This past weekend I immersed myself in the exciting world of "Doctor Who." I came to the show at the beginning of the sixth series of the relaunch and never turned back, roughly two years ago for civilians. So I was excited to experiance the series (that's season for my fellow Americans) finale at a pizza party. Nerds gathered from across Southern California into a banquet room at a Round Table to play games (I won a toy in the process), eat up, and soak in the last precious "Who" until the 50th anniversary special in November.
I may have only become a whovian roughly two years ago but I have poured into the world. I have watched the new series and have jumped into the classics, not to mention I've gone to fan improve shows and regularly read the comic book series, and so when I say this know it means a great deal. This was the best episode I have seen thus far. This whole season there have been little nods to the past but this episode opened the floodgates.
We actually saw past Doctors interacting with the current companion. We went back to the Doctor's homeworld and went along as he and Susan stole the T.A.R.D.I.S. It was full fan service and I loved it. I don't know what this ending will mean to both the series and how I number people but I know the episode was a love letter to the fans and for that I am happy and every person at the pizza party was too.
