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.

Well, I don't agree with you at all. I liked it. I didn't OMG love it, but I think it was not that bad. DT was hot as hell, the ep was kinda funny a few times. It was not the best, but not the worse DW ep. Yeah, I liked it, even if your review scared me last evening LOL
And, yeah, Astrid was not the best character evah (and this crush/flirt/kisses thing kinda sux), but I liked her. I don't know why, and I can't explain, but before to see it I thought I will hate her (because nobody can't stand in for Rose), but she was cute, not interesting or something, but cute. (but I'm glad she's not the new companion)

I've noticed that a lot of divergence of opinion on VOTD depends on whether people liked Astrid or not. The thing is, I was prepared to love her and she was a let down for me.

But DT was hot,no arguing here.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that I liked it nor that I hated it, I just feel very 'meh' about it.
