Victory of the Daleks

23 April, 2010 (11:57) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

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 [...]

The Beast Below

15 April, 2010 (15:06) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

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 [...]

The Eleventh Hour

9 April, 2010 (08:50) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

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 [...]

New TARDIS Console Room

31 March, 2010 (14:46) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

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 [...]

New Doctor Who Trailer

27 March, 2010 (01:53) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

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 [...]

The End of Time

19 January, 2010 (10:59) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

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, [...]

The A-Team Trailer

13 January, 2010 (23:52) | Movies, Television | By: Alan

I’ve always viewed an A-Team remake as a fairly bad idea.  It always struck me as the kind of action, adventure show that you probably wouldn’t get away with making these days.
However, with some very good casting choices, and now this trailer, I’ll be darned if its not looking like they’ve pulled it off.  Obviously [...]

Geronimo!

2 January, 2010 (13:53) | Doctor Who, Television | By: Alan

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 [...]

Merlin

21 December, 2009 (16:20) | Television | By: Alan

I haven’t really talked much about Merlin on this blog for some reason, but with the second series having come to a close this weekend, it seemed like a good reason to revisit it.
For me, this series has undoubtedly been a big success.  Its an interesting world it inhabits.  We, the viewers, know that eventually [...]

Warehouse 13

10 December, 2009 (13:46) | Television | By: Alan

One of the new shows I’ve been really enjoying, which just finished its first season on Sci-Fi UK is Warehouse 13.
A Syfy original program, it follows Secret Service Agents Peter Lattimer and Myka Bering who find themselves reassigned from their normal duties to work for Artie Nielsen in the top-secret Warehouse 13 where supernatural artefacts are stored [...]
