To me, the End of Time is my least favorite regeneration story for several reasons. Is it as great as everyone says? Well, let’s take a look at it. Hello again! I’ve returned to New Who to take a look at the swansong of the Tenth Doctor, “The End of Time”. So let it all go: the guilt, the pride, the fear, the control. Time for new good things to come to pass. They didn’t die because of you- rather they lived because of you. Following your example they found in themselves the courage, the spirit of adventure, and above all the desire to put themselves on the line in order to help others. You showed them your life showed them your world and in so doing, you inspired them. I know you think your actions doomed those you love, but the truth is, they were more complete people because of you. No one can be friends with everyone, and the experiences they had in meeting you will still mean something long after you’ve moved on. So many people in fact that you had to turn a few away. Your awesomeness radiates from you like a beacon, and people just want to be a part of that. You changed lives, and even saved some.Įach time you appeared people were drawn to you immediately because of who you are. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t do more. It doesn’t matter how many birthdays you had. But death is a natural part of all things. I know as a Time Lord you are unaccustomed to thinking of yourself as mortal. The result is much more interesting for The Master, who is more of a wildcard The Doctor we know typically chooses the path involving less fighting and more cooperating. The payoff sees The Master collaborating with The Doctor at last, which hasn’t happened previously in New Who. Then there’s the Doc, fighting with himself over whether to kill and which person’s death will save the rest of the world. It just eats him up when Rassilon shows power over him by reversing his Master Race. The Master knows he’s the smartest person in his world, and solely responsible for his new success. It is so interesting to see the interplay of pride, power, and passion in The Master, Rassilon, and The Doctor. But I must admit I’m much more mesmerized by The Master as he alternately celebrates, schemes, and agonizes. Perhaps it’s a function of my increased knowledge of Doctor Who and further exposure to older and newer Time Lords? I don’t think it’s a stretch to say this episode showcases The Master (and John Sims) more than it does The Doctor (and David Tennant).īoth are doing what they always do: The Master is trying to take over the world and Doc is coming up with a last-ditch plan to save everyone. I don’t remember it being this good the first time. This also comes with production support from Disney, which could signal some major changes in terms of budget and talent.ĭisney+ will also be the home for all other international audiences, with the BBC remaining the home of new Doctor Who in the UK.Wow!
