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 liked Astrid. But I've also been a fan of Kylie's since the 80s. I don't think she was "phoning it in" per se, but playing the role of the "oh gee wow" mixed with "crap, we're all gonna die" rather well.

I've seen "phoning it in" before, hell, I watched Season 8 of SG-1. Richard Dean Anderson, THAT was phoning it in.

Kylie? Not so much.

Speculation that Kylie may have been "phoning it in" is IMO; it certainly doesn't have to be yours.

It's possible that someone who sat down and watched Richard Dean Anderson's season 8 SG-1 performance would have a different level of tolerance for such things than I do. *g*
