To anyone who cares about the End of Time...

[seriousfic]

By which I mean the Doctor Who special, so

1. The Doctor mentions that someone has advanced the Oods' civilization so it goes space-age in only a century. Who, and for what purpose?

2. The Woman in White. Who is she? More importantly, if she's a Time Lord in the Time Lock, how is she able to leave it to talk to Wilf, and again, to what purpose?

3. How did Ten survive jumping out of a spaceship and dropping through a skylight, with the only apparent effect being that he got winded?

4. Really, a dying Ten helps Jack get laid? Really? Really? I mean, REALLY?

Yeah, I don't even know with this one. Poor David Tennant, he was really trying to inject some pathos into that death scene, but even he's hard pressed to maintain any kind of intensity over that period of time. It was like the never-ending epilogue of the LoTR. As for Donna, I don't have the energy to be bitter. Goodbye and good riddance, RTD.

Yeah, this sucked even by RTD-finale standards, which are already pretty low, but at least he explains his own MacGuffins in the plot by the time he finishes his other finales.

Oh, I loved the two episodes, I nearly cryed in the end, but I guess I wasn't alone there.

However:

1.) Clearly open to interpretation. Someone wanted the Ood to be advanced enough to set things in motion ... "The Women" seemed to be eager to do se same, hmmm ...

2.) Well, Julie Gardner said, she was the Docotor's mother (remember when the Doctor's theme was played when he saw her?). However, she hasn't been identified as such on-screen ... And you really want an explanation why she could reach out to Wilf? In my point of view, he was important for the events (the Doctor realized the same in Part 1), something special, and maybe that's why a "Time Lady" was able to get through to him ...

3.) Yes, this was very much over-the-top, I thought so myself ;-)

4.) He didn't help him get laid in the first place (in my interpretation), he wanted to cheer him up - Jack seemed very depressed :-) But even if he just wanted him (and Alonso, yay!!) to have a good time: How cool is that? :-)

Keep up the good work in 2010! I'm a big fan and love your writing!
