Giving the Whole Nine

In late 2004, the British television-viewing public was informed that the near-lost science fiction program(me), Doctor Who, would be returning to the airwaves. The next year, with a new orchestration of the theme song, special effects by the prestigious workshop The Mill, and a Manchester actor with fifteen years of film and television credit to his name, the TARDIS doors opened once again, and our newest companion was told to simply, “Run!” This week, we look at the single-season tenure of […]

Silver Linings in the Vortex, Part 2

You knew it was coming. No look at ‘bad’ episodes would be complete without “Timelash.” The infamous 6th Doctor story has topped everyone’s bad story list, and for good reason. But this is still Doctor Who, gorramit! Even the bad episodes have hidden gems waiting to be dug out. We also take a look at the Doctor, Amy, and Rory playing a bit of pirate, and facing off against a homicidal green mermaid in an evening dress in “Curse of […]

Are Cons Worth It? My Comicon Experience

I recently got to attend Texas Comicon in San Antonio. This was my first con and I wasn’t sure quite what to expect. Sure, we’ve all heard stories of San Diego Comic Con, or Dragon Con. But not many people go in depth about the smaller, local cons. I had done some research, I knew the celebrities who were gonna be there and some of the artists who would be displaying their work. But that doesn’t tell you what the […]

Doctor Who?

The BBC released the name of the series finale for Series 7. This will be the episode that leads us into the 50th anniversary special. In the spirit of fairness, we won’t blast this all over in case of spoiler sensitive fans out there. For everyone else, click below to see the story. [spoiler] The finale, which had been rumored to be called “The Funeral of River Song,” was revealed today to be “The Name of the Doctor.” Clearly Moffat […]

Cold War

After over 4 decades, the Ice Warriors are back in this weeks episode, “Cold War.” We take time to discuss this quintessential (some might say “routine”) Doctor Who Story.

You’ve heard our take on it, what’s yours? Link Dump: A brief quote by Tennant Expect Daleks, Zygons, and Cybermen […]
