Just finished watchig the final episode to the current season of Doctor Who – the fourth series since the show was resurrected in 2005. Frankly, since rediscovering the show of my childhood years back in 2005, I think the Doctor Who series has been getting better and better. If anything, and perhaps as a sign of the sentimentalities of our times, we get to see a more human-like and at times temperamental Doctor as compared to the brilliant but slightly distant Doctor of the 70’s and 80’s.
The final episode, which is actually part of a 2-episode season finale and aptly titled “The final journey”, in a sense ties up many loose ends. After the hustle and bustle, everyone had someone to return to, or almost anyway. In the end, the parting of ways was almost matter-of-fact, without the emotional attachments we are more used to in previous episodes/years when Doctor’s companions left the show.
