Interesting fact "Waters of Mars" is an anagram for "Wars of Master"

Oh not the goddamn wordplay crap again. Does Davies have any other tricks up his sleeves?

[Captain Seafort]

The anagrams have been around for far longer than RTD - the earliest I know of was Tremas in the early 80s, and they might have been around in Delgado's incarnation.

Ugh I'm sick of Davies' Dr Who. The bombastic music alone drives me up the wall.

I quite like the looks of this, this seems more in along the lines of Torchwood's smash hit "Children of Earth" and "Midnight" in terms of tone, it also has Lindsay Duncan as a guest star.

Have you got more information on this one than us, BO? I admit I've not been actively seeking out information on these tv movies.

The trailer doesn't give me any indication that we're going to get an attempt to cover a moral issue in the manner that the Children of Earth "smash hit" (I would pay you to stop adding two word "critic-style" descriptives in front of episode titles, btw, they wind me up just enough that I always end up being goaded into responding! ). I'd love to think that it was going to be good and in line with Children of Earth (although not midnight, I don't see why you praise 'midnight' so much - sure it was one of the better ones of S4, but that's not saying much for me), but it doesn't inspire confidence in me as a trailer. Just looks like more of the same.

We still get shots of the Doctor looking... well, that gormless, wide-eyed, lips slightly jutted out 'something bad is happening which I don't understand and I'm a timelord, so I should know' expression that seems to have become DT's signature. We still get the horrendously unsubtle forshadowing - (I'm sorry, I just can't take someone who says 'your song is ending' as a threat against a man who regenerates - and we all know he regenerates and who he regenerates into- as a portent of doom, give us some actual consequences!*** We still have (and this is a bit picky of me) the godawful typewriter / war of the worlds font. We have what I bet will be the usual RTD military officer, pointing a gun, shouting a lot and blindly following orders. Oh, and of course we have the companions who are supposed to be dead or busy or... on their honeymoon ... back, and no big surprise that the trailer makes it clear who the true villain behind this! They did it for the episode Dalek, which just seemed bizarre. Why blow the big awesome reveal? Even though we knew it was coming, the Dalek reveal in Doomsday was good, and it was good in Dalek too, but it would have been much better if it was actually kept under wraps.

***I thought it would have been quite cool if they'd had Rose come back in Stolen Earth, but had it somehow occur by coincidence in the same year as the Impossible Planet - then they could actually have killed her and had 'the valiant child doomed to die in battle so very soon' actually come true as a prophecy! Plus then they could have done something with Badwolf, which remains the thing I was really massively irritated by in Turn Left and the finales - they were a let down, but I was genuinely excited by the Badwolf moment, and was really wondering where it was going to tie in in the finales... hah.
