Steven Moffat is an evil genius. No one can truly deny that. From the stolidly creepy Empty Child, to the genuinely terrifying Weeping Angels, to the all too forgettable Silents (get it?), he has a hotline to our childhood fears and he makes regular calls. He is also adept at bringing forth the tears, a la “Angels Take Manhattan”, or killing Rory, again and again. The man in unquestionable a brilliant writer. But how does he stack up as a […]

A theme park filled with dinosaurs, a virus that can reanimate dead tissue, the ability to stream “Honey Boo Boo” to your cell phone. There are plenty of times to ask, “Has technology gone too far?” We often have a similar dilemma in the Doctor Who fandom. We have to ask, “How can technology go this far?” The Doctor is truly brilliant, and it makes sense that his tools would be equally brilliant. But how much brilliance are we willing […]

No one loves to pull episodes of Doctor Who apart more than Whovians. We are the first to point out every flaw in plot, acting, or science. But yet, we continue to come back every week, and dive in once again, like schoolkids at the beach. This week, we decided to undertake the challenge of finding what compels us to love this program, despite the criticism from our own ranks. We’re taking the worst episodes we can identify, and finding […]

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 […]

“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 […]

After celebrating the momentous milestone of the 50th anniversary, some Whovians have found a desire to go back and delve into more than just the past eight years. We at GPR are here to serve! We have put together a tutorial for starting a journey into “the classics”. Come with us as we visit some historic landmarks on the way to 2005. The War Games [2nd Doctor, Season 6] What?
