158 The End of the World

Watched 24-May


On Bluray...

This episode sets the new tone for the series to come.

First mentions of the time war and the 'last of the Time Lords'.

There are some bits of this which are epic. Other bits are factually strange. Others are mystifying and perplexing... and surprising.

The spacey future is not perfect. The lives of the servicey drone people is clearly marked out as second class (at least). The 'knobs' (e.g. Cassandra) are awful and get their comeuppance.

I remember saying out loud when this first aired... This is a new, different series. Because it is.

DW has always changed. That's how it stays fresh and interesting.

Keep going.
