This week’s Doctor Who episode saw the eleventh Doctor’s first face off against the Daleks, but more than that, it turned into a relaunch for the Daleks themselves, to setup a new status quo for them in this new era of the show.
The premise for the episode was definitely a strong one. The opening 10 [...]
After the stonking opening of the Eleventh Hour, could the new Doctor Who keep up that level of greatness?
Well for me the answer was yes.
With the new Doctor firmly established in The Eleventh Hour, focus with this episode switched slightly more towards Amy, allowing her to firmly earn her place in the TARDIS by piecing [...]
Its been like 2005 all over again.
I think its fair to say that fandom probably hasn’t held its breath this long since they awaited the first airing of Rose. A new production team, a new Doctor, a new companion, a new everything. And all hanging under the weight of the success of Russell T Davies [...]
With the release of the new Radio Times, we’ve gotten our first (and quite a detailed) look at the new console room set for Matt Smith’s Doctor.
There’s plenty of pictures now up on the Radio Times website and I love what we’re seeing. The console itself has more of a steampunk feel than the organic [...]
A new edit of the series Fnarg/1/5/31 trailer appeared on Jonathan Ross tonight. God it looks so brilliant “One day that’ll work”.
The clip with the library card that led up to that line as well was just fantastic. I really can’t understate how much I’m looking forward to seeing Smith’s first full series at this [...]
And so I finally get to writing my review of The End of Time and the last adventure for the 10th Doctor (not counting future appearances in charity or anniversary specials obviously ).
In true RTD form, for the 10th Doctor’s finale we were treated to a huge epic spectacle, with returning Time Lords, [...]
Yikes. I’ve gotten a bit behind on my blogging. Needless to say, there’ll be a full post on the End of Time coming soon (short version, I loved it), but in the meantime, here’s the trailer for Matt Smith’s first series coming later this year. I’m really looking forward to seeing what it brings [...]
This series of Sarah Jane Adventures has really flown past. I guess that’s the effect of the two episodes a week format, but I couldn’t believe it was already the finale.
And this year, it was the return of those favourite monsters, the Slitheen. While their appearances in the parent show have always been controversial (I [...]
With his presence noticeably absent for the last few stories, this two-parter gave Luke some much-needed focus this series.
That said, I’m not entirely sure it worked. I didn’t entirely buy his falling out with Sarah Jane although the idea of Luke becoming more like a normal teenager is an interesting one that deserves [...]
Now that was rather good.
The production team had previous said that Planet of the Dead had deliberately been a light-hearted runaround to compensate for how dark the remaining specials were going to be, and Waters of Mars did not disappoint.
From the outset it was obvious we were in for something different, as from the moment [...]
