five reasons why 'planet of the dead' was actually pretty awesome: a picspam

[dear_prudence]

i gather the dr who easter special copped a bit of flack. i get that there were one or two issues, but you know what? i thought it was actually pretty good. i would like to present my evidence in picspam* form...



5. a cool monster

these guys were really interesting. they were unusual, they were genuinely scary, and unlike most other alien races, they managed to escape genocide at the hand of the doctor, which is no mean feat.

4. ten at his adorable, kooky best

i'm making the most of ten, and noticing all the little things i love about him. it's good, and kind of comforting to see him doing all his elastic faces, and being all nutsy and heroic the way he is. i'll miss him next season!

3. christina

christina is my kind of girl. she knows how to operate a winch and she has an axe in her backpack. it's great to see someone who considers themselves the doctor's equal working with him. i was pulling for her to join him and be the next companion - even if it's only for the rest of ten's run.

2. the chemistry between ten and christina

it worked. there was no mooning or pining. there was no drama or labored innuendo. they just made a great team. i think that was down to christina's character as much as anything else. i ship it.

1. malcom

malcom! adorable, lovable, fanboy! he topped the whole thing off for me. he has GOT to be a companion to 11. he's brilliant. i have nothing but love and squee for this guy :)

I have to agree with you on your list!

Malcolm was definitely the best part of PotD. :-D

he was hilarious! i hope he get's to be a companion in future. or at least become a regular popper!
