The Doctor Who stream on Twitch reached a magical point last night: it was time for The Horns of Nimon, probably* the greatest Doctor Who story ever told. And if there's one way to gauge the greatness of a Doctor Who story, it's to take a look at the creativity it's inspired in the fandom.…
Doctor Who Not On Twitch
Tonight we reach the end of the Patrick Troughton era on the beautiful Twitch stream of almost of all of classic Who, and from here on there are no missing episodes (though a few stories, for legal reasons relating to Daleks, are being skipped.) But what about all those stories they didn’t show? Are they…
Exciting Housekeeping Things
Yikes, I haven't made a post in almost a year. I really have to stop promising myself I'll blog more each year. It's a LIE, self, it's never going to happen. Anyway, one of the reasons I haven't been writing here are those posts of what one might generously call 'reviews' of Doctor Who episodes…
Podcast Things
No, it's not the Doctor Who post in a vaguely timely fashion. I shall get to that about two hours beofre tomorrow's ep, probably. Still, I've now at least seen last week's ep. (One and five sixths thumbs up.) But, anyway, here are some VAGUELY RECENT podcast things I have been doing that I record…
Doctor Who – Extremis
So here’s the thing: I’ve been enjoying this season of Doctor Who very much, it’s fun and delightful and Bill is superb, HOWEVER, it has also been Wholly Unsurprising; other than the Doctor acquiring a professorship and more permanent Earth residence. Every story so far, I can more or less guess the plot beats if…
Doctor Who – Oxygen
JUST OUT OF TIME (I finished writing just before this week's ep, but didn't manage to post it before I watched since PROOFREADING takes time; yes, I proofread these things, yes, I know I have many typos), this week’s rather late review type thing of Doctor Who. Spoiler: I loved it lots. I may repeat…
Doctor Who – Knock, Knock
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 – 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…
