If Jack IS the face of Boe, then how did his head get to be six feet across and stuck in a jar?

Plastic surgery?

It's very Jack

It also explains why he likes Cat Nun Nurses so much.

Master: "Wil the drums stop?"

BEAT

Doctor: "No... no, they won't. Sorry."

Master: "Noooooooooooooo......!"

Still a bit angry about the 'badness' of the episode

But I've noticed we no longer need to be spoiler-free...

OK, first of all, John Simm was excellent as the Master; when he did his 'evil routine', he was very threatening. But why did they have to kill him off? Derek Jacobi was gone too soon too...

But Timelords have two hearts, so yes, a single bullet will kill him.

And for me this all felt more 'deus ex machina' than the first season...

And they can't go to London because there are 'wild dogs on the street' but hey, let's go all outside and think 'Doctor'; no dogs will be about.

And let's make time all flow back again so that almost everyone forgets about this all

Jack being the Face of Boe... It felt so 'tacked on'... Why couldn't they just keep the Boe-storyline going on for another season? It didn't need to be resolved in this 'final episode'...

Did the Master's ring have the same symbols as 'the Watch'?

Well, I'm off to see Jekyll...

@CarlBillen

Actually, I thought it would've been interesting to see the Master use the ageing device on Jack and watch the Doctors reaction as he realised he was the face of Boe

But...oh well...

His head obviously had to grow to accommodate for the extra neurons in his brain which are generated by the memories he gained over thousands of centuries. And the rest of his body obviously withered and died. It's some clever genetic manipulation.

Realistically what are the odds of us actually getting Sally Sparrow?

Because I'd fucking love it, I would.

Similar to what happened to Cassandra, the last human.

I did go "What?! WHAT?!" at the last few bits though.

Now I'm actually looking forward to Christmas.

So, so far this series we've had the best opening episode, the best final episode, the best looking assistant and arguably the two best episodes of the recent series so far. In fact, the only time this series dipped below "pretty damn decent" was the wretchedly awful Dalek episodes.

Fantastic stuff and I can't wait to find out what happens next series. Honestly, the last time I managed to get this excited about a tv programme was probably The Mysterious Cities of Gold. RTD for a knighthood, quick-sharp!

Oh, and to all BBC (CC'd to the Channel 4 ones, too) continuity announcers: it's the "final episode", not "series finale". This isn't HBO.

Yeah, I'd keep an eye on his wife. I wouldn't be so sure that The Master had a few prototype bits of kit around for genetic manipulation and cloning, which she probably has in the basement somewhere.
