Doctor Who: Waters of Mars was
( SPOILER! ). For instance, yet again
( SPOILER! ), but at least there was
( SPOILER! ). I can't tell you how much I loved the whole of
( SPOILER! )'s performance. She was just awesome throughout, and her character was actually
( SPOILER! ), which I NEVER thought I would see from a female character in a Rusty script.
I also loved
( SPOILER! ), and Tennant's performance in this bit was
( SPOILER! ). But, inevitably,
( SPOILER! ) showed his face, and that was
( SPOILER! ) although props to
( SPOILER! ). It's feeling all Cartmel Masterplan to me, and (aside from
( SPOILER! )), the main thing I am looking forward to about the Christmas special is that the Rusty/Tennant era will finally be over. I am sick of being beaten over the head with perfectly obvious plot points, and (I know I have said this before, but it needs saying again) it's coming to something when
the kiddies' spin off of Doctor Who is written in a far more intelligent and interesting way than the main series.
If there's one thing, just one thing, I am hoping for from the reign of The Grand Moff, it's that he realises that "more adult" does not mean "more sex, more gore and bigger explosions" but actually "more intelligent". I have my problems with the misogynistic son of a Zygon, but he does at least seem to have a brain. Let's hope he uses it.
Top Gear, on the other hand, was
( SPOILER! ). The stagedness is getting more and more obvious, and it's less of a motoring show and more of an entertainment show with every series, but honestly, I don't care. Mat took the piss out of me for
( SPOILER! ), though. Rotten git.
