The Role of the Companion

The Doctor may have had many faces, but his Companions have had far more over the decades. In this installment, we take a look at what the role of the Companion has been, is today, and how different Companions over the years have worn each of these archetypes. We take a sampling from the entire history of the show, and lead ultimately to the question: where does Clara fit into all of this, and who will she be for the […]

Who is Responsible?

In the afterglow of “The Day of the Doctor” and “The Time of the Doctor” I can’t help but think about all the implications that these two pivotal episodes link. Things like the Doctor fully expecting to die at Lake Silencio, knowing he had no regenerations left as an ace in the hole. Or Rory, who wanted kids so badly, never being able to hold his actual daughter as a child (The one time he did, it was a ganger). This […]

The Time of the Doctor

“And now it’s time for one last bow      Like all your other selves. Eleven’s hour is over now,     The clock is striking Twelve’s.” Some of us have loved him since he first discovered fish fingers and custard. Some took a lot longer to accept that bow ties really are cool. But when that iconic bow tie crumpled to the floor, we all shed a tear as we bid farewell to Matt Smith. And then we choked […]

The Multitude of the Doctor

It’s almost traditional on your birthday to look back, and remember your younger self. The Doctor gets to do that quite literally. This week, we take a look at the multiple Doctor stories that always seem to come out on anniversary years. From “The Three Doctors” all the way to “The Day of the Doctor”, we evaluate the science, and the lack there of, that bring the Doctor face to face with himself. Link Dump: Full length trailer for “The […]

The Overabundance of the Doctor

We just flat out refuse to give up on the 50th anniversary. This week, we take a look at both the emotionally driven docu-drama “An Adventure in Space and Time”, and the hilarious ‘insider’ mock-umentary by Peter Davison, “The Five(ish) Doctors”. Yes, we’re slightly bipolar this week…you’ll just have to deal with it.   The first production allows us to delve deeper into the first Doctor’s history than we ever have, question how much is historically accurate, and furthermore, determine […]
