Prequel So is the Doctor ever going to tell her that she’s going to never be a mom to River? Let’s Kill Hitler It’s so creepy that Mels has idolized the Doctor long before she married him. Their security system is terrible. Oh River. I like the Doctor’s love of young Amelia Pond. Doctor Who monsters need to stop announcing their intention to kill.
Prequel They’re imprisoning a child? A Good Man Goes To War Let’s talk about the title of this episode. Do they actually think he’s a good man? He isn’t. They’re trying to make Rory a bad ass, but he ain’t a bad ass. Even as “the last centurion.” I like Alex Kingston. Moffat has this bad habit of half-introducing something and thinking it’s good enough. And he does it so much in this episode. Oh, okay, they acknowledge that he is not a good man. That’s more self-awareness than I expect from Moffat. Get in the fucking TARDIS, Amy and Melody.
The Rebel Flesh It should be stated that Matt Smith’s era of Doctor Who looks a lot better than David Tennant’s. It’s Chris from Life on Mars… a show he’s in with the Master! That gif is reminding me of when the Doctor had an electric guitar. Not looking forward to that. We need more Dusty Springfield. This is a very cliched Doctor Who story. It feels like it would fit as a boring Jon Pertwee story. He keeps on saying cocarell. This concept has potential, but Star Trek: The Next Generation did that with two Rikers. The Almost People Jesus, Doctor, why are you attacking Amy? Oh my god!… Read More »Doctor Who Story 217 – The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People
The guy who plays Uncle is doing the same voice as Robin in Ghosts. I just finished watching all of Ghosts. It’s a great show. Hooray for establishing in canon that Time Lords can regenerate into other genders. I like the TARDIS and calling the Doctor her thief. “You’re a bitey mad lady.” The Doctor does bring home strays. I love the rapport between Matt Smith and Suranne Jones. How come Idris has a real name?
I remember this story being terrible. 2 minutes in and it’s already there. Rory’s gonna die… again. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this story.
Space That’s really gross that the entire purpose of this skit for a children’s show is to talk about Amy’s genitalia. What is wrong with Moffat? Time Part two is less creepy and gross, but still creepy and gross. Prequel Nixon’s an asshat, but this guy doesn’t sound like Nixon. The Impossible Astronaut Aww, it’s in memory of Elisabeth Sladen. I don’t get why Amy and Rory are suddenly living in England and not traveling with the Doctor. Nice that Arthur Darvill gets into the opening titles. So the Doctor is traveling for 200 years without Amy and Rory, and then he comes back for them? That seems so unlike… Read More »Doctor Who Story 214 – The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon
A TARDIS Tea Party Time for another Children in Need special. I don’t expect this to be as good as “Time Crash.” *don’t make snide comments about children, Adam* This is really nice that they did this, but silly that they filmed it. Aww, the kid had a small stumble down the TARDIS stairs and they aired that. Ugh, bad director. A Christmas Carol Back to Christmas episodes having to be about Christmas. I like that Amy and Rory are into role-play. It’s Dumbledore. The Muppets did this so much better. How great would this be if Statler and Waldorf were in this episode. Finally some Amy and Rory content.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 213 – A Christmas Carol
The Nightmare Man Part One They’re still doing the whole saga sell. From what I understand Luke is just a featured player this season, yet he’s still in the saga sell. They really love slowly zooming in on the Earth and the United Kingdom. That’s not how you get out of handcuffs, get a shim under the clicky clicky parts, tighten it one click while putting the shim in between the clicky clicky parts and the locking mechanism, and then slide it out. So Luke is going to Oxford, good for the boy genius, but still needs to learn how to be a human. I guess high school wasn’t really… Read More »Doctor Who Story xx – The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 4 & Sarah Jane’s Alien Files
Apparently Australia made a K-9 show. They redesigned K-9 and he looks horrible. I’m afraid, but HERE WE GO! I hope the theme is as good as K-9 and Company. Well, I pressed play, and it is not. Regeneration Apparently this takes place in 2050. RoboCop! Close the door behind you. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! K-9 is adorable. The professor has a condition and can’t leave his house? And he’s played by a Canadian? Why didn’t they get Don McKellar to play this character? The floating regenerated K-9 is terrible. He looks like a cartoon. They should bath Richard Starkey so he doesn’t smell for the Ninja Turtles. That felt… Read More »Doctor Who Story xx – K-9 (as much as I could find)
The Pandorica Opens River! Yay! Didn’t think I’ve see Liz X again. I like River as Cleopatra. Yar, there be Cybermen! It’s Rory! Because obviously it is, because Doctor Who can’t keep anyone dead. Their deus ex machina of Rory’s appearance is horrible and lazy. But I’m glad he’s back. Amy’s happy to see her dead fiancé, who she forgot about. Why doesn’t River know who Rory is? It’s her dad, she set them up as Mel. The Big Bang Oh it’s wee Amelia Pond! Oh, the Doctor’s wearing a fez. I forgot Amy was dead, and I only watched part one a few hours ago. Rory waiting 2000 years… Read More »Doctor Who Story 212 – The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang
