Did it REALLY end like that?

[Timey]

Yes, another subject briefly mentioned in chat with John Smith yesterday... did the story of the second Doctor REALLY end the way we saw it in The War Games?

I happen to think not (but then, I wouldn't).

SPOILERISH
To me it's all revealed in what 'Jamie' wears in that 'return to Culloden' scene:
Lace-up boots and a kilt pin??? - I think not!!!
END


I believe it's just a bit of sloppy Time Lord CGI... and then off to Season 6b.

EDIT: can't spell.

What I do find interesting about the clothes he wears is that if this right after he met the Doctor, Ben and Polly, where is his tam? I have seen pictures of the Highlanders and he is wearing it.

In theory, he was returned AFTER his 'first adventure' with the Doctor... which should have had him sent back to The Annabelle or, at least, Inverness. So I guess the tam would have been lost in the course of things.

Although, the final scene, out on a moor in broad daylight, was a bit sloppy - but I guess the production team weren't banking on nerds like me all these years later...

But it does give a perfect excuse for Season 6b, so I'm not complaining.

HOORAH FOR PICKING HOLES IN THINGS TO GET WHAT YOU WANT

Maybe, but that's why there's fanfiction. With the Doctor nothing is ever truly final.

Which also makes me wonder when did they drop Jamie off in the battlefield. Before they sent the Doctor into exile or after season 6B?

[Timey]

They didn't... it's all made up... CGI.
;D

[tartanlass]

Anyone have ideas for a better ending?Besides Jamie living with me happily ever after.

[Timey]

Oh yes! Done a vid for that too... ;D
