Afro Droid Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 The Doctor, The Master, Cpt Jack's hand in a jar, the watch. Perfect. Just awesome."We're the only two left, you have to let me in." Genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam the Eagle Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 i think i can safely say that utopia is the best episode of who since genesis of the daleks.it was absolutley amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan' Sharuminar Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Watching it again, I can honestly say the final 15 minutes was by far among the finest things I have ever seen on British television. It's not an excuse for how average series three has been so far, but Utopia has certainly brought together some of the themes shown so far (Face of Boe, the watch, time being a wibbly wobbly thingy etc) in the series.I am very much looking forward to the next two episodes, and I rarely care for a television series in such a way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Agreed htat the ending was great in how it set up the last two episodes. Overall theough I thought it was one of the weaker episodes, definitely a come down from Blink which was awesome and the two parter before it.

Paranoid Android Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 John Simm was awesome as the Master. Looking forward to the last episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 i think this series has certainly picked up since introducing john simm as the master and the return of captain jack. cant believe the series is nearly at an end already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan' Sharuminar Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Adore John Simm as the Master It was a good episode, though it had a lot to live up to after Utopia's final act, as well as suffering from the fact it's an episode designed to set up the finale. Was great to see Gallifrey at last though, and to find out we have a Captain Scarlet-esque Cloudbase now. Can't wait for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Such a shame it ended so badly, terrible last episode, the whole Dr getting his power back was Bad Wolf all over again, sad to see Martha going and the Master wouldnt want to die like that for a second, he'd just agree to travel with the Dr in the Tardis then do a runner, Delgado and Ainley must be spinning in their graves. They need to let Moffat loose on a finale to see how it could be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 it had some thrilling moments but was largely a disappointment - too much sentimental mush thrown in the mix once more - i'm now at the point of being beyond fed up how the docs female assistant is hopelessly in love with him. its just so cringeworthy.but credit to john simm for portraying the master in that same villanous pantomime baddie mode as done so well in the past by anthony ainsley and roger delgado.have been largely disappointed with series have to admit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyRATM Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I thought the series started pretty shit but was getting better.Then that finale...all i can say is that it was fucking gash.The last episode set up was awesome, then the final just failed horribly.

Kan' Sharuminar Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 The problem I see with the finale was that it was so Martha-centred, in an episode where she was leaving. Had she been kept for the next series, it would have been fantastic to see her achieve what she did, then go onto the fourth series knowing she was the Doctor's equal, and could have provided a pretty worthwhile companion without the angst we have seen so far.As it is, the entire episode should have revolved around the Master and the Doctor and their confrontation, not the companion who was leaving anyway.My other problem was was with the Master's death - he gave up control to the Doctor because he wouldn't ever want to die, but refused to regenerate because he would be trapped as the Doctor's prisoner? He's a bloody time-lord, he would have the patience to realise that he could have the time to work out an escape.That said, the revelation about Jack came out of nowhere, and I loved it. The finale was excellent, despite the reset-button ending - I was glad we didn't see the Doctor become deus-ex machina as Rose was in the finale of the first series. All in all, it was a decent ending, but it could have been so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we've seen the last of the Master.And the hand that picked up the ring? The Rani apparently.Also Jack's Face of Boe comment... now I didnt expect that.

So does that mean that jack became/becomes the face of boe..in the future...but he can't die... so confusing...I'm gonna have to watch torchwood once its back on now.

Chris Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 torchwood wasn't inept, just naive and a tad misguided in places.Much of the ineptness wasn't on the writing/production side, more the fact that as an elite team of "special forces" they caused more problems than they solved. Hell they all broke essential rules at least once to set up that week's monster fuck-up, it was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugitive Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 The lass from 'Blink' as the next companion?Oh I hope so.I thought the last episode was crap.My 9 year old daughter thought it was great.... because Martha left ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
