Great Moments In My Netflix Subscriptions
Last part of the Key of Time series. It was a six parter, but should have been four. The beginning was pretty good, as was the ending, but there was at least an hour of pointless wandering around in caverns/hallways.
Interesting points:
- The initial setting is a planet in the middle of a war started and continued with false intelligence by a stubborn leader with ulterior motives. The name of this planet is Atrios. Coincidence? Perhaps so, if you buy this theory.
- The Doctor encounters another Time Lord that he knew 450 years ago in school ("Class of 92") named Drax. Drax calls the Doctor by what I assume is his real name and refers to him getting his doctorate. Huh.
- I saw the ending of the series coming from the very first moment of the first episode. And they barely resolved it, with the Black Guardian merely left behind, not defeated. And why didn't they try to find the real White Guardian to turn over the Key?
This part was headed for a 5 star rating but it dragged on so long I ended up giving it 4. For the Key to Time series overall I also give a 4.
I also watched a 2005 two-parter that my friend shared. It was the one set in the Blitz with the mutated child looking for his mummy. Vcreepy and well-done. I still think the 2005 Doctor is a little too prone to spittle-emitting rants and tortured self-doubt, though. And Rose wears too much eye makeup. My sister wears too much. People think she's a whore.
The next Great Moment will be unrelated to Doctor Who.
