Doctor Who “Cold War” – Review
“Steam in the subway, earth is a afire.” If no one else is going to sing Duran Duran with David Warner in Russian while trapped at the bottom of the ocean with one of Elon Musk’s cousins, I will! This is genuinely…

Doctor Who “The Rings Of Akhaten” – Review
One of only two Clara-heavy episodes in this series (or this half of the series) that includes mythology, is a bit mad in places, and yet I enjoy it. Am I ill? No, but it is all correct that Clara, the woman…
Doctor Who “The Bells of Saint John” – Review
“Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clement’s;” I almost liked this one, said the guy watching “The Bells of Saint John.” Right, so after a lot of piddling about and doing a bit of a dance with the merry old…
Doctor Who “The Snowmen” – Review
The time period is Victorian-ish. There is no companion, and the Doctor is mopey and dejected. Ahh, Clara must be about! Her, the lizard lesbian, Mr. Potato head, and Jenny all show up. Let’s get it out the way right now. I…
Doctor Who “The Angels Take Manhattan” – Review
Writing an ending to a story is one of the hardest things to do, crafting something that ties up as many ends as possible while also being satisfying. When I started writing reviews, I hated the ending. I knew the conclusions, but…

Doctor Who “A Town Called Mercy” – Review
Oh, it was like Thatcher’s death around me on Thursday afternoon. I was singing about a witch being dead, dancing, and generally being overly happy about the whole state of affairs. For those of you who don’t know, Chibnall has been given…
Doctor Who: Chibnall’s Gone, What’s Next?
Oh, this was a good thing to hear after he announced that Series 13 will be one long story and the trailer to this sci-fi adventure showed zero aliens. The fact that Chris Chibnall is leaving Doctor Who shouldn’t be a cause for…
Doctor Who “Dinosaurs On A Spaceship” – Review
Well, this is awkward. This is the second-to-last episode before I want to hoist the man named Chris Chibnall onto/into a medieval torture device, and I don’t hate it. I don’t love “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship”, but I don’t hate it. Of…
Doctor Who “Asylum of the Daleks” – Review
Ya’ know, I think this Jenna-Louise Coleman lass might just be a bit evil somewhere deep down. Then again, I guess that’s why Moffat introduced her to the Doctor Who audience now, as we went into the belly of the metaphorical evil beast.…
