Five stars to dw, not magic.
The 50th anniversary of watching the end of time directly. The setting of the painting takes "bigger on the inside" to the extreme; all kinds of easter eggs that pay tribute to the old and new versions are also very interesting. All kinds of small details show that Magic is indeed whovian and attentive.
However, when it comes to the overall plot structure, I have to complain.
First of all, how easy is it to change major historical points in time? Not to mention the history of a thousand years ago, without any impact? This completely overturned the setting in "Pompeii", and the tragic sense of fate in "Water of Mars" is also like a joke.
(Remember the episode "Turn Left"? Donna's mere decision to change the turn created a new timeline around her, a terrible parallel universe)
Then, Little Eleven is very cute, but the stalks stuffed to Little Ten reveal full of malice (turn a blind eye to the bad wolf girl, I don't want to go) Magic Te is not bad at writing Little Ten, the library is a double episode It's wonderful, but here Xiao Shi is wandering around to escape the prophecy after the end of "Mars Water", and the superficial joy cannot hide the inevitable fact that "his song is ending". Magicte wrote him like a silly white sweet in the second season...
In the end, it was fun and super fanciful to have Eleven and Ten meet. But I'd rather they never met.
In this way, Xiao Shi never knew what his future would be like, nor what he would look like even if he was reborn. It is this sense of ignorance about the future and the helplessness of fate that makes the end of time so fascinating and so sad.
What Xiao Shi revealed in front of Grandpa Donna, his reluctance to be reborn, his reluctance to part with this generation, and his fear of prophecy, made it seem particularly cold and real. All in all, the backlog of these emotions became "oh...live too long" at the end, which was really shocking.
