Yuck.

I just saw the season finale of Doctor Who.

I have a feeling I'm going to be the only one who doesn't like the episode. In fact, as a writer, it actually made me angry. But my god - the sheer amount of....conveniences.

I'll talk more about it when I know others have seen it.

There were bits I loved, and bits I couldn't stand.

The, erm, thing (speaking vaguely for non-spoilerifficness) with davros showing the doctor his soul, for instance? brilliant. And a lot of the companion moments.

But far, far too much crap. About 30% RTD at his best, 70% at his worst.

The irony is, I wouldn't be so very disappointed if the last preceding two, no, three! episodes, also penned by RTD, hadn't been so damn good. I was just about ready to forgive him for the crap he'd written in the past... and then we get this. :/

I thought that whole "Look at the Monsters You've Created" scene was WONDERFUL. Especially Sarah Jane yelling at Davros, which just SCREAMED "THAT'S our Sarah Jane!"

But everything else...wow...what a cheat.
