The series is about reorienting shame and blame from those who died to those who couldn’t be bothered.
Certainly there aren’t many carefree moments in this episode apart from the very beginning.
One point that the script doesn’t make sufficiently clear—at least, it confused me on first viewing—is that the initial Time Lord scenes take place before the three pieces of narration in Part One.
With “The End of Time,” the Doctor Who careers of two giants of the show—star David Tennant and head writer and executive producer Russell T Davies—reach their conclusion.
David Tennant’s long goodbye to Doctor Who enters its final stretch with “The Waters of Mars.”
“Forest of the Dead” is an episode that left me so thoroughly perplexed that I had to see it several times to even begin thinking I understood it.
I’m sure I read an interview with Russell T Davies some time ago where he referred to “The Unicorn and The Wasp” as “the first comedy we’ve done.”
Given its ratings success, there’s every indication that Torchwood will be returning for a third season.
The annual Christmas specials are appetizers dished up to satiate diners between the seasonal main courses.
I love how Torchwood can take a fracture in time that threatens to undo our reality and use that crisis to frame a story about love and sacrifice.
The intersection of the alien and the human is front and center in “Combat,” as disaffected young men seek meaning, Fight Club-style.
It plays as if an episode of Doctor Who wandered off and got lost, only to find itself somehow on Torchwood.
Russell T Davies’s new Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood, starts out several steps ahead of the game.
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?
“Rise of the Cybermen” marks the return of the titular foes that occupy the #2 spot (after the Daleks) on the Doctor’s list of most oft-encountered enemies.
