Doctor Who Story 171 – The Girl in the Fireplace

Tardisode Oh, we see the crew before they all die. That was creepy. Episode This is the first episode where Mickey is officially a companion. I’ve been tagging him in all episodes he appears in as he eventually became a companion. If you look at all the stories, I tag the actors who play the Doctor, Master and the companions (by character name, not actor name). Okay, this is definitely one of my all time top Doctor Who stories. Madame de Pompadour screaming out for the Doctor into the fireplace is such a good teaser and then to jump 3000 years later to a spaceship is great. “They didn’t nip… Read More »Doctor Who Story 171 – The Girl in the Fireplace

Doctor Who Story 170 – School Reunion

Tardisode Oh, it’s about Mickey. I really hoped it would be a precursor with Sarah Jane Smith. Episode Anthony Head! Yes! I love Giles. When you work in a school, do not eat children. It’s a bad idea. You should know better Giles, you usually just arm the children and make them kill vampires. Now you’re a beast and dining on children. I would like to have the Doctor as my teacher. Upset Rose is fantastic. Sarah Jane! Aww, the look on the Doctor’s face is so nice. He shows how the audience should feel to have perhaps the most iconic companion back on the show. It’s glee, and I… Read More »Doctor Who Story 170 – School Reunion

Doctor Who Story 169 – Tooth and Claw

Tardisode It took 300 years for the werewolfe to find a victim? Episode Scottish Monk Ninjas. This story is so ridiculous. It’s nice that the David Tennant gets to use his accent. “James McCrimmon!” I miss Jamie. Best companion, ever. If I were Vicky, I’d slap Rose. This episode is terrible. Oh, they got knighted. And now the Doctor is being exiled. She’s going to start Torchwood. Confidential Nothing to see here.

Doctor Who Story 168 – New Earth

Tardisode Really? That’s what they’re calling the mini-episode? Bad name. So this is an ad for a hospital. It adds nothing to the story. I think most will be like that. Episode I haven’t mentioned this before, but I’m so happy they got rid of face during the opening credits. David Tennant seems so happy to be the Doctor. Gross, don’t refer to your adventures as dates. Cassandra is horrible. I’m surprised they brought her back. “The lonely god…” I dislike this description of the Doctor. Also, I think the writers are overestimating Rose’s attractiveness. The Doctor is suspicious. Cassandra switching between the Doctor and Rose is amazing. He can… Read More »Doctor Who Story 168 – New Earth

Doctor Who Story 167 – The Christmas Invasion

The Christmas Invasion Aww, Jackie looks so sad. Okay, speaking of TARDIS sounds being so loud, Mickey can hear it while in a car shop with music blaring. David Tennant is great, and ending the teaser with “Doctor who?” is wonderful! I’m excited for Tennant’s run as the Doctor. “Tina has a lodger, a medical student.” It’s MARTHA!1 Mickey really needs to leave Rose. Why does he care about her. She has no interest in him. Also, Mickey, her bestie is ill, and she’s worried about him. He’s an asshole to assume that she should ignore that. Yay! David Tennent is awake! Only took 11 minutes. Much better than our… Read More »Doctor Who Story 167 – The Christmas Invasion

Doctor Who Story 166 – Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways

Bad Wolf We’re only on the first season and we’ve already gone back to the Slitheen, Cardiff, and now Satellite 5. The sound mix is terrible. I can’t hear the dialogue over the music. Big Brother seems terrible. Weakest Link is much better. Captain Jack’s reality show is much better. The boss from Peep Show is in this. Tee hee, it was in his butt. The Human race sitting on their butts not leaving home because it’s not safe sound familiar. The Face of Boe gets a nod again. I feel like it’s been a while in Doctor Who since we’ve seen transmats. EXTERMINATE! Confidential There’s a dude in the… Read More »Doctor Who Story 166 – Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways

Doctor Who Story 165 – Boom Town

Episode Who at Doctor Who central, thought the Slitheen were so go they needed a follow up? Why is the farting a thing? The chase scene with the teleport is comic gold. Jack is so excited about everything and it’s really nice. Rose has bad taste in men. Russell T. Davies’ era is so kinky. This is surprisingly a fun episode. Good on Mickey for going out with Tricia. Bad on Rose for saying mean things about her because she’s “a bit thick.” Mickey, you’re right. It’s always going to be the Doctor. There’s no reason to scream at Rose, just realize that it’s over and move on. Rose should… Read More »Doctor Who Story 165 – Boom Town

Doctor Who Story 164 – The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances

The Empty Child No recap, that’s good. She uses Spock like it’s a verb. Maybe say “pull out a tricorder” not “give me some Spock,” unless she wants to get some action with Leonard Nimoy. He was still alive in 2005, it’s okay. The Doctor talking to a cat is great, and I wish her new companion would be a cat. Not a sentient cat. Just an actual cat. The girl who plays the sister/mother of the “are you my mummy” boy looks like she’s famous. I can’t place her face, I looked her up, she’s Florence Hoath and she hasn’t acted since 2008 and I have not seen anything… Read More »Doctor Who Story 164 – The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances

Doctor Who Story 163 – Father’s Day

Episode Not looking forward to this episode. It was really bad, and the Doctor taking Rose to see her dead father is a just irresponsible on many levels. The Doctor doesn’t even blink at the thought of bringing Rose to her father’s death. The Doctor is an idiot. I forgot how bad the animation was in this episode. Mickey clinging to Rose is cute. The Doctor is giving her such a hard time but is not taking any responsibility at all. Which is very in character for the Doctor. God, this episode makes no sense. Confidential The bullshit Billie Piper is shovelling right now about how great this episode is…… Read More »Doctor Who Story 163 – Father’s Day

Doctor Who Story 162 – The Long Game

Episode Rose and the Doctor teaming up impress Adam is fun, even though Adam sucks. He must be the only Adam to suck, because Adams are great. The Face of Boe is pregnant, that’s lovely for Jack! I forgot Simon Pegg was in this. Why does he look so weird? Apparently in 2019 the microprocessor became redundant. I wish that were the case. Hey, it’s Fran from Black Books. Tamsin Greig is great. Central heating is not plumbing, it’s HVAC! Why is cooling a problem on a space station? Couldn’t they just vent out some of the heat, or pass the air through something that isn’t shielded outside to cool… Read More »Doctor Who Story 162 – The Long Game
