Doctor Who | Reaction & Review "The Waters of Mars" 

*Channel schedule for this week* Wednesday - FMAB Thursday - Doctor Who Friday - Death Note Saturday - Dark Sunday - Vinland

still, one of my favs EVER. Dope reaction my g. Welcome back and set up looking good. Hope all is well

Doctor: "Master, Im sorry." Master: "Tough." - Uptopia Series 3 Adelaide: "No one should have that much power." Doctor: "Tough." Master: "Im the Master and you will obey me!" Doctor: "The laws of time are mine and they will OBEY me!" Its crazy how similar The Doctor came to becoming The Master. This is why he needs a companion. They give him the humanity he needs and guide him as to not becoming an immortal god of time.

this episode was filmed in a botanical garden near me in wales and we got to go there and see all the props etc including the tardis, we also got to watch the episode before it aired on tv was a crazy experience as a kid in love with this series

I think by saving the crew he was trying to change a fixed point in time - but not for their sakes but his own. He wanted to see if he could change his own fixed death. By seeing that he couldn't change her fate, he realized that he can't change his fate and that he went off the doctors way.

Knew you would appreciate this one Im. The shift actually subtly happened a little earlier than you think: “The laws of time are mine, and they WILL OBEY ME!!!” What’s that expression about ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’? While trying to do a compassionate thing he ends up releasing his dark side. What did Donna say? “Sometimes I think you need someone to stop you”. He’s definitely travelled alone for too long at this point.

What an episode this was. The acting, storyline, set, camera work, the music. Unbelievable.

Yep, Tennant was fantastic in this. And Lindsay Duncan is always good ;) I loved what they did with this episode, this Doctor who just doesn't care anymore. Evidently, losing everyone and travelling on his own took a toll on him. He's scary, but I can't help but to feel bad for him. And yet, I find myself wanting at least a few episodes with the Time Lord Victorious.

The original monster design was scarier, they changed it to be less terrifying... it's still scary.

He does arrogant so well ... he's gone through so much, lost so much, he lost it completely - and the rebound had to be equally deep and dark.

Agree about the music... one thing we lost from s11 onwards was murray gold... he's sorely missed...

So excited to watch this when I get home. For years this was my favorite DW episode S9E11 was the one who finally beat it out as my fav. This one reigned for nearly 6 years.

This was an incredible episode and is my favourite in the show. I agree with most things you said but I think that Adelaide didn't do it too shock The Doctor but mainly because she was trying to correct time. It's incredible to see what travelling alone can do to The Doctor and how far he can go without a companion

This is the first time I've seen it suggested that the suicide is aimed at affecting the Doctor. I think that's a far too Doctor centric view and Adelaide's only interest is in maintaining the timeline - her family's in particular.

Off-topic: I like your light art behind you. At first I thought it was one of those Tix Clocks, but I think it's just for atmosphere.

The Dr victorious is a scary concept. Just like the guide from the Voyage of the Damned said. If you could choose who lives or dies, then what does that make you. Or something like that

Great reaction, and very well put - the need for a companion, as Donna said, the parallels with the Master, and never asking to be thanked.

The Master in Utopia : ''Tough.'' Edit: 19:56 YES! The Doctor in Waters of Mars: ''Tough.'' The Master's catchphrase: ''I am The Master, and you will obey me!'' The Doctor: ''The laws of time are mine, *and they will obey me!!''*

It's crazy how Eccleston asking to save everybody "just this once" is so uplifting. Whilst Tennat fighting time to save everyone feels the opposite. We have this defeated Dr who, even though he saved the world, payed a terrible price and his fighting against his own death. It's just so heartbreaking how well it's done

The track is called Vale (well technically timelord victorious but thats a spin off of Vale) which means "farewell" Latin. Its signifying the end of a song. It's cool knowing The Doctor can hear the singing in his head as the Ood are telepathic and are singing via telepathy.

Great choice for the thumbnail. Definitely the best shot of the episode

One of my favourite episodes

This is, for my money, Tennant's finest performance in the role. It would also have been the perfect end for the Tenth Doctor. I'm not a fan of his final episodes and I think it would have been more compelling if his hubris had cost him here. As a story it highlights how close the Doctor is to becoming the Master when pushed.

This is one of my al time favorite episodes of Doctor Who, I've been waiting for you to get to this one for over a year I can't wait to watch

One of my favourite 10th stories tbh

Oh wow I haven't watched this in so long. It's one of my favorites though.

Really waiting for AOT reaction, but still leaving likes under the every video

One of my favorite episodes of Dr. Who.

Not me bawling over my phone screen. Totally unsanitary

Best episode of the whole show.

Easily one of the best episodes.

One single line in this episode sparked an entire multi-media spanning storyline more than a decade later with the Timelord Victorious arc. It spanned audio dramas, books, comics, figurines and even a RU-vid series with Daleks. The Waters of Mars episode showcase what would happen when the Doctor is desperate enough that he is willing to cross a line that he never dared before. There's an audio drama (part of the Timelord Victorious arc that acts as a prequel) called Genetics of the Daleks that feature the Fourth Doctor and a Dalek who survived the destruction of his time squad at the hands of his future incarnation. The Dalek basically warns the Doctor that he will become a warrior without morality, "a being willing to break the laws of time, a being willing to commit genocide...The Timelord Victorious"

The best lines were: "Who's going to save you?" "Captain Adelaide Brooks."

Definitely an instant classic. Frequently in people's top ten lists.

Speaking of _Life on Mars,_ you may want to check out the series of that name with John Simm.

Waters of Mars is a personal favorite of mine. It's been 11 years since I first saw it and it still gives me the heebies.

The Doctor really goes off the rails in this episode. You can see how he has it in him to be like the Master and it's chilling.

Eccleston = still my Doctor.

Never realized that was Gemma Chan in this episode, till now

great reaction/review!

So fun fact, the actress playing Maggie (the one who let herself be captured) was also in the recent Dune movie. Gone from the Flood to drought.

Best episode of all time

love Tennents acting in this episode
