Doctor Who: Waiting for Impending Doom Continues
Not sure how many of you have seen the first part of…DOOM!!! Alright. Not exactly doom, but rather the highly anticipated Doctor Who X-mas special, which will result in hallowing in a new era of the Matt Smith Doctor, and kiss the old one, meaning David Tennant, goodbye.
Thus far, the nailbiting adventure has brought back the old and the bad: John Simms is back as The Master, except somehow even more likeable and charming than the last time around. Turns out, The Master was not crazy, he just can’t stop hearing the drums!!!
Grandpa Noble is back as well, we just cannot figure out why, but we like the old man a lot.
And also, Donna Noble is back! Donna turns out to be one of the select few humans who can resist the Master’s mind-manipulation techniques. As a side effect, Noble is also starting to remember the past, which is a bit of a relief considering that she has left to a cruel, average and miserable destiny, leading the life of a minimum wage temp.
At the end though, we are exposed to not only a swarthy, vocal and somewhat spitty Timothy Daulton, but to a potentially returning glory of Gallifrey.
Here’s the teaser for the Saturday’s conclusion of the End of Time!!!

Dr WTF
I’ve seen the second part. Mince is the word. Massive plot hole involving a diamond. But it is a kid’s programme after all, and it shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Odd: words I have to type in before posting; David noised.

re: Dr WTF
It really felt like a heartfelt goodbye, as if Tennant didn’t want to really leave, even though we fully understand that he signed up for US-based Rex show.
But I do not think that it is a kids’ show. Dr. Who always aimed for family friendly grounds, but it never aimed at exclusively children as audience, and that much is obvious from the kind of stories that are produced.
There is a bit of Dr. Who for every generation and this is no accident. That is why it consistently produces such high ratings in UK, and why it survived as a franchise as well as acquiring a steady cult following.
re: the captcha words are amazing and strange and sometimes weirdly coincide with what we write about.
