My Life is Now Complete!

[Thalia]

Poor poor Jack. He gets stuck with that insufferable torchwood team then turns into an ugly big head

I was liking the martha travelling the world thing, though it did occur to me too that it seemed rather odd the doctor would send her on a mission to kill the master - woo, i'm smarter than the crazy evildoer!

I would like martha to return, but only if she gets over this being in love with the doctor thing, it's getting old.

According to BBC3, Martha will return. She's taking a few episodes off at the beginning of the next series so they can bring in a new companion (ooooh!) and then she's coming back- so he'll have two companions next series. Interesting!


As for the finale- I really enjoyed it!!! Did anyone see any similarities between the glowing doctor and glowing rose from the end of the 9th doctor series?

Um...Jack= f.o.b. i thought to be raaaather cool

and I may be the only person but I really liked the whole "think of the doctor at the same time" thing. I thought it was pretty clever and it made me all emotional.

But then again, so did the "I do believe in fairies" bit of Peter Pan.

[Thalia]

Oooh, i wonder if he'll get a male companion I know he's had jack and mickey but neither of those have really seemed like proper companions, it would be nice to have someone who doesn't love the doctor

That was an inspired twist! I loved it. Just hope they actually intend to confirm that and not just say, well, actually they were two different people just with similar names

Yes, I still liked it and it was very nice and upbeat, just funny

And I didn't see the weapon being a fake bit coming (though I should have done), but when they left that dr. woman I said she's either going to die or turn them in.

Eh. I am somewhat indifferent, mostly because I do so love Martha quite a lot.

Loved Jack being the Face of Boe, I have to admit! Why was he so desperate to get back to Torchwood? Is it because of Ianto and his stopwatch? Does he hope, as I do, that Owen may have frozen to death in a Himalayas? Did Torchwood bring back a yeti or an equally cool pet? (I miss the pterodactyl.)

Axons, though! Great nod to us nerdy sorts.

The episode, though... I think my expectations were so high. And because I've spent the last two miserable weeks working in a nursing home, all I kept on thinking was about how good the Master was with a wheelchair.

He was desperate to get back to torchwood because he realised that he left them in charge of the fate of the world and it was a bad plan. I mean - where were they in that year - stuck in the mountains? Maybe owen got zapped by the toclafane

Well, Doctor Who is getting a new companion, but Martha will come back for the latter half of the series. And Martha's going to be in three episodes of Torchwood. Hopefully the Torchwood writers will make good use of her, at least!

Alas Torchwood are back in one piece, because the Doctor has infinite mercy.

Stupid Doctor.

Anyway, Jack is the Face of Boe apparently, but let's look at the evidence:
Jack is immortal - check.
Has Boe history - check.
Is big face in jar - nope.
Knows more than four words - nope.

Which leads me to conclude the Face of Boe is some weird hybrid of Jack and Owen - Owen only knows four words ('come,' 'rape,' 'don't' and 'Jesuit') and is essentially just a big head with a weird mouth (This is slightly unfair on the actor, who is very very good, but meh).

An immortal rapist - just what the universe needs :S
But, yes, the Face does have a strange resemblance to Owen

I pity Martha and her side trip into Torchwood. I doubt it will cure her of that annoying yearning for the doctor though - if anything, it will probably increase it. Do you think she has strength enough of character to cope?

[Thalia]

Maybe her trip to Torchwood will turn her into a lesbian

I'm willing to guarantee there will be at least one girl/girl kiss involving Martha while she's there

I'm confused. If you can guarantee such things does that not make you Chris Chibnall?

Maybe she'll, say, beat Owen into a bloody pulp? That would be good.

The finale just...wasn't very good. They managed to make Martha as uninteresting as possible. I mean: the whole of Season 4 could've been set in that year, with Martha's 'stories' constituting a normal episode.

The Utopia bit is also unfinished. Who was sending out the "Come to Utopia!" message?

Well, whilst I generally disliked the finale, I thought it was good in principle. For example, we've seen the Master become a wife-beating*, racist**, homophobic**, sexist***, speciesist*** maniac, not just an 'I want to rule the world' maniac.

Quite evil!

* Lucy had a very visible bruise on her face at one point.
** "Ah, here comes the girly and the freak. But I can't tell which is which"
*** "Killed by an insect, a girl. How inappropriate!"

Bets on is that the Master has now posessed Lucy and she'll be back in the next series. Perhaps in Torchwood for the aforementioned girl/girl Martha action?

Well, apparently, there'll be no naughty bits for Freema, because she's still a Doctor Who character:

Looks like they may have tried something though... "we sat there with a script and were literally taking swear words out of Martha's lines." - I wonder what else they had to remove? :P
