40X2: '''Planet of the Dead''' ''[[]] [[]]''
40X3: '''Planet of the Dead''' ''[[]] [[]]''


(First watched 2009-05-15)  I kind of liked how almost the entire show went by without an appearance by the TARDIS, and even then it was just an exterior--no need for fancy dancy equipment.  Otherwise this one just felt like kind of a long episode, not as grand as some of the other 90 minute ones.  Also seemed a cop-out that he refused to bring along the thrill-seeking thief because he was no longer bringing ANYONE along, rather than because she was a thrill-seeking thief.

40X4: '''The Waters of Mars''' ''[[]] [[]]''
(First watched 2009-11-20)  Wow, the Doctor really went too far this time.  Eventually all but saying "Fuck the laws of time!  I'm the Doctor!"  I'm surprised he didn't go for a less drastic solution sooner, though.  I mean, sure, the explosion there was important to history.  But were the forensics results of any possible remains left after a nuclear blast important?  Evacuate them to a distant part of time and/or space and they'd be alive while leaving the original flow of history intact.
Also, gotta say that Adelaide's end solution seemed a bit off.  So she was convinced the timeline should've been left as it originally was, and wanted to put things closer.  But... a strange in-home suicide is not exactly going to have the same effect as a mysterious death on Mars.
