Classic Rewatch: Four to Doomsday
We delve into the Fifth Doctor’s first post-regeneration story, involving a trio of nefarious space-frog-avocados and more than a bit of concerning cultural and racial depictions.
Torchwood Rewatch: Fragments (S2E12)
The second season of Torchwood makes an interesting choice by going with a set of flashback sequences for its penultimate episode.
Classic Rewatch: Castrovalva
With the unraveling of a scarf and the donning of a smart cricket jumper, the Fifth Doctor’s era begins in earnest in the opening story of Season 19.
Torchwood Rewatch: Adrift (S2E11)
Gwen learns of another disturbing aspect of dealing with the Rift, and we all take a blow from Chris Chibnall’s ability to write emotionally charged scenes.
Classic Rewatch: Logopolis
At long last, our enjoyment of the Fourth Doctor era in our rewatch of “classic” Doctor Who stories comes to a close with the final story of the 18th season.
Torchwood Rewatch: From Out of the Rain (S2E10)
We spin up some oldey-timey footage of circus sideshows and try and determine exactly who the ‘Night Travellers’ were, why they were doing whatever nefarious things they did in a century ago, and how they were captured in celluloid in the first place.
Classic Rewatch: The Keeper of Traken
With more affection for Anthony Ainley than we can reasonably ‘master’, we collectively praise a well-told and well-executed long-game villain payoff.
Torchwood Rewatch: Something Borrowed (S2E9)
Phil Ford is back in the writing credits for one of the strongest humor-horror-high-anxiety stories of the second Torchwood season, but we have a difficult time discerning which categorization best fits.
Classic Rewatch: Warrior’s Gate
An immensely detailed storyline is condensed into four episodes that confuse us as much as entertain…and in a few of our opinions, more so.
Torchwood Rewatch: A Day in the Death (S2E8)
It’s the second season story where not-dead Owen is a horrible grief counselor, Martha leaves, and we all agree that one can effectively leave it at that.
