Doctor Who returned this week and is finally under way with the normalcy of its 9th Season. Now when I say “normalcy”, I don’t mean that in a bad way. As you can imagine, Season premiers – like Season finales – are usually entities all to themselves in terms of complexity and action. In many…
The Doctor, Clara and Missy are back and if you thought last week’s Season Premier was an emotional roller coaster – you haven’t seen anything yet! How can the Doctor survive Davros and the Daleks? What does the episode title mean? What’s in store for the rest of the season? This and more will be…
After what’s seemed like an eternity, Doctor Who has finally returned to BBC – although something was different! The Season 9 premier was a strange amalgam of Who History and never before seen scenarios/choices. Rather than set things up slowly, this premier hit you hard right from the start and kept hitting till the very…
The most magical time of year is upon us again. No not Christmas, San Diego Comic Con! Whether you love Toys, Collectibles, Video Games, BBC Classics, Walking Dead, TV Series or Blockbuster films of any kind (Marvel, DC, novel adaptations, etc), there is ample reason to be excited for this event. Though not everyone can…
With The Christmas Special behind us, we can now start looking forward to the 9th Season of Doctor Who. So what do we want to see next season? What do we NOT want to see? This past season has been pretty divisive with people either loving it or hating it – or both. Though as…
Convoluted plot lines, crazy WTF moments and an overarching plot of dreams within a dream . . . Seriously, why did it take this long for Doctor Who to do an Inception-themed episode? Considering Moffat loves being ‘convoluted for the sake of being convoluted’, this was the perfect vehicle by which to give fans more…
So ends one of the most polarizing seasons of Doctor Who yet. This episode perfectly combined everything of this season, while also bringing in many aspects of the series past. If there was something you hated about this Season, it was included in this finale; but so too were all the amazing parts. There’s a…
This Season of Doctor Who has overall been glorious. Between Peter Capaldi’s new Doctor and the darker tone throughout this season, it finally feels like fantastical show is grounded once again. True that last week’s episode – “In The Forest of the Night” was less than stellar, but from the looks of things that was just…
Named after the William Blake poem The Tyger – yes there was a tiger in this episode – “In the Forest of the Night” is the 10th episode of Season 8 Doctor Who; as well as the last episode before the two-part finale. That’s right, the finale is already upon us. So what did this…
If you’ve ever read Flatland by Edwin A Abbott, then you were well prepared for all the spatially abstract WTF-ness that this week’s episode of Doctor Who entitled “Flatline” brought to the table. “Flatline” had all the makings of a suspenseful/scary episode like “Blink” and “Listen”; but sadly missed the “relatability”. Though despite all this…
