A lot of great writers can't finish their stories to save their life, like Stephen King. He does manage to end a FEW of his 12 million works decently, but most of them are like, OMG, WTF??? Like IT--a giant space spider??? Really???
But I keep reading his stuff, darn him. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shag Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 3:39 PM To: The Unique Geek Subject: [The Unique Geek] Re: Dr Who - The End of Time Part 1 ** NO SPOILERS ** I can see what you mean, but I guess I feel a little different. Specifically for me, episode 12 of the season (the penultimate episode each season) is usually great, with episode 13 (the season finale) being not quite as good. For example in Season 4, "The Stolen Earth" (episode 12) was one of my favorite episodes, but "Journey's End" (episode 13) wasn't as good. In Season 3, "Utopia" (episode 11) and "The Sound of Drums" (episode 12) were really good, but "Last of the Time Lords" (episode 13) was rubbish. It seems to me that RTD really knows how to build a great story, but doesn't know how to finish it. That seems to be the pattern for the multi-part stories written by him. So I was going into "The End of Time Part One" (the penultimate episode of the season) expecting to LOVE this episode, while expecting to be disappointed with the Part Two (the season finale next week). I was surprised at how "Meh" I felt after "The End of Time Part One". Now I'm even more concerned about Part Two. I hope what I'm trying to say makes sense. You don't have to agree with it, I just hope I explained it well.
