Look. It was powerful shit. You donāt have to agree with the Doctor to love them. And fuck yeah, it was pretty angst.
@hideandsqueek Itās not even that they disagreed with any of the things I love about the episode. They also loved the dialogue between Ten and Lindsay Duncan, and the Time Lord Victorious (if they had any complaint, it was that he came to his senses too quickly, which i think we all said back then. We wanted a full episode of dark!Ten). They just complained about things that I didnāt remember, like poor development of some of ancillary characters, repetitive shots of the water getting in to the base, bad acting by the dude who controlled the robot, or the queerbaity-ish thing Doctor Who did all the time back then where they overtly mentioned a gay relationship off screen and acted like that was representation. All true. I just have tunnel vision when it comes toĀ āThe Waters of Marsā. :)

The good old days of Ten angst. He really did it so well. And yeah, a lot of their criticisms are valid, but when listening to their podcast I canāt help but transport back to the mindset I had in 2006-2010 when watching each episode as it aired and feel like they just donāt get it. Iām very protective of dumpster fire Ten.
@j-philly-b And like they said, they are sort of done with talking about how awesome David Tennant is, and I think they are wary of stanning him too hard. (To which I would say, not possible.)Ā
