The End of Time, Part 2 US Airing Grading and Discussion
- Thread starter SG-17
- Start date
I must of missed something because I did not understand the booksigning scene at all.
The author of A Journal of Impossible Things was the great-granddaughter of Joan Redfern from "Human
Nature."
Ah, haven't seen that episode in a long time. I was going to record it too the other night. Probably should have.
That was a great episode for a few different reasons. Quite the treat to see something more of it here.
I thought the episodes were okay. I think the regen. was a bit too drawn out for me... I liked the regen. from series one better. Nine's last words were better, that's for sure.
I've always thought she knew a different incarnation of The Doctor anyway. I watched that two parter yesterday, and it seemed implied.
It's been a while since I've seen CoE, so how so?

That's right! I wonder if they stated if she married Tom... I know I assumed she did.
Of course, we don't know when Ten visited her and Mickey. Could have been years later, but it seemed most were around 2009/2010 (except Rose's).

BBC America ran a marathon of all the Tennant eps for 2 days leading up to the finale (I purposely skipped Part I last weekend so I could see both parts at once). Having seen all those eps so soon before the finale made the last 20 minutes much more emotional as all the companions and aliens in the bar were fresh again. Also, as an old timer, the Sarah Jane farewell was especially poignant and had a finality to it. (she was the only one he waved to in his final visits)
I voted Brilliant, it was an excellent way for Tennant to go out. I loved the acting of Tennant, Sim, Cribbins and Dalton, their fine acting brought the stortline together. I also LOVED Wilf as Luke Skywalker and how the Master was made to to look rather small after Rassilon reversed his great plan so easily. The ending with the various companions was great too and it's probably the last time we'll be seeing most of them so it was the end for them as well.
But, he doesn't. There's continuity of consciousness that occurs over regenerations -- it's not just a different person wakes up with someone else's memories. The same consciousness continues to exist from one regeneration to another.
The Doctor doesn't die -- but his personality undergoes such profound shifts from regeneration to regeneration that it feels like death.
Rassilon was a good guy he put an end to the violent games the Time Lords used to play with lesser forms. Turning him and the rest of time lords into villains kind of pisses me off. Oh well some future writer can fix it and bring Romana back as well. Here's hoping for less Earth and more alien worlds and no Daleks in the upcoming.
Someone hasn't been paying attention.
Time Lords have been depicted as pricks since they first showed up, and the series 5 trailer would appear to have been tailor made to disappoint you.
I disagree they were aloof and insular, but not villainous. Especially Rassilon he was a good guy who put an end to the bad old ways of the Time Lords. He was a hero. I'm sure in the coming years much of RTD's silliness will be expunged and Romana will Return! It would be nice to know what happened to all the non-Time Lord Gallifreyans and Leela.

They were at the very least seen as being corrupt from the start.

a) it's mentioned in The Five Doctors there are two stories o Rassilon - one in which he was the inventor of the Death Zone on Galifrey and the other he banned.
b) there's the 6Th Doctor's speech about the how corrupt the Time Lords are when he was on trial and how they moved Earth out of it's proper location and scortched it to protect their little secrets
and I'm sure there are others but the idea of the Timelords being a corrupt body is definately not new.
No, for it to be death, the Doctor's consciousness would have to cease to exist.
Your consciousness underwent profound changes between childhood and adolescence, but that does not mean that puberty is the same thing as death.

Yeah you right. However I thought Rassilon trick with the immortality kind of sealed the deal that he was indeed on the side of the angels.
I kind of drifted away after Davidson.
I'm going off of what I remember from the Pertwee through the Baker years.
Yeah but as with Morbius the Time Lords kind of tried convicted and killed him for being a bad guy. So yeah we saw individual Time Lord baddies, but never was the entire race cast in a villainous light.
That and they never showed him vanish like they did.
I too wondered about the fate of the Master. According to the Wikipedia article on the episode, he was sent away with the rest of the Time Lords, but since he wasn't involved in the Time War, that doesn't add up to me.
tomalak, in the episode which Kelso mentions "Human Nature" (also in "Family of Blood" as it's a 2-parter) the journal that John Smith / the Doctor is keeping is referred to in that episode as a "journal of impossible things". Hence the title of the book at the signing.
I thoroughly enjoyed that scene. The author knows who she is talking to, and she is aware enough to ask him if he is happy as well in response to his original question. A simple but beautiful exchange.
