Comments on: A Noble Ending? http://archive.sharpesopinion.co.uk/2008/07/a-noble-ending/ The Weblog of Stuart Sharpe Sat, 02 Jan 2010 00:29:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Stu http://archive.sharpesopinion.co.uk/2008/07/a-noble-ending/#comment-114 Stu Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:17:44 +0000 http://sic.phantom-rouge.co.uk/?p=90#comment-114 I agree that the spirit in which all three question marks were entered was not satisfied - Donna had not been a Time Lord all her life, nor did she physically cease to be alive. Dalek Caan becoming a Jedi was, of course, a joke originally - but it's actually a lot closer to what happened in the episode than I expected it to be, and I wanted to make that point. It surely deserves a question mark, or at least a half hearted moment of approval. More accurate than 'The Master Kills Davros' or 'Rose Tyler Sorts Out Her Speech Impedement', at least...

More accurate than ‘The Master Kills Davros’ or ‘Rose Tyler Sorts Out Her Speech Impedement’, at least…

A stonking finale. Moffat must be muttering "Gee, thanks Russell". I don't think anyone could have got all the elements in that episode. I question your question marks, though. Donna didn't die, she was always at least half-human so didn't qualify as a fully signed up Time Lord, and I'm not even going to comment on Dalek Caan joining the Jedi. 8) David Tennant commented on the debate that would ensue on whether this was one of the 12 regenerations. I saw it as more of a regrowth but the writers will have to address the issue soon in any case. I'll be watching the re-run when it comes on! Brilliant, bloody brilliant series. A stonking finale.
