's why I think the Ood worked so well-- they were self-contained to the Nu-Who, even if they maybe possibly connected in an incidental way to previous stories.
I liked aspects of the finale. I think all the talk of the companions-as-soldiers was a bit of a confusion, a distortion on Davros's part (and Donna's, earlier); the Children of Time strike me more as being remade by their experiences into human Doctors, replicating aspects (both good and bad) of the Doctor. Sure, Martha may be more military now, but the Doctor worked with UNIT back in the day too, so it doesn't really seem out of line with it.
And Donna-the-Companion as the companion who dies metaphorically was pretty tragic. It's very counter-intuitive, having a character develop and then taking it all away, which makes it more effective to me.
Davros himself was silly, but I suppose that was the point. The old Who foes are the worse for wear, broken down by the Timewar... |
