Voyage of the Damned

DISAPPOINTMENT OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.


Ten was pretty ?

That's about the only good thing that comes to my mind right now, SADLY.

There was no plot, the secondary characters where UNBELIEVABLY irritating and the whole thing looked ridiculous about 90% of the time.

ETA : okay I *loved* Russell Tovey (History Boys <3) and the fact that his character was named Alonzo XD
He would have made a fantastic companion.
The rest of the characters were still rubbish though.


Astrid Peth was so BLAND, I just couldn't give a toss about her !
Oh Martha, your win is sorely missed.

And moments like the Doctor carried away by the angels and the flight of the Titanic above Buckingham Palace made me facepalm so hard I almost hurt myself.

I'll sleep on it and wait to see if a second watching makes it better, I really hope so.



Fortunately the series 4 teaser ROCKED like a ROCKING thing OMG.

I just want a mate !
You're not mating with me, sunshine.

AND THEY'RE SNOGGING !

I'm so thrilled that Ten and Donna are snogging that it almost erased the whole EPIC FAIL that was this christmas special.

I'm shipping them hardcore. *squees*



I think I'll have to erase all my Ten/Astrid icons now *shudders*


EDIT : I'm also all weirded out by the new music theme, thank you very much.

It wasn't brilliant but it wasn't awful.

I thought Astrid was just Generic Companion, really.

Shame there was no plot cos then it would have been brilliant.

Also, Astrid/Ballacafatala FTW.

I was cringing *a lot*.

Astrid was just that : generic. I wasn't very moved by her story.

The nonexistent plot made me go WTF during 71 minutes. I don't deny that it had its moments of fun and that Ten's hotness burned me but it felt very very hollow.

Astrid/Ballacafatala FTW.

Well they both were cringeworthy in my book so I can't really back you up on this :-/

I realise that my expectations were far to high and that I may be not objective at all, though ! And it still deserves a second viewing.
