Way to pull a George Lucas, RTD!

2009 Thanksgiving Special "The Waters of Mars"

I finally got around to watching the Thanksgiving special. I don't have much to say. I spent the first 40 minutes or so trying not to fall asleep. I spent the rest of it screaming "What the fuck?" at the TV. I do kind of like the callback to the idea that he needs someone to tell him when to stop (Hi Donna!). But seriously RTD, three episodes left and this is what you give us? REALLY? You are a crazy person who has lost...

...wait, I just had a thought. Maybe RTD has made the Doctor all power mad (it certainly seemed to be there in that last special with everyone gushing about how awesome he is) so that we'll start to dislike him and be ready for the new guy when he dies instead of mourning the loss of David Tennant. There's no way RTD is that smart though, is he? There's no way. There's no way the man who purposely plotted that Davros/Donna/everyone the Doctor's ever met shitstorm could ever be that clever. And if he was that clever, you'd think he'd at least be making the stories interesting as he's making us hate the Doctor.

Whatever. I am not looking forward to The End of Time. Gee RTD, thanks for ruining my childhood (and by childhood I mean two years ago when I started watching Doctor Who)!
