I agree, the finale was a bit on the lame side. The season in general wasn't that good, though, with a couple of exceptions. And from loving Rose last year, by the end of this I was happy to see her go!

Agreed--why couldn't she have stayed possesed by Cassandra, or even have Cass' back skin travel around in the Tardis?

I think the Rose character was overused way too much - she should have left halfway thru the season.



The other thing I didnt like was the hint of romance between the two.  Call me old fashioned, but I like my Dr Who stories to be sci fi stories - not ones that are like something from Mills and Boon!!!!!



That's one of the things I hated about the telemovie-  the scenes where the Dr kissed Grace - all wrong!!

Yeah!



There's just too much "Neighbours" going on in the TARDIS.



Dr Who is going teenage soap opera!

Anyone remember a Star Trek episode where Kirk is `cloned` by a mad (but rather clever) scientist ?

As he is placed on the spinning table that allows the clay-form to absorb his thoughts, he instills to the forefront of his mind an incongruous character trait; specifically, being racially and irrationally (aren`t they the same things ) abusive to his trusted first officer and best friend. This is manifested by the clone without any realisation by the duplicate Kirk.

(I`m sure some one out there remembers the name of this episode )!

The Point being,.... as Yvonne Hartman is being led to be upgraded, the thought uppermost in her misguided, traumatised mind is, that she was only doing her duty,.....  This thought of duty pervades and supercedes any cyber-progaming and manifests itself in her sense of duty to attack the percieved enemy.

But then again, she also made it obvious that anything extra terrestrial was the enemy. Perhaps this deep seated antipathy is enough to prompt her actions.

  As for the Cyberman/Dalek battle,....yes, a little disappointing but, then again,....

How many WWII films have you seen that would have benefitted from a documentary style overview of the battle than to involve the human element ?

I`d guess you would be hard pressed to find one, and that would have to be excellently done. After all, the whole tragedy of warfare is the effect on people.

As for human technology causing a slight problem for the Daleks,....  it wasn`t human technology.

Human technology was the soldiers with rifles.

What Mickey had (and didn`t destroy any Dalek) was either alien technology or human enhanced alien technology.

  Finally;

    Obviously, when the Dalek initiates its` emergency temporal shift, that is paving the way for further Dalek stories. I may be a novice but, what is Dr Who without Daleks or Cybermen ?



  I`d expect to see both in Torchwood otherwise we are being shortchanged.!
