This is an interesting one.<\/p>\n

Story arcs are ok, if they come to some kind of conclusion and not leave you saying “What about the thing?”\u00a0 I still wonder “What about the thing?” with the whole Bad Wolf arc and years later with the Hybrid.<\/p>\n

There are things that are sort of\u00a0 story arc-like, like drips of Vote Saxon being mentioned in passing, then finding out who Saxon really is later that series.<\/p>\n

I also liked how Missy is introduced in Series 8<\/a>, first with Clara calling a “help line”, which is the Doctor’s Tardis, and she tells him that a lady in the shop gave her his number. You don’t see the mysterious woman. That is from the beginning of the second half of series 7. You don’t find out who she really is until the end of Series 8.<\/p>\n

I two at the top, (yes, yet another tie) and they are both from the Classic era.<\/p>\n

The War Games<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Second Doctor’s final story story,The War Games, which I recently saw earlier this year (I don’t think I saw this before, outside of clips). It has ten parts which lasted the whole of season 6.\u00a0 That sounds like it would drag somewhere in the middle, or the end, but it moves along at a good pace as certain things are revealed.\u00a0 (And how about that Steve Jobs look-a-like 30 years before Jobs got that look?) And it is also when we are first introduced to the Time Lords. As well as the departure of Zoe, Jamie, and the Second Doctor.<\/p>\n
