Just a few words on the latest Doctor Who special, " The Waters Of Mars."
At long last - a special episode that lives up to its description!
The countdown to the Doctor's demise has begun, and doesn't he knows it, as he lands on Mars, and meets the ill-fated first human outpost on the red planet, Bowie Base One (cute touch by the writers). The date is 21st November 2059, the day everyone on Bowie Base One dies, and the Doctor knows this. But can he change history? More importantly, should he?
This is David Tennant's Doctor at his darkest, as the "Time Lord Victorious" - his absolute power corrupts him absolutely, and the Doctor is shown to be as megalomaniacal as the Master (which sets up nicely for Tennant's finale as the tenth Doctor),
I'm not going to quibble about the flaws. Overall, this episode was brilliant - now roll on the Christmas special, The End Of Time!
