What do you think of the "War of the Masters" thing?

Nonsense - mainly because there's no "the" in "Waters of Mars. While there's certainly previous regarding anagrams hinting at the Master, they at least contain all the required letters.

Hmm, not too sure on this one, to be honest. It just seemed a bit....all over the place. :?

I really don't know, and I can't put my opinions into words for some reason.

Spoiler for the next episode:
Yay! The Master is back! :)

Another meh episode. There's very few of the new series that I feel the need to watch again, which is a shame because when its good its brilliant.

And I can't see the Doctor changing such a significant event in Earths history to save one person, after all the things he's done (or refused to do) previously.

I thought it was good. The Flood were pretty run-of-the-mill monsters, but they weren't really the focus of the episode. I really like these occasional glimpses (as in "Family of Blood", although in this case it was more than just a glimpse) of just who and what the Doctor is, and how potentially powerful he is.

Only an average ep as a whole but it did have some decent bits
I really did think the captain would shoot the doctor because of what he had done. It was nice to see him in Master mode, shows how easy it is to become that which he hated I suppose.

At least with the new doctor coming I guess we get to see the master finally do some damage to the doctor. It'd be nice to see the master escape and become future threat leaving the doctor to die/ regenerate
But I can't throw, I throw like a geek!
