shadydaveWatched new Who! It was really special.
Doctor Who: The End of Time, Part 1
So, my theory as to why Wilf is important?
...
Wait for it...
...
BAD WILF!
::ba-dump chh!::
(Also, apparently been reading way too much WoT stuff: my first thought was actually "He must be ta'veren!" I definitely lose points for that one.)
Other comments:
- I love Wilf and the senior citizens brigade (though MAN were those some abrupt tone shifts)
- (Evil?) TIME LORD TIMOTHY DALTON \o/
- The Master is so hungry, he's started eating the scenery (also, he was totally "I KNOW, I'LL DISGUISE MYSELF AS A CHEESEBURGER!")
- At least he didn't eat *raw* hamburger meat (thanks, SPooN!)
- I'm slightly unclear on how he turned into Gollum, though.
- To continue on the Master: so, I guess Rusty just finished watching season 1 of Heroes?
- Yay Donna!
- Um, the Naismiths were CREEPILY INTO EACH OTHER
- Hey, remember the time our president got vaporized, so we elected Obama? (Also, I felt the Obama broadcast scene lacked ironic impetus because let's face it, he's been having enough trouble solving America's woes, much less the world's. Also, Obama does not have a receding hairline.)
- The Master has taken over the world with 80s morphing effects! Never has his evil been so apparent.
- Also: geez, could Rusty at least steal from the GOOD Matrix movie?
- I liked that Lucy got her shit together, but that whole beginning sequence was just baaaaad. It sounded like it was cribbed from Z-list fantasy (or a Uwe Boll movie; I'm pretty sure it would have fit right in In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale)(yes, Uwe Boll rates below Z-list) and I'm annoyed that a random lady picked up his ring and then died 3 minutes later, contributing nothing else to the plot. You're not supposed to use Chekhov's gun to shoot yourself in the foot.
- Random lady in pearls theory: I think it would be cool if it were Rose (she DOES communicate in exactly the same way as she did in s4).
- Time Lords in funny hats! They seem kind of evil now (mainly because of TIMOTHY DALTON \o/), but I'm hoping at least some of them stick around in a non-totally evil capacity and annoy the Doctor -- that way, he can get over his emo AND they can cause bureaucratic nonsense trouble as needed. Plus they can take over Time Management (ba-dump chh!) and let the Doctor get back to saving all the people who would otherwise slip through the cracks, instead of exercising his God Complex.
While I did enjoy the crack, I have to say, I am SO READY for Rusty to go. Talk about wearing out your welcome; I've basically lost all goodwill towards him this past year because he will NOT fix his issues. Fortunately, this meant that I was able to discard all standards while watching the episode, so I enjoyed it in all its cracked out faily glory.
