Doctor Who - Waters of Mars
Wow. So that's the end of happy-doctor forever? That was pretty dark, to say the least. I've always thought that about Ten, in particular, that he is often so boarderline and so arbitrary in his decisions and how they affect time, and we've always taken it to be "he knows what he's doing - he's a LORD of TIME". But now we have to wonder... has he known the whole way along? What code was he using? Take Pompeii....how did he *know* that it was okay to rescue that family? Or was he making it up as he went along there too?
Or, is his grief finally catching up with him? It hasn't been an easy road, to say the least, and the combination of what he had to do to Donna, coupled with the fact that Rose is living forever in the alternate universe, with someone who isn't him may have just pushed him too far. The universe has never given him anything, so it seems, so why not just rule it?
Ten has always been willful. If he wants something to happen, he makes it happen. If he doesn't like something, then he makes sure it is known. Usually this is played for laughs, but this determined streak, this almost child-like stubbornness could be his downfall?
David Tenant may just be one of the finest actors of our generation. The emotion he brings to his performance - the depth and craziness? My jaw actually dropped during his final scenes with Adelaide.
Adelaide was beautifully played and just...a wonderful female character, with depth and drive and the look of realization on her face in the final scenes, before she walked into her house almost broke my heart.
More to come.
