I really liked Water of Mars. The only thing I didn't like was the robot. It was exactly how I like my Doctor, dark and with a sense of legend around the edges. I thought his slide into desperate arrogance was brilliantly done. The way it took all those lovable facets of the doc (his quick thinking, manic energy and sense of humour) and twisted it into something altogether more painful.
Set the ground very nicely for the Tenth's swan song. Those last few scenes he was more like the Master than himself. In serious danger of turning into the kind if being he's always fought against. I did find the episode a little uncomfortable, slightly jarring. But I think that was deliberate. There's no acceptance here of death and regeneration. He's fighting it, desperate not to die. And the whole idea of an unchangeable past is coming into question.

I've also heard him make Family Guy references, at a Zappa plays Zappa show.
