Finished Series 6 this morning. Of course, the last episode tries to tie everything together, then uses some loophole to get out of it.
SPOILERS
The Doctor has to die. The whole episode is showing what happens if he doesn't (time disintegrates). But instead of figuring out a way to save himself, he fakes his death and goes underground. Like he pulled one over on Time. Doesn't Time know better?
I also love that The Doctor can last 200 years without a companion (as The Eleven who fakes his death is 200 years older than the one who watches), but never lasts more than a few years with a companion without having to regenerate. Eight seemed to have lasted that long without dying, then turns into Nine who dies a year later. Ten can't last a couple months without a companion before becoming The Time Lord Victorious, then regenerating after 3 years of doing that. Eleven almost has to regenerate at least once a year with the Ponds, but can last 200 years without them. You'd think he'd stop wanting companions since they always seem to get him killed. ;-)
I do like the set up for next season/the future. The question that should never be answered was pretty clever.
END SPOILERS
Like I said, I'll keep watching, but I don't need to own it.
