New Who Review for "Voyage of the Damned"

[puppetmaker]

Short version now. Longer version later when I have some time.

Please remember that spoilers are allowed in the comments.

Overall I really liked it. I thought Kylie did a great job as Astra Peth. It was a good Doctor Who version of the Poseidon Adventure .

I am grateful that Doctor Who is starting up in the Americas.

I thought the special effects in this one were top notch, but I was not impressed with Kylie Minogue. I'm not sure whether this was because Astrid - whose name is an anagram of TARDIS, and there's no lack of speculation going on about THAT - was not as fully realized a character as I'd have liked, or because Kylie was phoning it in. I liked much of the rest of the supporting cast, though. It was cool that the snotty privileged guy survived, but *didn't* have some sort of revelation and vow to Mend His Ways Henceforth. Heh.
