Since its relaunch in 2005, Doctor Who has established a tradition of grand season finales, culminating in high-stakes conflicts involving familiar enemies like the Daleks. Russell T Davies set a remarkable standard with episodes such as 'The Parting of the Ways' and 'Doomsday', but Steven Moffat's ‘The Big Bang’ took a different approach by focusing on intimacy rather than sheer scale. The narrative connects themes of danger established earlier, while illustrating how the Doctor's perceived threat leads to collective action against him, highlighted in the surrounding mythos of the Pandorica.
The Pandorica was a trap created to imprison the Doctor, branding him the most dangerous creature in creation, reflecting the themes of danger and morality from the 10th Doctor's era.
Moffat's 'The Big Bang' showcases the end of the world happening not on an epic scale, but in the intimate settings of a museum and a rooftop, subverting expectations.
