After more or less trashing “Voyage of the Damned” last week, it’d be all too easy to start a trend by picking apart Season Four’s first proper episode.
The annual Christmas specials are appetizers dished up to satiate diners between the seasonal main courses.
There are a lot of things to admire about Doctor Who’s audacious third season finale, “Last of the Time Lords.”
It’s difficult to discuss Doctor Who’s penultimate Season Three installment, “The Sound of Drums”, without also talking about the events of the episode that follow it.
If “Blink” was the perfect standalone episode of Doctor Who, then “Utopia” is just the opposite.
Is it possible that “Blink” is the greatest Doctor Who episode ever created? Maybe.
Before moving on to more important issues, let’s talk scarecrows.
It has a myriad of fascinating aspects marking it, but one of the most noteworthy is that it’s the first televised Doctor Who story based on a book.
“42” seems to have a few elements working against it: It’s highly reminiscent of “The Impossible Planet”/“The Satan Pit” from Season Two.
It’d be all too easy to write off “The Lazarus Experiment” as Season Three’s transitional episode.
Any Dalek story that attempts such bold revisionism is bound to be a mixed bag, and this two-parter most certainly is.
Someday I wanna make a list of celebrities who’ve “admitted” to loving Doctor Who.
In “The End of the World” Russell T Davies had the Doctor take Rose to the year 5 Billion to see the Earth explode.
The Doctor crossing paths with William Shakespeare is such an obvious gimmick, it seems an improbability that it’s never been portrayed onscreen before now.
“The Runaway Bride” is the second Christmas special of the new Doctor Who and it packs a special punch.
The idea that Rose’s travels with the Doctor in some bizarre way brought her family back together is potent stuff.
A suburban neighborhood. A different time. A major televised event. Missing residents. An abusive father. Alien abduction.
Dear Russell T Davies. What the hell do you think you’re doing to Doctor Who?
As “The Impossible Planet” drew to a close and “The Satan Pit” begins, two deaths occur: A pair of redshirts take it for the team.
Structurally and dramatically the two-parter occupies the same space as “The Empty Child” two-parter did last season.
