Tread Perilously begins the Christmas season with a return visit
to the TARDIS for "Voyage of the Damned."
After leaving Martha behind on Earth and getting a brief visit from
his fifth incarnation, the Doctor crashes into the prow of the
Titanic. After fixing that error, he discovers the ship is
an alien vessel in Earth orbit loaded with humanoid aliens on a
Christmastime cruise. But wicked business dealings lead to the ship
getting hit by meteors (or is it meteoroids?). In the ensuing
chaos, the Doctor must help a handful of tourists escape certain
doom. He also must save Buckingham Palace from a Christmas Day
calamity.
Erik and Justin get confused over the definitions of meteoroid,
meteorite and meteor. Erik discovers the true source of his sour
feelings toward Kylie Minogue and Justin decries the notion of
"timey-wimey." Both stumble when saying name "Bannakaffalatta"
while a discussion of the May-December romance tendency in film
leads to a consideration of the Marylin Monroe mystique. They also
discover space corporations are culpable for the deaths they
cause.
But will "Voyage of the Damned" prove to be Justin's favorite
Tennant Era Doctor Who story?
