sawyl | The Waters of Mars

While I rather liked The Waters of Mars, I've got to admit to rather mixed feelings. I liked the way the doctor got to wrestle with his conscience in a way that he hasn't had to do for a while, and I thought moments between the doctor and Adelaide Brooke, particularly when the doctor was stuck in the airlock, were really very good. But I wasn't so impressed with all the running around — as the doctor all but said, Bowie Base should have commissioned a special space Brompton — which seemed to do little more than fill the time between the attacks of the killer water people.

Still, it was intriguing enough to make me look forward to the xmas episode...
