I watched the "waters of Mars" last night and I can say that for the first time since I've been watching Doctor Who I didn't like it. I thought it was a very poor episode. My best friend was watching it with me and he felt the same way. I hope the next two are better.

Really? I thought the previous special was pretty bad, the one on the desert planet and double decker bus dealie.

Same, I found that episode pretty boring. Lee Evans saved that episode.. Last special was really good, good story line and how the Doctor changed something when he wasn't meant to. Hopefully the next 2 episodes will be really good!

The last three have been pretty bad in my opinion, Davies just doesn't write good stories. Looking forward to seeing the Master back, though it will probably end with a reset button being pushed at the last moment and everything going back to how it was just like in Journey's End/Last of the Time Lords/Doomsday. Also not looking forward to old companions being dredged up again, will we ever get through a season without bloody Rose?

I have no idea how we're getting out of this mess. Love Simms though. The guy is freakin' epic. O, and when David Tenant talked about what he did in the last special, and nearly cried. I shivered so much.

very odd ending i thought , where did these time lords come from?

Exactly. The whole Master jumping around and using "electric bolt things" was a bit stupid..

I'm not one to bash peoples TV choices but how Doctor Who has such a huge following absolutely staggers me.

It's just terrible. Even Robin Hood is better and that's a complete joke.

It's synonymous with British Culture since the old series was on air for nearly 40 years. That means your grandparents and parents were also fans of it.

Glad I'm not the only person who thought it was confusing, it felt like I had missed a few episodes in the run up to the penultimate episode (even though I haven't, obviously). Like, who were the Father/Daughter duo that wanted to fix that race restoration device? How is the Master still alive, even though his missus used a potion to kill him? How on earth is he more superhuman now that he's on the brink of death, but when he was on top of the world in Season 4 he wasn't?

Why couldn't the leader of the time lords say it and not spray it?

Yeah, exactly how I felt =\

Hopefully the next episode will be a lot better and straight forward. I hope they don't ruin David Tennants final episode as the Doctor.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!

      Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.

      It's the game developers' fault.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
