The second part of this two-parter was exciting! Will the Doctor violate his principals against changing the future? What could make him do that, if anything? Apparently, Clara can. I was sad to see O’Donnell become a Fisher King victim – I really liked her! She was a fan of the Doctor’s, LOVED the Tardis, […]
The weather’s getting cooler… fireplaces are getting inspected… you know what that means, don’t you? There’s going to be a Doctor Who Christmas Special! But right now, we’re talking about Christmas Past, not Christmas Future – The Doctor’s past Christmases, that is. The BBC just announced that they’ll offer a special boxed set of past […]
Hello, Whovians! You may have been looking for Tom Gardiner’s review. I’m sorry to tell you, Tom has decided to take some time off, and I’m left to try to fill his ridiculously large shoes. I will certainly try to give you what you want – I’m a big Who fan as well. Tom always […]
BBC Three announced today an 8-episode Doctor Who spinoff, to be called Class. The series will be written by YA author Patrick Ness (The Rest of Us Just Live Here, More Than This, the Chaos Walking series). From the BBC America website: BBC Three today announces Class – a new 8 x 45 minute Doctor […]
Season 9 of Doctor Who came charging out of the gate with a fantastic 2-parter that gave us a good look inside the Daleks, in more ways than one. Now, we’re being served a good, old-fashioned newfangled ghost story set on an underwater base that’s apparently also a nuclear reactor. Nothing’s ever simple for the […]
That was a really satisfying conclusion to the season 9 opening of Doctor Who. We learned a lot about the Daleks, both through the conversations between Davros and the Doctor, and, surprisingly, through Clara’s turn inside one of the little tanks – the latter conjuring deja vu-like visions of Coleman’s first appearance as “Souffle’ Girl” […]
I love it when Doctor Who does “ghost story” episodes. The show is adept at taking what would at first appear to be a good, old-fashioned ghost and fashioning that paranormal entity into an extraterrestrial one. Learning the “whys and hows” of these ethereal entities is the fun of the story, and Under the Lake […]
Okay, I may have stretched the truth a little with that “all-Dalek” claim, because there are also some humanoids in the photos, but, technically, I’m correct since all the photos have Daleks in them. There are pictures of the Daleks standing(?) around chatting with the Doctor and Clara and there are even more pictures of […]
The Daleks are infamous for their cold, emotionless behavior. Those angry little tanks of death really know how to put the “mean” in “demeanor” like no one else. You already know it’s really easy to annoy a Dalek, the simple fact that you exist whips them into a murderous frenzy, but if you really want […]
Whoa … the Doctor Who season 9 opener was pretty damned amazing. About the only thing I didn’t like about it was having to wait another week for the conclusion of this two-part story. You’d better get used to these two-parters because most of this season will be made up of stories that take two […]
