“Martha Jones, you saved the world.”— The DoctorRight then! Here we are at the end of the third season of the new Doctor Who series and what a ride it has been to get here. First the Dalek raged war upon the human race, followed by the Cybermen (and Dalek) also raging war upon the human race. Who else could possibly top that duo of evil and wage war upon the human race again? The Master, that’s who! And who exactly is needed to help put an end to the Master’s reign of terror? A potential doctor: one Martha Jones.One year has passed since the events in the previous episode. The Doctor, Martha’s family and Captain Jack are all still prisoners of the Master on the flying aircraft carrier Valiant. During this time, the Master with the help of his "children," the Toclafane, have conquered and enslaved the Earth. Labor camps have been set up with the purpose of building a fleet of ships and devices capable of decimating the universe in the process of setting ...

"This country has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs medicine. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that what this country really needs right now is... a doctor." — Prime Minister Harold Saxon (aka the Master)Since this episode is the (almost) culmination of all the clues, hints and cause/effects from many previous episodes of this season and prior (also from Torchwood), I decided to resort to a quick summary of the episode and then launch into my patented stream-of-consciousness observations. So here goes....The Doctor, Martha and Captain Jack all escape the Futurekind from last week’s episode, "Utopia," via Jack’s previously defective Vortex Manipulator (The Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver comes in handy, doesn’t it?) and end up in 21st-century England searching for the Master. The TARDIS was reprogrammed by the Doctor before the Master TARDIS-napped it into only being able to travel between the last two destinations, which were 21st-century ...

"Listen! Your life could depend on this: Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast, faster than you could believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away, and don't blink." — The DoctorDuring the first half of this episode, I really had no idea what to make of it. It seemed more like an episode of the X-Files or even Torchwood. In fact, upon further reflection, I seem to recall two episodes from the Doctor Who universe that were similar in the sense that secondary characters were brought to the limelight (over the main cast): Doctor Who Season 2's "Love and Monsters" and Torchwood Season 1's "Random Shoes." Both episodes were some of the best of their respective seasons, and this episode, "Blink," is no different.The concept is that creatures called the Weeping Angels, or Lonely Assassins as they were called in the past, kill you ("kill you nicely" as the Doctor put it) by sending you into the past, where you live out your life and eventually die. In th...
