At this very moment, our level of excitement about Saturday’s new “Doctor Who” season 8 episode is a little all over the place, and for a very specific reason: We’re not a fan of spiders. At all. As a matter of fact, we could barely sit through the sneak peek below, and these things hardly […]
Doctor Who, Doctor Who season 8 review
Tonight’s episode of “Doctor Who” was entitled “The Caretaker,” and we imagine that it may for many be somewhat polarizing. Not everyone wants to watch this show to hear about relationships, but for us, we really enjoyed the way in which the story for Clara and Danny Pink came together. Basically, this story explored very […]
Tonight on “Doctor Who,” we probably got the biggest window into the soul of Clara Oswald as we learned that she legitimately loved Danny Pink, and he in turn ended up finding out about the whole operation. These were powerful moments, but what we’ve learned about this series is that they really do not dwell […]
This weekend’s all-new “Doctor Who” will be more than a little bit different than every other that we’ve seen over the season, mostly because the entire premise is different. Rather than The Doctor taking Clara on some mission in another time or place, he is entering Clara’s world … and her school. For the time […]
Given how little at times we have of the Doctor in what we personally believe to be the “modern” era, we are happy to be seeing “Doctor Who” this coming weekend opting to spend quite a bit of time there with “The Caretaker.” Plus, we’ve grown to be rather fond of the Danny Pink character, […]
Doctor Who, Doctor Who season 8 review
Sometimes, watching a “Doctor Who” episode is relatively akin to going to a restaurant, where every week they have a tiny menu of all-new specials. Sometimes, you love the soup of the day, and other times you’re going to opt for the solid. Last week’s “Listen” was almost akin to a delicate portion of fish, […]
We have to say that after the stellar work that Steven Moffat and company put into “Listen,” Saturday’s new episode of “Doctor Who” entitled “Time Heist” was simply “very good” rather than phenomenal. There were some funny moments and a much larger cast of characters, but we cannot imagine The Doctor as James Bond being something […]
Production on the “Doctor Who” Christmas Special is now underway, and with that comes a big announcement: We also know now who one of the show’s major guest-stars is going to be! The BBC confirmed today that Nick Frost, frequent collaborator of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s, is set to appear in the big episode […]
One of the reasons we feel like “Listen” was a classic episode of “Doctor Who” was because it combined a little bit of what we love about the show (imagination) with an interesting way of telling a universal story about fear. The show is sometimes better when the stakes are actually raised, and you have […]
The biggest thing we are worried about for this coming episode of “Doctor Who” is really at this point rather simple: Expectations. We feel for “Time Heist” given that it is coming after “Listen,” which may just be one of the best episodes of the Steven Moffat era. It simplified things, focused on the characters, […]
