Line 11:
Once everyone's all caught up, the Doctor lays it out: they're at the ass-end of time, right at the heat death of the universe. The stars have all burned out. Humanity, they learn, have all congregated together in this planet's [[Elaborate Underground Base]], where they've been lured by vague promises of shuttle service to Utopia.
The only one who knows anything about how to get to Utopia is kindly old Professor [[You Are Not Alone|Yana]], who is played by ''[[Derek Jacobi|Sir Derek fucking Jacobi]]''. If you'd told people, back when the old show was cancelled in '89, that not only would ''[[
Anyway. Sir Derek's plan is to load everyone onto these enormous rockets and send them to Utopia, but the rockets aren't actually in working order. They need someone to enter a chamber filled with deadly radiation to reset some switches. Sounds like a job for someone immortal! Jack takes off a few layers of clothing for good measure before starting.
And it works! The evacuation starts; the rockets are boarded by the last dregs of humanity, hoping for something, ''anything'' better than a slow death in the night. Everyone congratulates each other on a job well done... and then Martha notices that Professor Yana has a pocket watch. And it looks just like [[Doctor Who
The Doctor goes into full-on [[Oh Crap]] mode and dashes back to try to stop Yana from opening the watch, but he's too late: Yana reveals himself to be a very evil bastard and gets shot by his sweet assistant Chantho. Which doesn't deter him, because he is {{spoiler|the Master}}...
Line 75:
'''Yana''': Yes, well, that's quite enough information, thank you. }}
* [[Used Future]]
* '''[[Wham! Episode]]'''
* [[Wham! Line]]: One of the biggest in the whole series, and easily the biggest so far in the New Series.
{{quote| {{spoiler|Yana: I am The Master.}}}}
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The Doctor and Jack running through the halls with their coats flapping.
Line 83:
** [[Verbal Tic Name]]
* [[Waistcoat of Style]]: Professor Yana - according to [[Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine)|Doctor Who Magazine]], RTD told the wardrobe department to "[[William Hartnell|Hartnell]] him up".
* [[Wham! Line]]: "Even this thing never worked..."
** And shortly after, "Does it matter?" If only Martha had a better poker face.
* [[You Are Not Alone]]: Plot point!
