Doctor Who - Thoughts on the S3 finale

Jul 02, 2007 14:19

I'm generally fairly forgiving with my tv shows. If I enjoy the concept, I can overlook poorly written episodes or plot resolutions that make me scratch my head. I can get behind the premise and accept just about anything that the show wants to feed to me and I'll just scratch my head a bit, shrug, and move on ( Read more... )

Why the Dobby the house elf effect was 'eh', and the Valiant was completely stolen from Marvel comics and S.H.I.E.L.D. (who probably stole it from someone else), I wasn't too wound up about this episode. RTD has had a habit of pulling out the ol' deus ex machina whenever he needs it.

If the Master was using the network to control the humans, then it sorta makes sense it can be reversed. The glowing, floating Jesus effect is just a little too reminescent of Rose's swallowing the eye (heart? liver?) of the TARDIS and defying everything and rewriting stuff. Oooo, and there's a parallel universe that we can never visit again. Ha, I say.

So, what about the Face of Boe? I didn't quite see that one coming.

Still loved Derek Jacobi though.

It can be reversed to do mind-control, yes. I'm on board with that. That's what it was doing to begin with-- a low-level (specifically mentioned low-level, because anything greater would cause the humans involved to fight it) mind-control. It wasn't physically altering anything. And suddenly reversing it and have it do something completely off the wall and unrelated to what it was doing before-- that's what I have issues with.

The glowing, floating Jesus effect is just a little too reminescent of Rose's swallowing the eye (heart? liver?) of the TARDIS and defying everything and rewriting stuff.Another of my friends mentioned Rose, and while I can see the comparison, it's a completely different scenario to me. Rose had taken on the Time Vortex-- the whole of time and space. If I'm going to accept that the Time Lords exist, and that they can travel in time and space via this Vortex, then I am perfectly able to accept that ( ... )

I think you hit all the 'didn't do it for me' bits of this show ( ... )
