The Waters of Mars
Discussion
Thought it was very good but I could have done without the rocket powered robot with the 'Back-to-Future' style fire tracks, bit too much silliness kind of ruining the darkness of the episode a bit.
Loved the rest of it though, is the Doctor supposed to going a bit nuts now then? Too much time on his own?

Yeah there was definatly a turning point. Into real arrogance especially calling the people he saved the little people. What a fantastic performace from David Tennant again. He will always be my Doctor.Wildsea said:

Thought it was good, if a bit on the "28 days later" side for that early evening slot - the drop of water in the eye seemed like a deliberate acknowledgement of that film.
Here's a surprise, though - there's something scary out there. In the dark. And it's coming. Crikey, that's a new plotline departure for Russell T Davies, isn't it?

Other than the ending I thought it was pretty slack, poorly acted in parts and very childish (Doctor Who for children?>!!!?>> what next?). The gadget gadget crap was utter pish.
I like the idea of the Doctor going insane with power however, I'm hoping he's going to turn mass murderer and have to be saved by the master from his own evil.......

Was interesting to see how the Doctor behaves without a moral compass of a companion, the arrogance that is more akin to The Master. And what it takes to snap him out of it
Hasn't he always said he likes having a companion to keep his morals straight? IIRC that is what he and Donna discussed.Interesting the RTD said in the podcast after The Master was shot by Lucy Saxon and refused to regenerate to hurt The Doctor that "they had no intention of bringing him back" yet here he is in the 2009 Christmas Special. Wonder how they are going to explain his 'rebirth'?
SOmething to do with the ring that was picked up? Like what the Doctor had with his watch? And what about Donna and her dormant Timelord genes? Where theres a will theres a way.
Of course I've just remembered I'm skiing for the New Year so I'll miss part 2 and i won't be back within a week to catch it on I-Player

Russell T Davies steals previously used sci-fi ideas to put his characters in peril, and is then completely hopeless at getting them out of it without lazy writing and big red reset buttons.
The Doctor knows the base is going to be destroyed in a nuclear blast that will leave no bodies. Yet he can't see the bleedin' obvious solution to saving them that the audience has worked out after 5 minutes.

Which is? Baring in mind he didn't choose to save them until the very end as changing a fixed point of time is against Time Lord code.The Doctor knows the base is going to be destroyed in a nuclear blast that will leave no bodies.
