Waters of Mars

Ending felt a bit like the writers were trying to have their cake and eat it. I'm suspicious that it's a lead up to "actually, he can bring the rest of Time Lords back after all, he just needed to realise that". I must get around to writing up my theory about the Doctor and altering history - I don't think this totally destroys it.

A Michael Moorcock DW TV script would get me watching it. Especially if Hawkwind did the backing music. OK, I might be the only person in the country who'd watch it *g*...

I'm less certain about the book.

(Surprisingly the new episode doesn't seem to be on Torrent yet. Not that I'm bothered, it would only have to sit on my home machine until next Friday anyway...)

Having just read Terry Pratchett's "Wintersmith", my immediate thought about this latest episode was: "the Doctor's definitely cackling now!". That's apparently what the lack of human moderating rods does to him.

Oh yes.
