The Tenth Doctor Adventures: One Mile Down
Hey Guys,
welcome to the 3rd Volume of The Tenth Doctor Adventures and the second episode ‘One Mile Down’ in which we follow Donna and the Doctor into their vacation to the underwater city Vallarasee. It never goes well when the Doctor and Donna do holidays. The last time the got a holiday was in the episode Midnight.
Changes
The Doctor had visited Vallarasee before but then everything was different. The last time the Doctor had to wear helmets to breath and swim everywhere like the underwater part imply. But when he arrives with Donna the city is drained of the water and the people of Vallarasee has to wear the helmets to survive. The city is protected by a dome and maybe it has a few little leaks. Water always finds a way…
New friends?
So often Donna and the Doctor are making new friends and get to know new people. Obviously also in this adventure we met new people. But this time the don’t really are sympathetic. We meet Patricia. She seems nice enough at first. Truth be told I liked her the first time I listened to it and then the end happened and when I listened again and really listened to what she says, I really start to dislike her. When you are in the same situation than her, you should think about some things. She is not a bad person, she is just not thoughtful?
The second person who is around them is Garth which is a really asshole and racist. The Doctor is always searching a fight with him. I get him. This guy is so annoying.
There are at their best
Doctor and Donna are amazing in ‘One Mile Down’. The Doctor is doing his thing and Donna just being to got for the world. No for really the story is really great. The story has everything. The amazing chemistry between Donna and the Doctor, the Doctor making it his job to save everyone and Donna not letting anyone behind. Vallarasee is a great world. There is so much in this story. What Tourism can do to city’s, what people do to save their people.
There are no solution to all the problems that are shown. It is just the stories of people doing mistakes, about money about love. About change and about beauty.
