The Last of the Time Lords

First, I probably should have waited until I was in a better mood until I watched this. But I didn't. However, I still loved the episode. I've seen quite a few reviews from folks who hated it. I think one of the things is that RTD is an OTT kinda guy no matter what. I expect that sort of thing from him. I thought it kicked all sorts of ass.

Second, before I get on to actual episode stuff...clearly Lucy = Drusilla. I mean the scene when she first comes walking in in that red dress was full on Dru.

Okay, now on to the episode. I loved the action in this episode, but it broke my heart too (seriously still sniffling here). I mean, they give us kick-ass Martha through the whole thing and then she has the courage to do the thing that Rose never could. Make the choice to live for herself and not The Doctor. I know that she'll most likely be back next season, but there is a deep part of me that hopes she'll have hooked up with Hotty McPediatrician by then and moved on with her life. I think it would be a wonderful transition and balance to the Doctor.

One of my guesses on the Toclafane was that they were the humans (I'd seen other folks speculate this as well). It falls into place with the whole thing about breaking the Doctor's hearts.

And the Master. OMG. David Tennant just rocked in the scene while he was holding the Master while he was dying. I just...wow. Total canon pairing with that one. I expect to see many AUs where the Master agrees to go off with the Doctor in the Tardis.

Okay, the thing about Jack being The Face of Boe. Someone had posted a speculation about this on one of the comms last week. Several folks called possibly crackiness. Just goes to show that fandom's crack is RTD's canon. The thing is, the way it was a throw-away line, it could easily turn out to be a coincidence or somehow not really related. Then again...I'm going to have to go back and watch the Boe eps again now to see what got retconned and what fits with this.

Anyhoo, I'll be viewing again later when I'm hopefully in a better mood. Then I'll start the countdown until Christmas.

Oooo...before I forget! So if The Doctor=Tinkerbell, does that make Jack Peter Pan?
