Series 3 Episode 11: Utopia

Summary:
The Doctor and Martha land in Cardiff to refuel the Tardis. Jack jumps at the Tardis when they are just leaving and suddenly the Tardis brings them to the end of the universe. They land on a strange planet where humans are hunted by the Futurekind. The three of them manage to get to the silo where they meet Professor Yana, who tries to make the rocket work. In the silo are the last humans who want to leave the planet and find Utopia. Even the Doctor doesn't know how to fix the engine of the rocket at first but then he just tries something out and it helps. One of the Futurekind has managed to get into the silo and sabotages the start and now the only man who can help is Jack, who can't die anymore. Martha sees the same watch the Doctor owns at the Professor and knows that he has to be a Time Lord in human form. Unfortunately the Professor opens the watch and knows again who he is, the Master. He lets the Futurekind into the silo and leaves in the Tardis. Martha, Jack and the Doctor are stuck at the end of the universe.

"Utopia" is the first part of the final three-parter of series 3. I think it's great to have Jack back. He just brings another dynamic into the show. It's great to see that he is able to talk to the Doctor and that they can settle some of the things that stand between them. I like the idea of an episode at the end of the universe and that the humans still try to find a way out, that they still try to survive. The Futurekind are really creepy and I wonder if they were humans once or if they are a totally different race. I don't think that's ever really explained. The Master is also kind of scary with the drum beats in his head and that he's so ruthless when he finally knows who he is. You can see that the Doctor knows him from the past and that he's not really happy to have him here, especially when the Master steals the Tardis and leaves the others at the end of the universe. Definitely a great start for a three-parter.

Quotes from "Utopia"

I have some quotes from the episode "Utopia" for you, the first part of the final three-parter of series three.

(The Doctor gets the mechanism to work)
Professor Yana: How did you do that?
The Doctor: Oh, we’ve been chatting away, I forgot to tell you. I’m brilliant!

Martha: The Doctor sort of travels through time and space and picks people up. God, I make us sound like stray dogs. Maybe we are.
Professor Yana: He… travels in time?
Martha: Don’t ask me to explain it. That’s a TARDIS, that box thing. The sports car of time travel, he says.

"Professor Yana": Did you never think, all those years standing beside me, to ask about that watch? Never? Did you never once think - not ever - that you could set me free?!
Chantho: Chan-I'm sorry-tho! Chan-I'm so sorry...
"Professor Yana": You, with your chan and your tho driving me insane!
Chantho: Chan-Professor, please!
"Professor Yana": That is not my name! "The Professor" was an invention. So perfect a disguise that I forgot who I am.
Chantho: Chan-Then... who are you-tho?
"Professor Yana": (whispered) I am...the Master!
(The Master kills her)

(Having been mortally wounded by Chantho, Professor Yana/The Master is dying)
Professor Yana/The Master: Killed by an insect. A girl. How inappropiate! Still, if the Doctor can be young, and strong, then so can I. The Master... reborn!
(The Master regenerates into new, much younger body)

(The newly regenerated Master has seized control of the TARDIS)
The Master: Doctor!...Oh, new voice. (speaking in different tones of voice) Hello, hello, hello! Anyway, why don't we stop and have a nice little chat while I tell you all my plans and you can work out a way to stop me, I don't think!
Martha: Hold on, I know that voice!
The Doctor: I'm asking you really properly, just stop! Just think!
The Master: Use my name.
The Doctor: Master. I'm sorry.
The Master: Tough!
