However, I wouldn't write the final two episodes off as complete tosh. The one part that I couldn't stand was the 'saying the Doctor's name' bit in LotTL - that was rubbish. I have thought about it and there are ways that RTD could have had a similar result (and still with Martha doing her PR work) without it needing to resort to everyone saying his name at a prearranged time. Then again, it does tie a little into Torchwood with the episode They Keep Killing Suzie where a poem is used to unlock the locked down hub as well as The Shakespeare Code where the power over words that the Carrionites possess is likened to the power one can wield with Mathematics. Of course, the power isn't derived from simply saying numbers but using them in formulae/designing/engineering etc. I, too, felt that Captain Jack was underused.

Shame. Paul - good spotting on the typo. MY teen self would have been sniggering rather guiltily at the name "Mister Winker". It does sound a tad euphemistic :o Ah, so it’s not just Wellington then, Alex? Shame.

The final 3-parter seemed like a checklist of missed opportunities (and Jack was *SO* underused it really was a question of why bother?) and editorial decisions that left people feeling a little nonplussed. Suffice to say that the small gathering of Christchurch fans weren't terribly impressed. An accurate summation of the current state of play.
