Doctor Who Series 4
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.

40X: Voyage of the Damned 2008 April 18
(First watched 2008-04-19) 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) Those adipose things had to be the cutest fat ever. 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. Lose fat, weird species procreates. Once everything went to hell, though, they had to attempt life-destroying Plan B.
So Donna! Interesting how her life went back to boring, so she started checking out odd happenings specifically hoping to find the Doctor again. Well, I guess it worked. Their re-meeting scene in this episode with the lipreading was pretty brilliant. Though I imagine legitimate lipreaders didn't quite get the same experience.
So the Doctor tossed the spare sonic screwdriver away? Gee, I'm sure nothing will come of that and it will safely end up in a landfill.
So... Rose? 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. Will she be a recurring thing like Bad Wolf, Torchwood, and Mr. Saxon were in previous series?
