Timelash, Part 1

Tonight I watched “Timelash”, a rather maligned episode of the original series of Doctor Who, and twittered Episode 1 while I watched it. It took longer than expected, but I thought I’d add it here if anyone’s interested.

Watching “Time Lash” for the first time ever. Even the DVD extras warn me that this ep of [...]

Doctor Who – Journey’s End and Season 4, Redux

Looking back at the episode a week later, I can totally understand why people are upset. I think I got overwhelmed with the pure fannish-ness of it. Yes, the episode was fan-wank pure and simple.You see, I know by now Russell T Davies never writes a satisfying conclusion to a series. From Jesus Doctor of [...]

Doctor Who – Turn Left

There’s an episode of Doctor Who during the old days that reminded me of the latest episode, The Five Doctors.
I won’t go into too much detail, but The Doctor in this episode has been “taken out of time” by an unknown baddie. The Time Lords, (still alive), in an act of desperation, call on the [...]

Doctor Who – Midnight

You know, It doesn’t feel right not posting about last weeks Who. By this point, everyone’s debated, discussed and fought over it on the many forums. Hey, it wouldn’t be fandom without it.
Well, Midnight.
Rule one – This isn’t just for Dr. Who. This is TV, movie, life rule. Never NEVER say “What could go wrong?” [...]

Doctor Who – Forest of the Dead

The Moffster returns in part two of his brilliant story set in a mysterious library. But not only do we get a clever original story, we also get to know more about The Doctor than we discovered since the show has started back up.
First up, I’ll talk about the story. I don’t think the monsters [...]

Doctor Who – Silence in the Library

Spoilers!
Heh, I like using that this week. It suits the whole episode.
I actually dislike reviewing two parters. You’re only getting half of the story, and so far only questions. But what questions this week! We’ve got a mysterious little girl who seems to be able to control what’s happening to The Doctor and Donna. You [...]

The Unicorn and the Wasp

The Doctor and Martha travel back to the twenties, meet Agatha Christie and solve a murder mystery. All in a days work.
You know, the way they were hyping this episode, they made it sound like this would be the funniest episode of Doctor Who since the Douglas Adams days. Okay, there were a few moments [...]

Doctor Who – Planet Of The Ood

Donna gets her first trip to the future, and it’s not as rosy as she thought it would be…
The Doctor goes all random on the TARDIS (in other words, business as usual) and he ends up at The Oodsphere, the main planet of the futuristic slaves we saw last time in the episode The Impossible [...]

Doctor Who – The Fires of Pompeii

The Doctor takes Donna on her first trip back in time and (of course) gets it wrong. At least his mistakes have style.
In short, wow. What an episode.
Maybe I’m a little bias being a fan of The TV show Rome, but I had a big goofy grin just seeing the set of Cinecitt%C3%A0 again. It’s [...]
