It's the end but the moment has been prepared for...
For the season finale of the 18th season, Tom Baker, the 4th Doctor, reaches the end of his 7 year tenure. What started with Sarah Jane and the Brigadier, comes to a close with a relative bunch of strangers after saving the universe. With the return of the Master, an old rivalry is renewed and costs the Doctor his life. And with Adric in tow, the Doctor soon picks up Nyssa from last story and Australian air stewardess Tegan Jovanka crashes in too. This is the first time since the original days of Doctor Who that the Doctor has more than 2 companions. The reboot that began at the beginning of this season come to full fruition by the end of the story with a new Doctor, new companions, new theme, new opening, a new Master, etc etc.
While last season's story were a bit bad, this season was a welcomed changed with an injection of new energy. Overall, very consistent and good stories, this Doctor's swan song is a fitting ending to the longest tenured incumbent. While his early days seem more like a golden age of Doctor Who, his ending paved the way for a new ear of classic stories.
