I have created a Doctor Who subforum which is specifically for the discussion of the aforementioned gentleman. This topic (which is too generic) will be locked.

Hopefully this will give the topic some structure and eliminate the need for giant "discuss all" threads, which are so hard to navigate.

Mkay, my predictions as to what the two part finale will entail -

• The Master having a grand scheme that ultimately he loses control of.

• The Big Bad having some relevance to the presence from Midnight, or possibly The Beast from the Ood 2-parter in Series 2 (or even both).

• Gallifrey making a comeback.

• The big bad being Omega (a wild dream, but would be awesome).

• A copout ending with the strongest hint of Deus Ex Machina.

Thoughts?

Agree with all that except your use of the word 'hint'. From my experience of RTD's general standard of writing in the genre, I think you can substitute it with the word 'stench' without any fear of inaccuracy.

There are rumours that Timothy Dalton's character "The Narrator" is Omega, especially since that photo of him dressed up in Omega's robes from "Arc Of Infinity" appeared on the web - I wouldn't be too surprised if that were true

I've been avoiding recent spoilers from the press screening of Part One, I've read SFX's review - it's on their site - but it doesn't give away anything, so it's safe to read

Start new topics as you need them. If the "Off topic" forum starts getting overrun by Doctor Who threads, I'll create a subforum for them.
