The script writing of The Waters Of Mars by Russell T. Davies along with collaborator Phil Ford is some of the most solid during the Tennant era of Doctor Who. The standalone special episode runs at a little over an hour, but works and flows as flawlessly as a feature film. While there are many references to the Doctor’s own personal journey before this escapade and after this one, including his destiny (as well as events that would ultimately lead to the Eleventh, Matt Smith incarnation), the standalone episode leaves no element unused, but also addresses some darker matters about the Doctor himself...
