The shippy review of EoT Part 2!

In my first post I attempted to keep the shippy side of things out of my reivew and focus on all the other points. Which sadly meant it was a pretty "meh" sort of review. Since going simply on those merits I considered it to be good in some ways, but also to have a lot of down sides too, especially plot wise, and overall being a "meh" sort of episode.

I have since watched the episode again and in this review I am going to focus on the one main redeeming feature. Yes, that is of course the wonderful Doctor/Master subtext in this, and the wonderful scenes between them which even eclipsed that beautiful wasteland scene from the first part. Focusing on the ongoing history and love/hate relationship between them.

This is cut because it's gonna be a long spoilery post (even thought I forgot to cut the last one!) but also because it will have a few screencaps, and to save anyone who doesn't have any interest in this pairing from having this dumped on their flist.

The screencaps used in this were snagged from here: http://community.livejournal.com/skylar_town/31962.html

( Onwards to a slashtastic review )

So anyway. I am also sad that those scenes, although slashtastic, are the last ever scenes my Doctor and the Master will have together. But I really do hope the Master will be back in the future to have scenes with the next Doctor(s). Although Ten's song has to end here, I'd hate their story to end here.

This has made me melancholic again. I think I'm gonna get some hot chocolate and read some Doctor/Master fanfic.

Stay Beautiful,

Aissa.
