Suppose this could be used as a general preview / promotional thread? Above is the latest trailer (not too spoilery); not too much is given away in it - we already know the Master's in it, as are the Ood.

Suppose we get a sense of how the Master comes back in the first place; some cabal of believers are seen activating some kind of mcGuffin, Hellboy style...

"Christmas is cancelled!" *cringe*
Asbo Force Lightening!

Being the RTD Kitchen Sink to end all Kitchen Sinks, I don't have too much hope for this. But I guess only time will tell.

Did anyone else sit up a little when he said "Prepare the (Star)Gate"

Immortality Gate

A little, but it doesn't look like it spins.
Spinning is better than not-spinning, as certain high-ranking generals have pointed out.

story.

Sadly , just like some doctor/master stories ,

they have to work together to bring down a more evil thing

but does it end as we think............

Another clip for ye. I should warn you, it has Russell T Davies "comedy" in it:

More melodrama, this time featuring fewer camp OAPs:

"THERE IS ONLY ... THE MASTER-RACE"

Wilf!

:eek: Didn't see that coming!

I think this is a newish trailer. Was shown yesterday anyway.

I'm loving the return of the drums references and the added restraints on the Master!!

ixoy · 24-12-2009 2:25pm

Well everything I've seen makes me less and less hopeful

It looks like RTD is going for his usual OTT nonsense that he serves up with his weak season finales. Ah well, he's almost gone...

pixelburp · 24-12-2009 2:46pm

Well it is "the End of Time". Man RTD has the subtly of a brick, I suppose the only good thing is that you can't escalate the threat any further at this point

Stark · 25-12-2009 6:08pm

"The end of 11 dimensional spacetime".

Stark · 25-12-2009 7:58pm

Mostly meh but I enjoyed the last few minutes. Can't go wrong with a planet full of John Simms and Timelords

Daemos · 25-12-2009 8:04pm

Wow, I thought that was very good, I have to say.

The human race is gone, replaced by 'The Master-Race', and the Time Lords are returning.

So far anyway, it hasn't been as OTD as I thought it would, so I'm looking forward to New Years day now.

Busi_Girl08 · 25-12-2009 8:04pm

The whole Being John Malkovich thing at the end was very WTF

...

But the last 20 seconds with the

return of the Timelords

was EPIC!!:D:D:D

When's part 2? I missed that.

New Years Day, so you only have to wait a week to see how it finishes

New Year's Day. Around about the same time, I think.

I dunno.. It was all very weird. Hard to know where RTD is going with it tbh. But, I agree, the last 20 seconds were very good and I think next week's should be interesting. I wonder will any other former companions make an appearance? And

how will Donna survive remembering everything? Put her in the Immortality Gate, I suppose?

rossie1977 · 25-12-2009 8:11pm

very meh for me too, huge letdown compared to last series of torchwood

Fysh · 25-12-2009 8:25pm

Meh even by the standard set by the season 3 & 4 conclusions - I spent rather a lot of the episode wondering if it was actually the second part of a story whose first part I hadn't seen.

There might be something interesting in the second part, but thus far it was just more of the RTD staples - ie lots of running and shouting to try and disguise the relative thinness of & lack of coherence in the plot.

The Master · 25-12-2009 8:36pm

RTD promised a full reset for when Moffat takes over.

It appears we are going back to the old-who days of the The Doctor being the "Renegade Timelord" separate and distinct from the rest of the Timelords.

spongeman · 25-12-2009 9:05pm

I thought Jiohn Simm gave a perfect performance, and that it was a great episode, with a stonking ending.

But then again, I d'ont read the always negative WHO forums who are always up their own backsides, and can form my own opinion.

anotherlostie · 25-12-2009 9:22pm

I was bored by it after an opening OK few minutes til the end. I was left wondering how this race would reproduce and then Timothy Dalton appeared and piqued my interest for part 2, which, lets face it, we're all going to watch for that scene anyway.

It would be good if it really as the "end of time" and not just another "It's the end of the world but not really" copout.

I wonder if a full reset would also mean that Matt Smith would be an alternate timeline 9th Doctor as opposed to the 11th Doctor

Though it would suck not getting to see David Tennant regenerating into Matt Smith.

+1

phasers · 25-12-2009 10:17pm

I enjoyed it but it was definitely not as good as Waters of Mars. A bit too much RTD tom foolery for my liking!

I thought it was a good set up episode though, I'm really excited about the next one

Raphael · 25-12-2009 10:38pm

I certainly assumed that by full reset he meant that everything would revert to the status quo canonically, rather than it not ever happening. I'd be pissed if they handwaved the entirity of new-who away as "but none of this actually happened, and this happened instead!"

Doctor DooM · 25-12-2009 10:39pm

Was a bit meh pacing wise with a few nice moments.

I like the way things are just generally really ****ty for the doctor lately and he realises it's because he's not getting human companionship.
