I know! That's what I love about it. The Doctor's own arrogance and presumption of his his legend. Finally backfires on him.
Still, that speech alone is one of the best ones in all of Doctor Who's history...

I know you've already seen it, but if the followup's a pile of RTD style wankery I'm really going to be pissed.

I don't consider it to be so. In fact, the resolution has facets building from the entire season. But, just watch it, and then we'll discuss it.

Pro, have you checked out Davison in The Last Detective? It's up on Netflix now.

Yeah, watched it a couple of years ago (via Netflix). It was good, but too depressing for me.

You realize that the bad cop in the first one was Troughton's son, right? Also found out that the original TV adaptation back in the early 80's had Bernard Cribbins as Dangerous Davies. Seriously, this bastard was all Who'd up.

Did NOT realize that was the Trout's son! I'll have to go back re-watch it again, now.
Did you know that Bernard Cribbins was already involved in Doctor Who before Wilf? He was in one of the Cushing Dalek movies as a main character...

Once you know it, you'll recognize the family resemblance. I kept thinking that I knew him from something else the whole damn time. It wasn't until I saw his name in the end credits that it hit me.
I kind of liked the Last Detective stuff (they only have the first series up). It's so anti-hard boiled detective. Davison's fifth Doctor naivete really helps sell the character. The guy playing his boss does a good job of being a dick but also wanting to cut Davies some slack. Also, the black chick from the homeless guy episode was in the last two season's of Blake's 7. Nerdness abounds.

Yeah, he died couple of months before Sladen/SJS did.

Tennant's final episode, "The End of Time", was supposed to be him and The Brig together. But, because of Courtney's stroke, cancer, and failing health, RTD re-wrote it for the Wilf character. Imagine how meaningful Ten's sacrifice would have been if he could have died to save The Brig!
Here's a perfect little goodbye video for him.

OH! You're soooo lucky!! I love the 'Five TARDIS Team'. Too bad Matthew Waterhouse won't be there. You could have finally smacked Adric in the face!

The Oldest Question in the Universe was asked in the second episode of Doctor Who, ever, called "The Cave of Skulls". Now, think to the finale this year. Where was he when he learned of the question? In a "cave of skulls"....
