Marooned on Mars

[davidn]

What's everyone talking about? The Waters of Mars isn't a Blink-beater by any stretch of the imagination - I know I really don't get to say this often, but you're all a bunch of pansies. An unknown water parasite that makes people look like Timo Tolkki is good for an episode as far as ideas go, but somehow I felt that it was never really explored as much as it should have been.

The last bit was interesting, to see what's happening to the Doctor as a character in the run-up to his replacement, and it was nowhere near as bad as the Easter special - but I can't help but feel that if Steven Moffat had handled it, he would probably have made people scared of drinking water for weeks.

That's kind of what I thought of it - it was a bit like an ordinary episode that had been dragged out for a bit longer, but with that one really good bit where The Doctor goes power mad tagged on at the end.
