Any feelings about the Doctor Who OS(original series) series finale?
In a way, it anticipates the 2005-present series as we explore the domestic life of a companion. Also like the 2005 series, your typical WHO quarry is given a more 'alien' feel using CGI (Although primitive). Heck, the woman at the end is almost exactly like Jackie, even...
As for the acting, McCoy and Aldred still overact at times ("IF WE FIGHT LIKE ANIMALS WE'LL DIE LIKE ANIMALS!!!!)" but McCoy is pretty decent when he's more subdued. Speaking of subdued, Ainley's traditionally cackling master gives a better performance here than in previous appearences. No Delgado or Jacobi but not over-the-top like Simm or his previous appearences.
From what I've read, SURVIVAL was actually not intended to end the season-GHOST LIGHT was, and GL was actually filmed last. (The original order was CURSE OF FENRIC-BATTLEFIELD-SURVIVAL-GHOST LIGHT I believe-hence in FENRIC why the Doctor wears the overcoat, the brown jacket was intended to be a suprise reveal). However I think they decided that instead of the Doctor saying 'wicked' as his last word, they'd use the Doctor vs. the Master serial and add the monologue ("There are worlds out there") instead.
As far as the TV series is concerned, we never do find out what became of Ace. Book/audio/comic canon is a bit confused as to her fate, it seems, as by the time we see McCoy again in the TV movie she's nowhere in sight.
