, and yes they again end with a cliffhanger which does spoil the mood a lttle but you need to have a cliffhanger, especially for the kiddies.

just wonder how the doctor knew about the countdown to launch the missiles a year later (what he told martha before she left for her year running around the world) :unsure:

Another excellent episode following on from last weeks. The master was just as charismatic as the Doctor - in a evil sort of way. This episode kept me guessing right up until the end, it never occured to me that the Troclofane would turn out to be human.

I did have a brief look in here when the episode had aired, I knew I shouldn't as I didn't watch it on Saturday. I was waiting to see how it would come out that Jack was the face of boe. I read that part in someones post and quickly pressed back!

The ending frightened me to death when the Titanic barged through the Tardis, either the volume turned itself up or it was very loud.

So the upside is we know what the title of the next episode is and when its on, but the downside is we have to wait till Christmas to see it. :(

One for the 9 year olds? :shrug:

And hasn't the Master regenerated as a nailvarnish wearer (I'm being gender unspecifice out of great respect for Captain Jack, Spike and Ozzy Osborne....)

unless it was his new assistant/companion ........... who took the ring that contain the master :ponder: :shrug:

Contain?

OK you must know something about the cremation of Time Lords that I'm missing.... :shrug:

:lol: :ermm: not really but there must be a reason for someone to take the master's ring :unsure: :shrug:

Other than feeling a three volume novel coming on, the place the Doctor held the funeral looked pretty unpopulated. Moreover, perhaps only a megalomaniac Time Lord can think he can refuse to regenerate- evil genius yes, always right...? :shrug:

it look like the doctor did the funeral thing at the end of the universe (whatever happened to the futuremen during that time :shrug: ) :unsure:

The first thought that sprung into my mind when they showed the cremation was Luke and Darth/Anakin...

i suppose the doctor didn't want Unit or torchwood (even if jake said it had changed) to take the master body :unsure:

Up to this episode I really liked this series. But this was appalling.

A manic diminutive Master, jumping about like a rubber ball - no, it didn't work for me. The drumming was a nice idea (the first few bars of the theme tune), but I never thought of The Master as mad - just evil. Mind you, Derek Jacobi was brilliant - pity he couldn't have stayed on. :ponder: [SIZE=7]
