The Doctor's Companion Blog

So.  I’ve seen the Waters of Mars twice and have had a bit of time to ponder on it.  What do I think?

Well its good. Of course its good, they all are.  And Lindsey Duncan is of course wonderful as Adelaide Brook, the commander.  The make up is amazing, and the effects brilliant.  But.

I didn’t really like the Doctor going off the rails at the end. I really didn’t like that.  I quite understand that its great for David to act, and as always he did a fabulous job.  But the Doctor doesn’t do that.  Or shouldn’t.  I don’t want him to go mental and upset time.  I prefer him as he was.

Call me old  fashioned but I prefer the Doctor to be right, the one who sorts things out, the one thing that is dependable  I don’t want him going off the rails.

We will have to see what will happen over Christmas and the New Year.  It looks pretty amazing so I am really looking forward to it.

Lets hope the Doctor has got over his delusions by then.
