Doctor Who
It was quite a joy to see UNIT actually on their game at least in London. All the people who were so chummy with the Cybermen were actually unit agents who turned the tables quickly on Missy. And yes I intend to continue calling the Master Missy as that is her current name. While UNIT…
Oh Danny. The episode started solemn, if not a bit frenetic as Clara prepared to tell Danny everything. Clara was on the phone as Danny died. She was telling him how he was the last person that she was every going to say I love you to. And then he died. It was grim and…
The trees have taken over London. It just so happened on the day that Danny Pink and Clara took some of their students on a class trip. Everything has been overgrown into a veritable forest in the midst of London. Heck, the Doctor found one of the little girls Mauve in the middle of Trafalgar…
There was very much an Alice in Wonderland sort of feel to this episode as Clara realized that the exit was much smaller. Well, it wasn’t just the exit, but the entire exterior of the TARDIS was smaller (2/3rds smaller). Which of course meant it was a wonderful new conundrum for the doctor to solve,…
The Doctor and Clara do the moon with a teenage companion and some disgruntled spacers in the near future. That is the gist of what gets the characters we follow in place for the trouble that ensues. After the ending of last week the troublesome, but completely in awe, Courtney Woods went along with the…
One of the greatest things about the 12th Doctor is he is endlessly hilarious without trying explicitly to do so. Hi quips are top notch. The fact that he thought he thought he was going into deep cover by changing his coat. Even better was Clara realizing something was up with the Doctor when he…
On the eve of Clara’s second date with Danny Pink, the Doctor swept her way. Before we learn much of what is going on, we learn that their memories have been wiped. They all did it willingly and were then submitted to a SAW like voice instructing them to rob a bank. On this planet…
Poor Danny Pink. He finally gets a date with the girl that catches his fancy and he bumbles it up. Sure, it isn’t entirely his fault, but the fault of the effects of his time at war. It’s made him neurotic and touchy about certain subjects and the dream goes horrid. Danny is damaged goods.…
Within the first few moments of the episode you could tell that it was a lighter episode (it is a family show after all). And it held up to the initial premise. A trip back in time to appease Clara’s life long desire to meet Robin hood, led to an encounter with the thief who…
The 12th Doctor does not play games and will not stand for being disrespected. It is refreshing to assert himself upon others and make it clear as to what he is capable of. He doesn’t stand for idle threats and commands the necessary respect that is intelligence requires. More and more the Doctor is this…
Peter Capaldi is the twelfth Doctor. Apparently Steven Moffat and his staff had the idea that he was going to be the doctor for a while. The best part is Peter seems genuinely excited to be the next doctor. I can’t wait to see what he brings to the table. I forsee a father daughter…
Many of you probably don’t know this, but I am an enormous Doctor Who fan. I’ve watched a large chunk of the original series and I’m trying to find the rest. I’ve watched the new series featuring the 9th, 10th, and 11th doctors at least three times. I don’t get sick of it. I have…
So, I pondered...
