And so, we've made it to the end of my mega Sixth Doctor listen. I can't believe it's all over. Really, this story is one out of four parts which involved the Valeyard's scheme taking place throughout the Sixth Doctor's life. Now we're here with Mel, who gets rather little to do unfortunately. The Valeyard suddenly replaces the Doctor who is sent to be deleted by the Matrix and is saved by Genesta, who is a pretty naive young Time Lord. I found it a bit surprising to spend so much time focusing on their relationship, and then it's never even confirmed if she was real or not. The Valeyard's plot is using their bacterium creatures to infect the TARDIS and from then the Matrix where he can replace every Time Lord throughout history. Really, only the Valeyard could be the villain for the Sixth Doctor's final story.

The star of the show is Colin Baker who turns in a great performance. He is constantly put on his heels, frequently unsure of whether or not he's even going to get to survive. In the end, the Doctor dies in a moment of self-sacrifice where he redirects the TARDIS to be hit by deadly radiation to kill himself to regenerate/die and foil the Valeyard's plan. Baker gives a great performance as he summons all his courage, and has a touching final scene accented by a perfect cameo from Sylvester McCoy.

All in all, it's a worthy final story for the Sixth Doctor that sends him out well while not contradicting what little we saw on tv. Long live Colin Baker!
