I’m sorry to say it. After the goodwill last week’s episode built up, this one just kind of squandered it again. I just couldn’t get into this episode, I liked the glimpses we got of other rooms in the TARDIS, but over all, I just felt let down. And I have to tell you……

Doctor Who S07E10 – Hide
I realize I’m a week behind on this one, but hey, I was on vacation and covering a film festival! But what an ep! The cloister bell rings, there’s a knock 4 times, there’s ghosts and monsters, some fun banter, and a little more investigation into the mysterious companion. Neil Cross penned this episode,…
Doctor Who S07E10 – Cold War
Mark Gatiss reintroduces the ice warriors of Mars to the world of Doctor Who as The Doctor (Matt Smith) and Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) find themselves aboard a Soviet Sub in 1983. This is probably the strongest of the stories since Clara became The Doctor’s companion, although David Warner seems completely wasted in his ole…
Doctor Who S07E08 – The Rings of Akhaten
Neil Cross pens this week’s episode which sees Clara the impossible girl (Jenna-Louise Coleman) leaving the planet for the first time, having decided to go with the Doctor (Matt Smith). It’s a story of lullabies, memories, stories and the lives of those we miss and lost. While still not the strongest episode of this…
Doctor Who S07E07 – The Bells of Saint John
What if there was something in the wi-fi? Something living, something reaping the human consciousness and uploading it into cyberspace to build its own intelligence? Doctor Who finally returned last night with a few changes, most of them fairly welcome. I like the new desktop theme for the console room, I like The Doctor’s (Matt Smith)…
Doctor Who Christmas Special 2012 – The Snowmen
So Steven Moffat brings us our annual dose of Who Christmas, as well as adding something else to the once-normal-but-now-to-be-feared list, and while the adventure itself is fun and features Richard E. Grant and the voice of Ian McKellen, its most enjoyable in its continuing quest to discover who is Clara Oswin Oswald?!? This…
Happy Birthday Doctor!
I first came across Doctor Who in the early 80s, as most of my generation did, on PBS. There was this tall goofy looking guy (Tom Baker) with big hair, and an even bigger scarf talking about Daleks and jelly babies with a robot dog in tow called K-9, who travelled around in a rectangular blue box…
Natasha Eloi Part 3
Welcome to the 3rd and final part of our chat with Natasha Eloi! We had such a good time with Natasha, and we can’t wait to have her come and visit us in the studio, and perhaps bring some of her cool collectables and toys! In this final installment we chat about our favorite…
Doctor Who S07E05 – The Angels Take Manhattan
***SPOILERS BELOW*** This is the episode where we say goodbye to the Ponds. It’s also the episode that showed me why I love Moffat’s writing, because no matter what some tend to think of his stories, and this one is a corker, you’re emotionally attached to these characters. You feel for them, you worry…
Doctor Who S07E04 – The Power of Three
This isn’t your typical Doctor Who story, and I think that’s why I like it as much as I do. Penned by Chris Chibnall this gentle, character focussed episode takes the Ponds out of the Doctor’s life, and puts him into theirs. It’s no secret that this is the penultimate episode for the Ponds,…
