Dr. Who

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.

Could have worked actually. But ... I think only really if they'd set it somewhere _other_ than earth. I mean, it's just too good a resource to set Dr. Who episodes on, and if they changed it to have 'master in charge' then ... well, they'd have ot put effort into future scripts to maintain continuity.

Although, a spin off series of 'Master takes over the universe' might be rather cool. Although I'm not quite sure how you'd turn it into an episodic format. I mean, murderize, anhiliate, destroy would perhaps become a bit repetative, unless they dug up some challenge that only the Master could solve, or something.

They had a Paradox Machine, which is all the explanation that would be needed. Time folds back, taking the Doctor and the others to the moment when it all started...

...but not the Master and the Toclafane, who are trapped inside a not-quite-real future that will never happen, caged forever without walls or fences... and perhaps even unaware that they've lost.

Although I've already seen that one done once, to excellent effect, by a certain non-Doctor Who writer. And, y'know, it would be morally untidy...
