The Verdict

Planet Of The Dead: Bad. Just dull. The plot is the usual deus ex machina and there's no interesting character bits to make it interesting.
Waters Of Mars: Good. Not Great, but very watchable. The plot is generic but servicable, and the character stuff was a lot more watchable. I enjoyed this one enough to be looking forward to the final two-parter.

I wanted this t-shirt

But it was only available for a week, and then it vanished. Alas.
