Can anyone think of any other reason RTD killed off the Master? Well
at least THIS Master as it's clearly implied that he has somehow
magically survived through that ring.
It seems to be a theme of the big villans with RTD:
Daleks, apparently one left.
Cybermen, the real ones haven't even been seen and he's killed off all
of the other ones.
Master, died from a lame bullet wound and then burnt, I know he's
survived similar but kinda final.
What happened to intellegent plans and solutions!
Hopefully George Lucas wasn't watching because that scene screamed
Return of the Jedi to me. As far as intelligent plans and solutions
go, this seemed like one that was just put together in 10 minutes by a
5 year old
My point exactly, it could have been done so much better, if it's set
in an alternate universe, which it must be, why can't we have the
devistation being perminent and the world changed forever. They could
have stopped the Master and left the world the way it was and let the
humans rebuild, far better than another magically undone ending!
Because it's not worth it to ruin the entire series for one good
ending.
For the show to work, the home-base-time that the Doctor keeps coming
back to has to be *our* world -- not exactly the one in which we live,
but one close enough that we can recognize it.
Normap people who watch normal television shows don't approach things
the way crazy scifi fans do. They know that *no* show is set in "our"
universe, but they still refise to accept it if it's not a
recognizably-similar one.
You can not go around catastrophically rewriting the earth and expect
people to stay interested. The ending you describe wouldn't be a bad
ending, but it'd be a *final* one. You could not do any more Doctor
Who after that and expect it to have any kind of success in the main
stream.
