Doctor Who season 9 review

“Doctor Who” has greater challenges on Christmas Day than usual, and that is saying a lot when you consider that there are constantly challenges with putting a show on the holiday. You have to ensure that viewers are paying attention in the midst of other festivities, you have to make it at least remotely seasonal, […]

While it felt a couple of weeks ago as though the story for Clara Oswald on “Doctor Who” was coming to a rather-abrupt, depressing end, we’re now pleased to report that this was not the case in “Hell Bent.” Jenna Coleman got a chance to leave the show in a little bit happier a fashion, […]

What happens when “Doctor Who” goes completely out there with an episode, and keeps things simple in some ways stylistically? Apparently, you get one of the finest episodes that we’ve ever seen of the show. Last season, we had a story in “Listen” that provided such an aesthetic, as it tackled the issue of literal […]

Going into Saturday night’s “Doctor Who” episode “Face the Raven,” the news was already out there: This would be the last installment for Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald. The question was just how the character was going to go. This is a show that has never pretended that it is about happy endings, so we cannot say […]

One of the biggest things that we are going to commend “Doctor Who” very much for at the moment is taking risks. This is not a show to play it safe, and that is why there is such a priority in bringing back top creative minds. Unfortunately, we feel like “Sleep No More” was the […]

We admit that we were not as big of a fan of Peter Harness’ “Doctor Who” episode “Kill the Moon,” which may be sacrilege to some out there. That’s why we were at least a little bit concerned going into what could have been a polarizing episode for us. There were elements of “The Zygon […]

“Doctor Who” season 9 has taken a variety of interesting twists and turns over the past several weeks, with one of the biggest reasons why being the luxuries handed down by the show’s decision to give us two-part episodes. There are just some themes that cannot be properly explored in 45 minutes in the way […]

Sure, there were many surprising elements from Saturday’s “Doctor Who” episode entitled “The Girl Who Died.” You had The Doctor speaking with babies, Vikings, and a mystery villain. Still, it’s hard to contend against the fact that it was Maisie Williams that many out there were most excited to see. The former star of “Game […]

What makes a Time Lord? We feel like there were many questions that Saturday’s “Doctor Who” asked, but this was one of the primary ones as The Doctor was forced to confront some of his most fundamental rules in a battle with a particularly feared opponent: The Fisher King. This was a creature that may […]
