Doctor Who, The Classic Series Finale
Fans of Doctor Who are super invested in what their favorite show has to offer.
The classic, or the original series had its run between 1963 until it came to an end back in 1989, and many felt it left fans wondering what might have been. While this classic era had its share of ups and downs. It still has fans who remember how they enjoyed those awesome stories, however, this amazing show didn't have a really exciting ending!
A Plot Hole:
It seems fans are never happy with any holes that might exist within the plot.
If there was something that caused a ruckus among fans of Doctor Who. This is going to be one of those moments that left many scratching their heads, or just straight up confused!
It seems that when "Survival" was released as a television "Doctor Who" series, and was seen as the last part of the story in 1989, it was one that didn't offer a very happy ending, that made many feel that this show, and the writers could have done a lot better!
- "Survival" was a three-part episode!
- The Seventh Doctor. Played by Sylvester McCoy, took the lead as one of the Doctor's amazing forms.
- It also brought the Doctor face-to-face with his biggest, most famous enemy: The Master!
- The Doctor even had an intense, crazy rivalry in which both had to take on a challenging ride on motorcycles and had an incredible crash that made fans question what could happen!
"Survival Part 3" ended on this high note of crazy adventure! While fans thought The Master and The Doctor would have been taken off of the scene during their "Game of Chicken!"
The Problem, and its Solution:
The biggest issue? That it appeared The Doctor, survived through an insanely lucky stroke. Doctor Who has these really remarkable stories, always coming up with unbelievable plots and outcomes, as fans have come to expect that "Doctor Who" really has no bounds.
However, if you look at this in the classic era it seemed almost unfair for fans to watch The Doctor escape! He didn't really plan it. It's something that would take Doctor Who back to its most basic formula, it seems to be as if the writers were so happy to have The Doctor make his grand escape!
- Fans saw how The Doctor made this grand escape through this incredibly convenient place!
- There was just this one "mattress"! The one that seemed like a last minute fix! Fans started wondering what really happened as if someone threw a life preserver, that just so happened to be perfect, to bring The Doctor back. Fans might not have even seen a scene, giving viewers even a little bit of perspective as to what exactly The Doctor did.
