S08xE12 “Death in Heaven” If you have been reading my reviews of Doctor Who this series, you know that my outlook shifted as the season moved forward. I started out all sunshine and roses, excited for the possibilities a new Doctor and Moffat’s writing could bring. It has been a rocky journey, with moments in […]
MoreS08xE09 “In the Forest of the Night” I’m bored. Doctor Who is boring me. Moffat, I have been a staunch supporter of you since “Silence in the Library” but the recycled plots and heavy-handed moral lessons feel a bit tired. So, I’m going to recap “In the Forest of Night” using images from Doctor Who […]
MoreS08xE09 “Flatline” We are only 3 episodes away from the series 8 finale of Doctor Who, so I feel it’s time to admit it. I am completely bored with this season. The only interesting part of the series so far has been Missy and The Promised Land plot line, and we get so little of that […]
MoreS08xE08 “The Mummy on the Orient Express” In the eighth episode of series 8, we get a pretty decent monster-of-the-week mystery, fabulous costuming and lovely music that reminded me why this show reaches across generations and captures the hearts and minds of so many different types of people. Reminiscent of an Agatha Christie murder mystery, this story […]
MoreS8xE06 “Caretaker” and S8xE07 “Kill the Moon” Since we took a week off, this post we are combining the last two episodes of Doctor Who, which have highlighted on the relationship between the Doctor and his companion, the link to and representation of a long term connection to humanity. Both episodes reveal a Doctor who shares a precarious bond with humankind that has become damaged by prejudices, preconceived […]
MoreS08xE05 “Time Heist” In the fifth episode with Twelve, we finally get a glimpse of the man we know the Doctor to be–the man who risks it all to help others. While last week’s episode explored the mytharc of the Doctor in an abstract and thoughtful way, in “Time Heist” we see Twelve chose a familiar […]
MoreThe countdown to new Who has begun and I’m feeling a bit nostalgic. For the last twelve days, Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman have traveled the world, from London to Rio, promoting series 8 of Doctor Who. This morning in Parliament Square, the TARDIS landed and London prepares for New Who this weekend. Don’t get […]
MoreIt is a sad day in the TARDIS when the first 5 scripts of series 8 Doctor Who are leaked onto the internet by spoiler happy wankers. This week, the BBC acknowledged that indeed, the actual series scripts are currently floating around the internet due to some asshole who had the brilliant idea to […]
MoreIf you haven’t seen this video floating around the interwebs this holiday weekend, then you have been missing out. This Doctor Who parody created by The Hillywood Show and uploaded to their YouTube Channel has all the ingredients of a perfect fan made video. The music is spot on, the cosplay is perfect and there […]
MoreHappy Monday, Collectors! I couldn’t pass up the chance to share a Doctor Who/Cat meme mashup because…reasons. I mean, come on. It’s kind of perfect. xoxo The Collectiva Diva
