RTD's comment on Jack from Dr Who Confidential was "We had a war coming, so we needed a warrior.."

Surely Jack's a lover, not a fighter?

I think Jack's happy any which way.

Another 10/10 here, I like that sort of episode

GF liked it too.

Late, as always, I've just got round to watching the last episode. I quite liked it, probably RTD's finest script to date, not that that's saying much. A bit random in places. I can't work out whether it was Peter Kay making the monster shit or the monster making Peter Kay shit. Either way, it was shit. Was the monster licking himself a reference to DT licking himself in Harry Potter?

The other characters held up well though, more interesting than the mega-Sue that Rose has become.

And I discovered a potential new villain design on the same page:

Ahh if it's something to do with a "send in your Dr Who stories" to Blue Peter competition type bollox I can see why it's split the OG posters and 'Who fans down the middle.

Awful childish idea really....which RTD did his best to make a Dr Who episode out of. It sort of works, but then again it seams annoying at the root because it's not really about the doctor. I agree with people who say it isn't really a Dr Who episode in a way because it isn't really about him. Flawed concept, if it was some kind of spin-off then fine but not as an episode in a limited series. AS a bit of TV to watch of a Saturday evening it was ok, as an episode of Dr Who.....I can see why it has such a love/hate reaction. At the end of the day I won't remember it in a few months time, except maybe that the squeeling brat from "2 pints of larger.." was in it

but im ultimately I'm happy with it simply because.......

THANK FUCK HE WASN'T THE MASTER!!!!!!!

What's wrong with The Master? I still live in hope that Bill Bailey could turn up as The Master at some point. I'd laugh so hard I'd proabably shit.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one terrified that would turn out to be the case when he first appeared!

I guess we'll never see The Master, tho, as it's been stated over and over again the The Doctor is the last Timelord

I suppose that means no Rani, either...not that's necessarily a bad thing.

You know, I'd forgotten about that as a reason for not bringing the Master back.

But I'm sure they'd find a way if they really wanted to.

Yeah, they could say he's the second-last Timelord?

Ah....there's nothing gets fan boys' backs up more than writers who contradict their own material
