Yet, despite the Doctor's irresponsible defiance of time, nothing changed. If successful, would he be able to bring Rose back from her parallel Universe, or even save his own people from annihilation? If he can successfully change a fixed moment in time without significant repercussions, then what's to stop him trying to change his own destiny? If the Time Lords are the custodians of time, and all that responsibility now rests solely upon his shoulders, then who is there to check his hand? The implications are potentially far reaching. I did wonder at one point whether his metamorphosis into 'Time Lord Victorious' was all part of some grand scheme to defy his own fate. The tenth Doctor has just two episodes left to live, and the haunting, all pervasive, spectre of his inevitable extinction is beginning to take its toll. Tonight's episode was a brooding, sometimes harrowing parable on the dangers of power. People died, and despite his best intentions, the tenth Doctor moved one step closer to his own destruction. Instead of being hampered by the restrictions of being a Time Lord, he tried to change an event fixed in time, and it all went Pete Tong. Tonight, the Doctor attempted to change the rules of the game. In terms of quality, it was head and shoulders above 'Planet of the Dead,' it was beautifully plotted, featured terrifying monsters, and was thick with complex adult themes. Doctor: 'Is this it? My death? Is it time?'
