Planet of the Dead

Courtesy of Youtube, I finally have a chance to watch the Doctor Who Easter special. My thoughts thus far:

1) it's a damn shame Tennant's leaving

2) the 2008/09 version of the theme is rediculous.

3) "aw, the little dish is going around" is funny, but does not beat "it goes ding when there's stuff."

4) Thanks to Star Trek, turbulance acting never convinces me.

5) The plot evidently concerns a bus in the middle of a desert. Feels like a budget cutback to me.

6) Now they're doing the "what's your real name" routine. At least without the TARDIS in sight, there won't be any "it's bigger on the inside."

7) Doctor following orders is funny.

8) "The smell inside this thing is reaching quite atrocious levels." So stop sweating. Funny.

9) Ooookay, the UIT hero-worship is kinda silly.

10) Look, a crashed spaceship. Look, the interior set appears to be a single corridor.

Okay, that's the first half. Next half coming after lunch.
