NEXT STOP EVERYWHERE 160: "The Waters of Mars" Is Up!


"Adelaide, I’ve done this sort of thing before.  In small ways, saved some little people.  But never someone as important as you.  Oh, I’m good!"
"Little people?!  What, like Mia and Yuri?  Who decides they’re so unimportant?  You?"
"For a long time, I thought I was just a survivor, but I’m not.  I’m the winner, that’s who I am. The Time Lord Victorious!"
"And there’s no one to stop you."
-- The Tenth Doctor and Adelaide Brooke, Doctor Who: "The Waters of Mars"
