Dr. Who-The Last Timelord

This episode was very good. The way it was written, it does two things. First, it ends the season leaving Dr. Who once again by himself and secondly, it introduces Torchwood which is supposed to dovetail onto Dr. Who and keep the presence of British Sci Fi on the BBC.

In this episode the master is in full control of the world and his plan is to launch an attack. He turned the earth into an armed camp with two hundred thousand missiles containing individual black holes. Obviously they would be devastating to any planet if they hit. According to the episode of Dr. Who we know that the universe has many races on thousands of planets all over the galaxy. The master decides that he can wage war and catch them by surprise and rule the universe. That was his plan. However, one thing he had not counted on was that Dr. Who, even though he aged him to be approximately nine hundred years old, had told his companion, Martha to travel the world to find a weapon that could kill a timelord that could have been put in different spots and spread throughout the world, because it was suppose to be such a dangerous weapon. But what she was really doing was informing the earth’s population that at a certain point when the arch angel network was on, (which is a series of satellites that beams the whole world and unites the whole world with a psychic signal that makes the earth’s population easy to manipulate by the master) to think about the doctor. It also has a flaw which is that if all the earth concentrates on the same thing at the same time the psychic energy gets rebroadcast back through the satellites and back to the original source of the signal which is the base where the master has made his headquarters.

About the time that the master was about to put his plan into effect and launch the missiles, all of the people all over the world concentrated on the doctor, then their psychic energy was redirected back to the master’s headquarters. Dr. Who managed to regenerate himself, made himself young again and freed himself. Then he got his powers back and out smarted the master. At this point the master collapsed and Dr. Who told him he was going to imprison him for the rest of his life. He was not going to kill him but that he was going to keep him in the Tardis but keep him imprisoned.

That would have been the end of the episode except that the companion of the master who he had trusted implicitly shot him. When she shot him, normally it would not have killed him but he decided not to regenerate because he realized that was the one thing that he could do that Dr. Who could not control and it was his one way of finally having the last laugh on Dr. Who.

It kind of surprised me because I thought that they would keep him. The master had the makings of being a good villain that they could use from episode to episode. Then bring him back, but who knows, they might still do that. However, in this episode he does die. Once he dies, time reverses itself because there was a paradox in effect. The way the master took over the earth, he had these billions of small entities (they look like floating globes) but they had weapons and they carried out his every will.

What people of the earth didn’t know that inside of the globes were human beings that had been incredibly morphed until they were literally just a head which was just enough to control the globes. But here’s the thing. Those people inside of those globes were actually people of the future earth. In other words they were the last generation of humanity that was on earth just before it would be destroyed. The paradox is that if future people came back to the past and killed off a significant number of humans then how could they exist. Well, the way they got around this problem was that the time paradox was that the master had rewired the Tardis so that it became a paradox machine and held it in check. Once the master was killed and the paradox machine was destroyed by Captain Jack, time reasserted itself and things returned to normal. Most people had no knowledge of an entire year under the master’s rule. That’s how it ended.

The interesting thing about this episode was that they introduced Torchwood by introducing the main character which is Captain Jack. Captain Jack also played an important role in this last episode. This was a good way to launch to Torchwood from Dr. Who. I think they did a great job on it.

Well, you guys take it easy. I’m going down stairs to get something to eat and then curl up on my favorite mat for a long nap. Don't worry I'll be back.

Dr. Who-Sound of Drums

Dr. who is still ongoing. They had the first part of a real cliff hanger this past week. Dr. Who discovered that he is not alone. It’s kind of a take off from Star Wars. He found out that there is another timelord who calls himself the master. He’s kind of in sane, and a little paranoid. The Master manages to get a hold of the Tardis and by having that power source he was able to open up a riff in time and bring these strange beings to earth. There was six billion of them. One for every woman, man, and child on earth. What the Master told the beings to do was kill one tenth of the earth’s population, which they did.

The master disabled Dr. Who by using a biotransducer which aged Dr. Who by one hundred years. When he did this, Dr. Who was helpless to stop him so the way things are left, the master is in control and Dr. Who is one hundred years old. Things look pretty bad for earth because the timelord does not really care about the people, he just want to control them. But we will see how all of this works out.

I’m kind of anxious to see what’s going to happen. After all I’m a cat and I have nothing else to do except watch TV, eat and sleep.

Until next week, bye.
