Voyage of the Damned is better than I remembered, too. Lightweight, as the specials tend to be, but some gorgeous images and a cracking cast (Kylie's great, and Tennant's performance gives the weaker material one hell of a boost). As with the Master trilogy, fandom made it all but impossible to enjoy the story at the time. With that taste of ashes no longer in my mouth, it was a pleasure to just watch it for itself. (Jon provided commentary in the form of reading out funny bits from Writer's Tale. :)
Mr. Copper says: "Of all the people to survive, he's not the one you would have chosen, is he? But if you could chose, Doctor, if you could decide who lives and who dies - that would make you a monster."
Ohhhhhh shit.
(Although of course I'm still waiting for the line about becoming a vengeful god to pay off.)

Bwa! A blockbuster pastiche makes sense as a holiday treat, but all the misery must've caused a lot indigestion of Xmas turkeys.
too focused on the individual stories
Sometimes too focussed on individual lines. We all bring our own set of lenses through which we see the show (I'm all about the h/c, for example) but larger patterns are invisible except to the naked eye. How many times now have we mistaken a cliffhanger for a terribly sad ending?
