REview of Doctor Who Waters of MArs - Spoilers
The Doctor
The Ending reminds me of Death Comes to TIme, good build up but
ends of a sour note.
Nice to see a mention of the Dalek and the Ice Warriors (nostalgia
works for me).
Start pretty good (THe Doctor gets blamed for the start of an incident).
Ancient MArs (Anyone recalls the Fendahl tkaing MARs out).
What kills it for me The Time Lord Victorious.
Thank RTD for the religious mockery in GridLock
AND moral the power nuttiness in the end of Water of MArs.
Instead Adelaide commits suicide in meaninglessness
(meninglessness and purposelessness is a major RTD Theme)
and shakes the Doctor.
1) Bring back Gallifrey! I doubt they are 'dead'
(Note how many time the Daleks have reappeared from the Time War)
2) Get back to meaningful themes.
If Moffatt going along with meaninglessness of life like RTD
both RTD and Moffatt are going to make JN-T look like a genius!

You do realise the megalomaniacal Doctor is *meant* to be a bad thing?

Which is what she intended to do. It's not meaningless at all, this is her
taking control away from the Time Lord Victorious, and restoring the
timeline to some extent.
