Dr Who - A good man goes to war - Spoilers

[d000hg]

Interesting, but I wish they hadn't crammed it all into one 45min episode.

Also, aren't the universe and 'fixed points in time' smarter than sending a look-a-like? The Doctor had to die, not a robot... he was present but escaped. Did all the people in that robot sacrifice their lives for him?

And - how will he keep a low profile? Seems unlikely. I wonder if the BBC mean to ever kill him off and end it for good.

The fixed point was the witnessing of the shooting of the doctor and his body being burned. It had to convince those who wanted him dead. If he wasn't the only one in the robot, presumably he evacuated the others when he left himself - you can see the Tardis in the background.

It did strike me initially as "with one bound Jack was free", but on reflection, it does work. It'll be interesting to watch the series again, and see if there are any hints about it being the robot.

I expect that Moffett has written it this way to get away from the cosmic scale - I mean, how many times can you end the series with the fabric of space and time being threatened?
