Can someone explain this to me?
Okay, THE LAST OF THE TIME LORDS was on today. Can someone explain to me how after the Master and Lucy traveled back in time, what they did to create the Toclafane? Also: WHO called out the signal from Utopia in the first place? Was it the Master? The Toclafane themselves?
And is humanity left in this sorry state, as the Toclafane after time resets and reverses? It sure looked that way to me.
Dear oh Dear
just saw the trailer for the christmas special "The End of Time". It has all the hall marks of a RTD story.

Thanks RTD for bringing DW back. I will be eternally thankful. I definitely think you did the right thing leaving and knowing its time for fresh ideas.
that is not to say I think the story will be bad, but to me it is a clear sign he is/was running out of ideas for Doctor Who.
All the best, Russell, with your new projects in America.
Beginnings and Endings
Please Note: There will be spoilers in this blog entry if you haven't seen the UK press in the last week, or the reports out of San Diego Comic-Con.
The last week has been a fantastic time to be a Doctor Who fan - and the proof of how great this show is, could be seen in the thousands of screaming fans in San Diego yesterday morning, as the celebrated the coming end of an era - And what a ride that ending looks like its going to be. Frights on Mars with water and who knows what else, and then "The End of Time" itself, with Wilf, Donna, the Master, Timothy Dalton and the last days of Planet Earth!!!! It all looks very dark indeed! Whatever happened to Russell's promise not to scare the kids on Christmas Day??!!!!
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Part One
I'm so sorry I didn't post this earlier.
I was sooo exhausted and I'm still knackered today.
Sunday was amazing.
I had trouble sleeping and got up at 4:30. I was down at the Convention Center by 5AM.
Out in front of the Con was the 'God Line'; everyone with a pass that wanted in, needed to be in this line.
When I got there, there were about five hundred people in line in front of me. Some were there to get onto the Expo floor, some were there for gaming, some were there for the Supernatural panel, some for other panels and then there were all of us in line for the Doctor Who panel.
When my Husband had come in at midnight, he had gone by to see if a line had started. He saw about seventeen people in line. I spoke to one of these people hours later and she said there had been about five people who started the line at 8PM. So, some people had been in line over 24 hours to see the Doctor Who panel
Hand-Held "Corrected" Video of the 'End of Time' Promo
This promo for the End of Time presented at San Diego Comic Con this past weekend was shot by someone in the audience. The hand-held shaky video uploaded to YouTube by safia43 was then stabilized and cleaned up a bit by colonelbarker to the give you what you see here below. It features an element that would had been considered a spoiler before Comic Con, but now is not as the BBC has already announced it. Hopefully a better version of this promo will become available on the net soon, in the meantime, here below is probably the best version of it on YouTube (catch it while you can).
