Doctor Who: Voyage of the Damned
So, I saw Voyage of the Damned, the Doctor Who X-Mas Special.
And I am sad to say, my main feeling is:
Meh.
Such a pity because I loved the previous two ones.
But this, while with some cool bits, was rather boring.
For one thing, I find disaster stuff boring. For another, we got introduced to a bunch of characters and then are supposed to chare if they die? I don't know anything about them, and except for poor awesome midshipman way over his head, and the salesman, I couldn't care less if they fell off the ship.
Astrid. Blah. BLAH. I was kinda 'finally' when she fell. She was drippy and very very dull. She was like a shorthand version of everything about Martha I didn't like (i.e. drippiness) without anything of Martha's cool traits. I got more excited by ten seconds of Catherine Tate in the promo than I did by all of Astrid.
Astrid was toast as soon as she declared her desire to come with Ten though. Just as well because three Companions in a row in love with the Doctor would be a bit much.
Cheesy action shots? And the Alonzo joke? Lost me.
But the Doctor looked scrumptuous, I was amused by evil rich guy surviving, and there was a lot of prettiness.
But the trailer for S4? Rocked hard-core.
