The third Disney + special featuring The Doctor was dropped on the streaming service. We have seen the return of David Tennant as the Doctor. I had not been a viewer of Doctor Who over the years with just a few exceptions here and there. I liked the first special and loved last week’s special and so I was anticipating the next special.
Without spoiling anything, I loved this ending and the resolution was absolutely amazing and changed the mythology of the Doctor for now on. I don’t want to spoil anything, but it has been known that the next Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa was scheduled to appear in this special. How it came about was great.
Neil Patrick Harris is playing the villain of the special and, once again, I do not intend on spoiling what villain since I believe it is an important Doctor Who character (at least I think it was). Harris is always great and I did enjoy his over-the-top performance of that actor.
There were some real emotional moments in the special, especially between Tennant and Catharine Tate. I do believe that there are some other fun faces that reappear from the history of The Doctor’s adventures.
These three specials have made me a fan of this version of the Doctor. There is a Christmas special still on the horizon and I am excited to see it.
