SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.

40X: Voyage of the Damned 2008 April 18
(First watched 2008-04-19) Â Not the spectacle that the last two Christmas specials were, but the 90 minute format is still nice for allowing a fuller program without the two-parter necessity of a big cliffhanger slapped in the middle.
That it's a spaceship Titanic takes away a lot of the weirdness I assumed when I saw the way the last episode ended.

401: Partners in Crime 2008 April 25
(First watched 2008-04-26) Â Those adipose things had to be the cutest fat ever. Â This was actually quite a weird circumstance, in that until the Doctor started really throwing a wrench into their plans, it really was a win-win. Â Lose fat, weird species procreates. Â Once everything went to hell, though, they had to attempt life-destroying Plan B.
So Donna! Â Interesting how her life went back to boring, so she started checking out odd happenings specifically hoping to find the Doctor again. Â Well, I guess it worked. Â Their re-meeting scene in this episode with the lipreading was pretty brilliant. Â Though I imagine legitimate lipreaders didn't quite get the same experience.
So the Doctor tossed the spare sonic screwdriver away? Â Gee, I'm sure nothing will come of that and it will safely end up in a landfill.
So... Rose? Â I'd already heard spoilers that she'd show up sometime this series, but I wasn't expecting a cameo right at the end of the first episode. Â Will she be a recurring thing like Bad Wolf, Torchwood, and Mr. Saxon were in previous series?
