T-minus 4 hours to New Who!Doctor Who! Something about Mars!

[1927]

I enjoyed that.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Wouldn't say that was scary, but enjoyable.

 

[gnoriac]

Good up until the end, when the Doctor turned all manic about his power, etc. Just doesn't really seem to fit with the big story. He's supposed to be responible and philosophic... not explaining this well.

But then he realised that he still couldn't change anything!

Just doesn't really seem to fit with the big story. .

You only get a big story if there's a bit of character development.

Interesting in its own right, and a perfectly good space station romp to set it in. I'm happy.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Meh

 

[ivebeenhigh]

the music was too loud

I liked it meh, until the ranting Doctor at the end, that was interesting.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

the music was too loud

It always is.

 

[Iguana]

Meh

Sums it up nicely imo.

 

[colacubes]

It was scary. Great writing. I may have cried.

Russell T Davies is a fucking genius. I would quite like David Tennant's babies as well thankyouplease

 

[8ball]

Meh seconded.

Soggy aliens not scary and this 'fixed point in time' stuff is a bit tedious.

 

[nicksonic]

i thought it was good but an obvious stepping stone to the next bit.

 

[gnoriac]

I felt it was out of character rather than character development.

 

[fogbat]

The Master is coming back!

 

[Balbi]

Worked for me - space station, some still undefined baddies from Mars - Doctor getting all moral about not interfering with time, and then having his eureka/bwahahahaha moment. Overstretching and manical, this regenerations starting to fray a bit around the edges.

Look forward to Blonde Simm and I swear I saw Sally Sparrow in the trailer

 

[colacubes]

The Master is coming back!

I would also quite like John Simm's babies thankyouplease

 

[colacubes]

And a note for people who didn't find it scary - watch it in the dark with just a candle on. It delivers

 

[nicksonic]

I felt it was out of character rather than character development.

that's what i thought. i think it's more 'story development' for where they want to get to.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Lots of running away. I missed the first bit then put my daughter to bed and they were still running untill the last 5 finutes.

 

[gnoriac]

What was supposed to be inside the glacier they were breaking up? Was hoping it was gonna be the Ice Warriors themselves. A new, updated 2009 version of course.

 

[strung out]

second time i saw this episode, and even better than the first time. seriously fucking good.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

The 28 Days Later water drop in the eye - artful homage or crass lift?

 

[pigtails]

I enjoyed it but it's definitely more filler than killer!





and I was a little bit scared

 

[punkrockfaggot]

The doc has finally grown a pair. And gone a bit mad. Time is his concubine.

 

[nicksonic]

i enjoyed the 'i don't like funny robots' nod towards the kandy man

 

[TrippyLondoner]

that's what i thought. i think it's more 'story development' for where they want to get to.

Yup, i thought it was good the way it was done, doctor going mad with power once he started realizing it all, then that twist at the end was great.

 

[8ball]

What was supposed to be inside the glacier they were breaking up?

Something actually scary but beyond the scope of the effects budget.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

pussay

The thing about Russel T Davies is, they should always take his scripts away from him and give them to another writer for the last act. IMO he always struggles to write a satisfying climax.
