I love this episode, though it's not perfect.

Martha has to save the Doctor and all of humanity by travelling across the world for a reason she does not disclose until the end. We get to see what the Toclofane really are and it's horrifying.

The Master of course gets defeated and Martha departs the TARDIS (good for her).

My main problems with this episode are generally around the "psychic network" that somehow makes the Doctor de-age and fly. This set of episodes do give it some time but it just feels like an unsatisfying way to win for me. This is true of a lot of episodes where they win because of the Doctor's arbitrary psychic abilities. Maybe if they had done something similar earlier on it wouldnt feel so out of nowhere

New Who Review #41

Last of The Time Lords

This story was good. It wrapped up the 3 parter in a good ish way. The whole gap year thing kinda messes with the time lines and stuff but it is a way to deal with this already complicated story. Martha deciding to leave to care for her family after everything the master put then through was sweet. I don't really have much else to say because I've mentioned everything over the last 2 reviews. Good story but could really do with a bit of work. Episode gets an 8/10 and the overall story gets a 6/10

the doctor and the master's evil fetish year

I will say this is definitely the weakest finale of RTD1 but I don’t hate this as much as everyone else does, maybe because I’m in love with the Jones family.  The conclusion is kinda stupid but it’s fun after the misery of the majority of the story.

Also if you’re in the US please don’t watch the cut down version (45m) on Max, the full version is 55 minutes. I watched the shorter cut for the first time today and it removes so many important and impactful scenes (plus a musical scene that I love)!!
