So, I watched 'The Waters of Mars' last night on BBC iPlayer. Overall verdict? Meh.

First off, the good points. 1) Mars. 2) The base, which actually did look a bit space-colony-like. 3) The biodome, which was kind of cool. 4) The Doctor gets called on his dickish-ness.

And now the bad points. 1) Another re-visit of MR GOD DOCTOR, which seems to be an obsession of Russell T Davies's. Thank you, Mr Davies, one Jesus was quite enough. Also, the Time Lord Victorious, which could perhaps be re-interpreted as the Time Lord Egocentricous.

Point 2), Gadget Gadget == Stupid Stupid. Why did they ever think that was a good idea?

3) The antagonist, which wasn't really either very scary or very convincing. If it can magically summon vast quantities of water, apparently without limit, why doesn't it just do so and flood Mars? Why go to all the trouble of stealing a rocket?

4) The absence of sympathetic characters. Adelaide was a little bit, but not in public. The black girl didn't do anything annoying, but then she got killed off too quickly to have the chance. All of the rest of them were a bit dick-ish.

5) The plot-holes and foreshadowing fails, like that shot of what looked like a small moon colliding with the Earth. That was never followed up or explained.

So, overall, meh. It could've been worse and to be fair, I didn't have anything better to do with that hour, but it still wasn't exactly stunningly brilliant.
