NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 160: "The Waters of Mars" Is Up!

"Adelaide, I’ve done this sort of thing before.  In small ways, saved some little people.  But never someone as important as you.  Oh, I’m good!"

"Little people?!  What, like Mia and Yuri?  Who decides they’re so unimportant?  You?"

"For a long time, I thought I was just a survivor, but I’m not.  I’m the winner, that’s who I am. The Time Lord Victorious!"

"And there’s no one to stop you."

-- The Tenth Doctor and Adelaide Brooke, Doctor Who: "The Waters of Mars"

Hello again, everyone!  Special guest companion Lee Leonard returns to Next Stop Everywhere: The Doctor Who Podcast to help me discuss "The Waters of Mars", the Doctor Who Autumn 2009 Special, featuring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Lindsay Duncan as Adelaide Brooke, Gemma Chan as Mia Bennett, and Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Maggie Cain!

In this episode, Lee and I discuss things like Lee feeling under the weather, Phil Ford finally writing for Doctor Who, Lee enjoying dark episodes of Doctor Who, Lindsay Duncan on Rome, Gemma Chan going on to more notable roles, wondering what happened to the Doctor using a display to tell him where and when he landed, investing in Doctor Who on Blu-Ray, Adelaide being zero fun and wanting everyone to do their jobs, Wikipedia entries being used as a expository storytelling device, the Doctor still being affected by the events of "The Fires of Pompeii", the Doctor as a Vashta Nerada, Steffi's powerful death scene, the creepy spasming of people being transformed by the Flood, wondering why Maggie took a longer time to transform, the Ice Warriors not having a direct connection to the Flood, Lee almost drowning twice as a kid, "The Waters of Mars" being a great story for the Hinchcliffe Era, the Tenth Doctor's dark turn into the Time Lord Victorious, the Tenth Doctor's arrogance and egocentrism, the Tenth Doctor's fear of dying and his stages of grief, Lee watching Doctor Who with his girlfriend, our favorite quotes of the episode, my Reverse the Polarity segment, new feedback from David K. Proctor, Paul from Australia and Holly Mac, Lee looking for a new singer for his band, teasing our final episode of 2019, and more!
