\"\"<\/a>The final episode of season 4 of Doctor Who<\/em> has finally aired.\u00a0 I’m feeling kind of ambivalent about it.\u00a0 I have truly grown weary of the Daleks return, but Dalek Caan was fun to watch in his madness.\u00a0 And Russell T. Davies’ speculation that Davros may have escaped doesn’t make her feel good.\u00a0 I’m sick to death of Rose, and hope and PRAY that is will be last time we see her.\u00a0 EVER!\u00a0 It was a bit of a cop out to give her her own Doctor to play with.\u00a0 At least they still kept the Real Doctor from saying those accursed three words.<\/p>\n

Donna was brilliant.\u00a0 Even before she got zapped with the Doctor’s brain.\u00a0 I really liked her as the Doctor’s companion.\u00a0 She never held back.\u00a0 She never fawned over him.\u00a0 They truly stood as equals.\u00a0 And then she became the Doctor’s intellectual equal.\u00a0 That’s when she truly shined.\u00a0 She and both Doctors spouting out the technobabble was fantastic!<\/p>\n

The lowest point of this episode was when Davros tried to make the Doctor out as a creator of death machines, just like him.\u00a0 That when the Doctor took a companion in, they would become the destroyer of worlds, just like Davros.\u00a0 But that is so not true.\u00a0 Not even in the context of the episode.\u00a0 That whole scene felt forced and so very wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The highest point was with the slight ridiculous, but great scene of all the companions from the last 4 series’ working together to pilot the TARDIS to tow the Earth back.\u00a0 It was just really heartwarming to see them all together, smiling, truly enjoying themselves.\u00a0 It was just great.\u00a0 We really need a muliti-companion TARDIS crew again.\u00a0 Please Steven Moffat!\u00a0 For series 5!!<\/p>\n

Now, why can’t we have a companion that doesn’t fall in love with the Doctor that will go for more than one season?\u00a0 The death that Dalek Caan kept going on about wasn’t a physical death, but a psychological one.\u00a0 Another cop out if you ask me.\u00a0 She has to lose all her memories of the Doctor so she can live, but what kind of life can she have if she can’t know how brilliant she was?<\/p>\n

It was a sad ending to an overall great series.\u00a0 I can only hope we’ll get another companion like Donna, that won’t go all sappy on us.\u00a0 I had an idea for a fanfic for the scene with the Doctor at the console after leaving Donna.\u00a0 Maybe someday I’ll write it.\u00a0 She’ll be missed, despite all the nay-sayers.<\/p>\n

Over all, this series has been the best so far.\u00a0 Check it out on Sci-Fi Channel, BBC America, DVD or your bittorent client.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
