It’s late, I know. And ACTUALLY late, not just in the same week, but not as timely as I’d like late. NEVER MIND. Let’s cast our minds back a week and a bit to what was at the time MAYBE my new fav episode of the series. But now it has definitely settled down just…
Doctor Who
Doctor Who – Thin Ice
So last week's Doctor Who was PRETTY DARNED GREAT. Here are SOME WORDS about how great it was (if you don't want words, I was also talking about this ep on last week's Teevee podcast with me Verity! cohort Erika Ensign, and Jason Snell): SO PRETTY. I do like a pretty episode and this ep…
Doctor Who – Smile
There was a Jessica Jones ep called Smile, wasn't there? I ASSUME THAT BODES WELL. (it did not bode as well as I thought it might, alas.) I do love it every time the Doctor admits he stole the TARDIS. I don't know why. It just delights me. Much like the Doctor OH SO DELICATELY…
Doctor Who – The Pilot
Doctor Who is back on the tellybox! HURRAH! And so begins a new exciting series of NOT REVIEWS on this blog. Now you might be asking, possibly, heh, didn’t you do these so-called non-reviews last season of Doctor Who and NOT ACTUALLY FINISH? And, yes, that is correct. So, I shall be, er, finishing off…
Five Tom Baker Stories Every Doctor Who Fan Should Watch
I say "should", but y'know, I don't want to gatekeep or the like; you might really not like the Fourth Doctor, in which case, sure, I JUDGE you, but I don't want you to be miserable watching Fourth Doctor stories when you could be having a yayful time watching Pertwee or the Other Baker or…

Friday Flail of Yay
I am sleeping so badly this week. And I know part of it's down to ridic anxiety with the world at large. Not even mental health related anxiety, since I really don't think it's irrational to be anxious given the daily news of what's going on. As my dear friend Deb Stanish put it on…
Everything I Thought About the Shiny New Third Doctor Comic
So the lovely folk at Titan have been doing a great and excellent thing and that is making classic Who comics. And I Quite Loved the Fourth Doctor one despite my distrust and confusion re comics, so clearly getting the Third Doctor one was going to happen. It was a very good choice. Everything I…

Hugo Nomination Recs: Best Fancast
The Best Fancast category in the Hugo Awards is the newest category of the awards; 2016 will only be the fifth year it's been contested. It's also the category that, IIRC, gets the least number of nominations and least number of votes. And this saddens me, cause it's also one of the most important categories…
Top 10 Tips for Being a Doctor Who Companion
I just watched the latest edition of the Doctor Who Fan Show, Tops Tips for Being a Companion, which made me Slightly Irate. For there were a bunch of lazy jokes about old skool Who costumes, ankle-twisting, and screaming. As jokes go about old telly, these are bleh; as jokes go on the official BBC…

HamilWho
Hello, lovely people! I spent an hour or so of today engaged on a terrible enterprise. Hamilton, that wildly successful musical (I say, just in case you don't know what the dickens I'm on about), has been mashed up with all sorts of other fandoms in all sorts of ways because Hamilton is kind of…
