Dr. Who

[sobrique]

Bastards.
Complete utter bastards.
Can we go kill this guy?

I mean. THEY HAD A BRILLIANT SETUP and dropped a WANKY deus-ex resolution on it.

I mean, really.

WANKERS.

I could think of about 3 alternatives, which would have made a _GOOD_ ending to a Dr. Who episode. But that just ... smelled.

THey foreshadowed it. They came up with a reason for the stuff.
They even tied the tardis into it. That HAD POTENTIAL.

But NO.


Gaaah.

OK, so I almost forgave 'em for the Face of Bo. But only almost.

GAAAH.

So, I'd invite you all, to present your alternative 'not so wank' endings, so we can pretend that one didn't happen.

I was thinking, that actually that co-ordinated 'stunt' earlier was the right general line. Have the sattelites go pop as the resistance 'does something cool' (UNIT weapon perhaps?) at which point there's a bit of an uprising on the uprising on the ship, which is when they set off the bombs they've been preparing all that long, and the carrier crashes, because the Doctor knows that all that's really necessary is the paradox thingummy dies.

Resistance storm the place, rescue the doctor, and are told that the paradox thing is what has to die. Cue heroic death as they killinate the machine and refold time back as it should have been. Thence onto the actual ending.

If necessary use paradox folding backy thing to blag doctor getting his mojo back (easy enough to do if you're turning back time anyway)

Simpler than that. "So, you've got all these sattelites connecting all thos Human minds then. And these spinning orbs of death are in fact Human, not only that, but ones that have been reverted to children, therefore lacking willpower?

Yeah, they're our bitches now."

Could have worked.
Also the 'master controls human race' connection being reversed, IMO would also have worked fairly well.

*shrug*.
