So, got back from watching PLANET OF THE DEAD and THE WATERS OF MARS.

You know how I said going from "The Doctor's Daughter" to "The Unicorn And The Wasp" was quite the exercise in Mood Whiplash? Same here. I mean, for "Planet of the Dead" you got this really honestly fun special with a really hopeful ending, and for "The Waters of Mars"... *Sighs* Three words: Time Lord Victorious. Do I need to say anything else ( Read more... )

tearjerker, crowning moment of heartwarming, theme, taking risks, plot, doctor who, crowning moment of funny, characterization, reviews, some anvils need to be dropped, crowning moment of awesome

I thought these episodes with the Doctor wandering by himself were sad - as everyone keeps saying, he *needs* someone with him.

I think The Waters of Mars was a great example of what happens to the Doctor when there isn't someone around to stop him when he starts to get out of control.

I agree, so very much.

"Planet Of the Dead" was actually my least favorite of the four specials. I had a very "Meh" reaction to it, but I still haven't figured out why :[. I don't know if it was because, IMO, Lady Christina seemed too flat/one-dimensional (I found the bus passengers far more interesting), and I never really saw a "spark" between her & Ten, or something else, but it just didn't work for me, unfortunately :[. *Shrugs*

I absolutely loved "The Waters Of Mars", though :). That and "The End Of Time" are my favorites of the four specials. *Nods* The "monsters" in this actually didn't scare me nearly as much as Ten did toward the end of the ep, though. It was definitely terrible to see the crew members turn into the monsters one by one, however, especially the woman you mentioned in your post. *Nods*
it didn't stop me (because I'm a fucking idiot, apparently) from going all, "Come back and save them, Doctor!" To which he popped back later, but...yeah, I kind of wished he didn't. :/
My reaction was pretty much exactly the same. On the one ( ... )
