That dress sounds so pretty! And for just $20? That is some amazing shopping luck right there.
I really liked "Waters of Mars," though I suppose I have to take that with a grain of salt since I haven't seen Series 4 yet and don't know how well it meshes with how Ten's progressed. I do think there could've been a bit less yelling when he snapped; it lost impact when it just kept happening. I'm a sucker for characters who try to act normal despite their crazy, so I found it most effective when Ten was all "I helped you! Everything is a-okay! ^__^" in his last conversation with Adelaide.
The casual mention of Yuri's brother and husband made me happy, but the makeup of the crew in general made me go LOL. I mean... an international space mission where Brits outnumber Russians and nobody's from a non-Western country? Really? This isn't Star Trek, guys. The gender balance was welcome, though, and Adelaide was kickass.
Also, I always assume Homeric rules of Fate and Ocarina of Time rules of time apply to everything unless it's explicitly stated that there are multiple timelines.
Yeah, Ten was deeeeeefinitely yelling too much. I think that's one of Tennant's weaknesses as an actor, or at least one of his weaknesses under RTD's directing him. RTD tends to go for "bigger is better" in his specials and finales, but I think sometimes he forgets that some of the best moments in Who are the subdued ones. (Like this one from Tomb of the Cybermen, in the sixties. One of my favorite scenes ever, honestly.)
Welllll, as far as the international space mission thing goes, I assumed it wasn't so much "international" as "put together from a few countries while other countries have their own space programs"? Which would explain the lines about the Phillipines, etc. We know that in the Who "future" Britain steps up in power again, so that could be part of it.
I assume multiple timelines for everything in the Whoniverse. Makes it easier to DisContinuity when I need to. ^_^
