Doctor Who: Series 1 Episode 13 "The Parting Of Ways" [Emz]

So I've reached the end of the series! Blimey!

Here we are with The Parting Of Ways. This is the last episode of the Series and Christopher Eccleston's final ever episode as The Doctor.

This episode aired originally on the 18th June 2005 on BBC One.

Here is the synopsis:

Rose and the Doctor's friendship is put to the test, as Earth plunges into an epic war with the human race being slaughtered.

Review:

The episode picks up where the last episode ended. The Doctor and Jack rescue Rose by materialising the TARDIS around her. Which is very clever if you ask me, I wouldn't have thought of it.

The Doctor learns that the Daleks survived the Time War (barely) and have been driven mad by the human values they have absorbed.

After arriving back on Floor 500, Jack and The Doctor set about building a Delta Wave to fry the Daleks brains, unfortunately they don't have as much time as needed.

They get the extrapolater covering the top 6 levels and Jack leaves to help get  volunteers ready to battle the Daleks.  

The Doctor checks on the Delta Wave and realises that its not ready. He tricks Rose into the TARDIS on the pretence he can cross his own timeline. The TARDIS de-materialises with only Rose on board. 

A hologram of thee doctor Appears and tells Rose that he has activated Emergency Program One and the TARDIS is taking Rose home. 

Rose lands back home and is crushed. Her mum is just happy to have her home. 

The Daleks force their way in on floor 494 and begin their ascent upwards.

Rose back home in the 21st Century, still upset is being told my her mum and Mickey to just get on with her life. Rose on the other hand is having none of it and tells them that The Doctor showed her a better way of living your life.

She runs into the paved area of the Estate and notices Bad Wolf scrawled all over the floor and walls, she realises there is a link between The doctor and her even though they are in different places and times.

With Mickey's help with the towtruck, Rose opens the heart of the TARDIS and they look into each other. She transports back to the Gamestation just before the Daleks shoot The Doctor. 

She becomes Bad Wolf and destroys the Daleks to ashes and resurrects Jack. The Doctor realises that the power on th time vertex running though her head will kill her and kisses her to take it away. Rose passes out.

When Rose wakes up The Doctor is talking about all the things they would have done together. rose asks why they can't do those things. 

The Doctor explains that the Time Lords have a way of cheating  death and he wont be the same if he gets to do them. He tells her she was fantastic and so was he and then light explodes from his hands and face. When it is all over he looks completely different.

David Tennant takes over as The Doctor.

This episode ending shocked me. i didn't read any newspapers or seen it on the TV that Christopher Eccleston was leaving so it was a huge surprise. But I looked forward to the Christmas Special.

Till next time
