What an uneven six episodes. This finale wrapped up the threat to our universe, but I couldn't quite say how. Time itself, sternly telling the Doctor she would run out of time and have no more regenerations (it sounded imminent, but nah, couldn't be, right?).
Time poofed the Swarm and Azure, who were boring except for their teeth and makeup, which were fascinating. The threat they promised, just gone.
The Doctor got her Time Lord memory device, but tossed it deep into the workings of the Tardis without looking at it. She has been ignoring almost everything that has gone on in these episodes to find out exactly what was on the device, then she tosses it.
The grand reveal of Bel and Vinder never occurred. They were simply lost lovers. Putting that plot in when there are a mere six episodes to finish the series, that was just not a good use of time.
What was the deal with the Grand Snake?
Why did Dan's girlfriend (in his dreams) rebuff him after all they'd all been through, acting as though his being "late" for a date that wasn't one was all important and unforgivable?
Why kill off sweet brave professor Jericho as they did? It was silly and he didn't deserve it.
Let's hope the Specials give a better ending to the 13th Doctor's story.
