Uh oh! What will happen!

okay, just a few more feet to go... oh. oh shit

Nice facial expressions.

5'd for The Doctor's awesome tie.

I love Doctor Who, but jesus did they do some stupid crap sometimes.

What do you expect? It was all down hill after Baker.

oh yeah, cliffhanger, i get it

Sheer brilliance.

I never did like Sylvester McCoy. Until now.

lazy writers... couldn't someone have pushed him?

What was he even trying to do?

a brilliant plan is inferred. somehow. maybe.

I like how there isn't even an "uh oh" reaction shot. It just SLAMS into the closing credits.

Worst cliffhanger in TELEVISION history.

How could he not have... what?!

After this, nobody is allowed to rag on Russell T. Davies.

The Hell of it is I'm pretty sure he succeeded at whatever he was trying to do.

Meanwhile, in another room:

Daleks: THE DOOMSDAY DEVICE IS ACTIVATED! NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW! UNLESS THE DOCTOR HANGS FROM A LEDGE!

His plan was to rely on whatever plot device the writers threw in to move the action along. Little did he anticipate that they were padding time, and unaware of the non-literal use of the word cliff hanger.

Next week: The Doctor's plans are foiled again, when a writer is introduced that understands and intends to apply the laws of physics.
