The End Of The World

Yay blue body makeup in the year 5,000,002,005!

Lady Cassandra is probably the single-most strangest looking thing I've ever seen on TV SF ever. Ever ever ever. The point that she's supposed to be the "Last Human Being" makes it even wackier.

Loved the old Wurlitzer jukebox being rolled out, and Lady Cassandra calling it an "iPod"! Also loved the first song we hear in it ("Tainted Love" by Soft Cell) but for Christ's sake, did we really need "Toxic" by Britney Spears as the music leading into the sun roasting the Earth??

Jabe was a fascinating character, and it's a damn shame she had to die in this. Her reaction when receiving the Doctor's gift in the exchange was almost sheer arousal. She would've been fun to see more of, but, so it goes...

What was the point of the Moxx of Balhoon, or that giant head in a bottle??

The end of the episode...oh yes, I've seen some of TEH WANK~! about it, people bitching up a storm about how now we need to go read the novels, and now it's become about Faction Paradox, and this that and the other.

First off let me tell you all: you are absolutely positively way off. Trust me on this one.

Second: even if you weren't, so what? Keeping in mind, this show is done for new viewers, and the new audience. Not you. The new audience (sadly) doesn't give a frag about the books, or the audios, or anything else. The new audience knows just as much as Rose Tyler about the Doctor and what he's all about. And that's as it should be.

In other words, you're wrong, chill out, shut up, and wait for "The Unquiet Dead" next week.
