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, […]
Doctor Who, Doctor Who season 8 review
“Listen” is the episode of “Doctor Who” we have been waiting for all season. Not only was it the crown jewel in Peter Capaldi’s reign as The Doctor right now, but it may also be one of the best standalone episodes of the Steven Moffat era. The biggest thing the show did that was effective […]
Will the winning streak for “Doctor Who” continue? We certainly hope so, since the show has really got the momentum going for it right now. “Listen” was the best episode of the series by a mile, and we’re hoping for these big things to continue for “Time Heist.” This episode on the surface seems at […]
Tomorrow night, “Doctor Who” returns with “Listen,” which based on early buzz may be the strongest episode of the entire season so far. It’s an episode that introduces stillness, fear, and questions about loneliness. Is anyone ever truly alone? Twelve ponders the question in a discussion with Clara, as he considers that spirits of everyone […]
Is the future looking bright for “Doctor Who“? It is certainly looking like it, at least based on some of the early buzz that we’re hearing about Saturday night’s “Listen.” The first thing that we’ve heard about this episode in particular is that this is going to be scarier than anything else you’ve seen all […]
Doctor Who, Doctor Who season 8 review
“Doctor Who” has already delivered a classic three episodes into this season, and it is one that combines almost everything we love about the show. It starts with the time travel, and the simple premise that Twelve wanted to travel back to the 1100s just to prove to Clara that Robin Hood did not actually […]
While tonight’s “Doctor Who” episode “Robot of Sherwood” took us on a unique journey back to the days of Robin hood, we are now moving back to the present, the future, or whatever other era the show chooses to be in. We’re going back into outer space! “Listen” is the first episode to give Steven […]
