And just like that 11’s (Matt Smith) time is done. His last adventure as the Doctor has played out across our screens, and now, we are left in the hands of Peter Capaldi’s newly arrived Doctor, although far in my opinion, his appearance in this episode was way too brief, I was hoping he…

The Day of The Doctor – Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special
Allons-y! Geronimo! That Mr. Moffat is what I call a Doctor Who episode to celebrate. While I wasn’t a big fan of the second half of series 7, there are moments and bits I like, just overall, it wasn’t the best, THIS showed what Doctor Who can be in the best way! From the…
An Adventure in Space and Time (2013) – Terry McDonough
Even as I write this, the airing of the 50th Anniversary Special for Doctor Who ticks closer, and I cannot wait, knowing I get to see David Tennant, Matt Smith and John Hurt on the screen as various incarnations of the Doctor, as well as the return of Billie Piper as Rose (in some…
Doctor Who S07E12 – The Crimson Horror
We get a Monty Python reference, a nod to previous Who companion Teagan (Janet Fielding), a classic Bond Girl, Diana Rigg, playing the villain of the piece Winifred Gillyflower, the return of Silurian Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Sontaran butler Strax (Dan Starkey) and the enchanting Jenny (Catrin Stewart). All bundled up in a script…
Doctor Who S07E11 – Journey To The Center of The TARDIS
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 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…
