Doctor Who: The End of Time, Part One

[weewarrior]

Well, that was ... interesting. I mean, I liked it. In a way.

It was obviously complete and utter crack, and there were some really strange vibes, between the Master Resurrection Group, who reminded me faintly of certain Hollywood Nazi women clichés, and the Naismiths who seemed rather *close* for a father-daughter combo right down to the Master wearing a collar and a leash. I mean, not that I object to the latter, but, seriously? Not to mention that they had him literally eat everything (and everyone) in sight; I felt for poor John Simm.

I vaguely remember there being other things - the scientist cacti, Donna, Wilf being endearing, the usual ex-couple vibes between Doctor and Master (now with childhood memories! And the Master hitting on the Doctor in form of a whole species!), the drums actually being real, far too many Star Wars references, and of course Timothy Dalton, Time Lord, but mostly my reaction was an hour-long "uh...what?"

It was pretty entertaining, though.

Heh. I watched not realising until about 10 minutes to go that it was a two parter. So all the people who are (with fairness) saying it seemed rushed and nothing on how rushed *I* thought it was going to get in the last few minutes!

That must have been a strange experience. I think I clued in that it had to be a two-parter because I had heard before that the Master would be in Ten's last special, so when he showed up in this one...
