the ending is all wrong tho, nobody pressed a big red button that resolved everything magically at the end... ;)
Seriously tho I don't think you can have a 'big battle happens offscreen' ending, the audience would demand to see that happen onscreen. Also a small but important point, the doctor has never to my knowledge 'called up the TARDIS', altho he really should be able to logically speaking, dramatically speaking it would be total fail, as at any point he was in peril he could call it up to resolve everything and anything...
LOVE the basic premise of the Thal Warriors tho, that would be SO cool! :D

but the conclusion is deliberately missed in case people want to do an entire cg series based on it like George Lucas has :D
Don't think its a magical resolve, with enough pacing and panic getting the women and children on board should be enough of a task, and I like the way the doctor is powerless to stop Davros, I'm sick of the Doctor being feared by everyone and him shouting "I'm the doctor" all the time

his enemies often have ample time to just plain shoot him but won't because he's The Doctor.
Bothers me at times...
I suppose you could argue a lot of aliens respect the importance of a Time Lord's influence on all timelines, including their own, and what with time being so wibbly-wobbly shooting him dead might actually affect theirs.

is the doctor the last time lord because they had a war (with whom?) in which they caused themselves to never exist by effectivly killing their own grandads? The doctor mumbles something along these lines every so often but i've never caught the full version.

there was a war with the Daleks and the Doctor thought he'd wiped out all the Time Lords and the Daleks, only for both to show up again so he wiped them all out again.

apparently the Daleks are completely wiped out (Exterminated if you will although they manage to come back via Rose Tyler's dna and a random mad dalek that was lost in time for some reason - who knows!) but at the cost of all Time Lords but The Doctor are wiped out too. However, The Master still existed and he (as I understand it) was a TimeLord too and the great end of everything series where The Dotor ends up teaming up with The Master in a joint effort to send the (supposedly extinct) TimeLords (some sort of Higher Council of Time Lords Trapped in a time/space bubble or something) back to their time/space bubble to stop them ending time and space. Now following this basically means - They make it up as they go along... ;)

Altho it must be said if you are the lords of time itself it can't be bloody easy to wipe you out just by sheer force alone.
The Daleks however, there really is no excuse, other than folks just really like 'em, multi-coloured vinyl humpty backed versions not withstanding.
