And once the Doctor is made aware of this by the Ood, all hell breaks loose. As we see, the Master had a contingency plan for the whole situation, but the resurrection is botched, bringing him back in an incomplete state. When we last saw the Master, he was burning to a crisp… yet some art of him survived in a ring that was picked up in an unknown persona. Of course, this special also brings back the Doctor’s greatest enemy: the Master. As it of course turns out, he is more important than we original believed, and he is the new companion for all intents and purposes. Specifically, we begin to focus on Wilfred Mott, a character who had been with us since season two, appearing randomly through out the series. And I can’t tell how comfortable we will be with all said and done.Īs the special begins, we begin to see how things have tied together. Davies wants to change everything beyond that, and this episode clearly shows us just how far he’s going to go before saying goodbye. Apparently Davies isn’t happy with just doing that. It has to set up everything for whatever explosive finale is to come, which will inevitably bring back every Who character from the past four seasons to say goodbye as we welcome both a new executive producer and a new doctor. It is the beginning to the end, to use a terrible adage. If you wish to avoid them, you might want to go watch the episode before reading this. NOTE: Spoilers are discussed in the following review. “He will knock four times.” The end of time is upon us. In addition to Davies leaving, so does Tennant, and this means the Doctor has to die. As years went by, it was David Tennant who really stepped into the role, defining the Doctor for a generation in a way that hadn’t been done since Tom Baker or William Hartnell. Davies who, in 2005, brought the show back in full force with Christopher Eccleston as the titular character. And this year in particular is very special, as it marks the end to an amazing reign on Doctor Who by Russel T. It’s that time of year again! Another Christmas, another Who special! For those of us who don’t celebrate this particular holiday, I think it’s fair to say that we have not much else to look forward to! Heck, even those that DO celebrate the holiday can always look forward to some new Who.
