[QUOTE="delericho, post: 3605161, member: 22424"] The Master is Prime Minister, aliens have contacted Earth, and things are about to get really, really bad. This episode felt like they'd taken all of my deepest fears (the full power of society levelled against the innocent, subliminal control, powerlessness in general), and put them up on the screen. It was horrible. It was awesome. The good: John Simm is really impressive in the role. The interplay between the Doctor and the Master. The reactions of the characters were always very human. [SPOILER]We learned a lot about how the Master came back, how the Master came to be, how the Time War ended. And we saw a whole lot about Gallifrey.[/SPOILER] [SPOILER]The Master has jelly babies![/SPOILER] Once again, we're left with: and hpw do they get out of [i]this[/i] one? The bad: The escape from the end of the universe felt anti-climactic. I [i]really[/i] hated the Americans as depicted in this episode. [SPOILER]In fact, I cheered when the President was killed. Sorry. Sadly, not a big Doctor Who/Torchwood crossover - the Torchwood team have been sent off on-mission.[/SPOILER] Answered Questions (major spoilers): [SPOILER]The Master was resurrected by the Time Lords to fight in the Time War. They escape from the end of the universe using Jack's broken time gauntlet. Saxon hides by embedding a signal in the mobile phone network. Of course, this leads to the question: could other Time Lords have done the same?[/SPOILER] Unanswered Questions: Why did they mention Utopia, and go through so much in the previous episode, just to drop it? Will they be revisiting this? (I still think Utopia could be Gallifrey.) Who are these aliens? What do they want? And, of course, how do they get out of [i]this[/i] one? [/QUOTE]
