Even the Doctor (David Tennant) trying to look his coolest couldn't prevent Planet of the Dead (2009) being a pretty average Easter special.

Daleks, Cybermen, The Master, Tegan, Ace.... coming soon!

Pity it's written by Chibnall.

[iank]

Could. Not. Care. Less.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Although i liked the look of the episode and thought the Sea Devils looked great the writing was again shite.

The main plot was the Sea Devils were going to flood the entire planet killing all non-aquatic life.

Even the Silurians.

It's just badly thought through rubbish. And that's before we get to Whitaker and co.

I could cry knowing who is writing these characters.

Just know it's going to be a big stinking pile of poo and a insult too these great characters , just seems a act of desperation hoping that he can hook people in with nostalgia.

I'll not be watching any of these specials , well might watch the last just too see her killed off.

Will probably give the new series a try when it's out but not getting my hopes up.
