Doctor Who Serial 150 – Silver Nemesis

Holy crap! 150 serials in! This is incredible. I’m on my seventh Doctor. 25th season. 150th serial. “The serial marks the final appearance of the Cybermen in the original run.” DELETE! Part One Fucking hell. I have to deal with Nazis in real life, and now on Doctor Who, too? Ace and the Doctor are enjoying some smooth jazz in a garden. Ace, I also hope your tape is alright. It’s 1988, the Doctor makes Ace a boombox and he doesn’t include a CD player? While he was at it, he should’ve put in an MP3 player. Time travelling wizards? “We won’t harm you,” says the Doctor to some Nazis…… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 150 – Silver Nemesis

Doctor Who Serial 149 – The Happiness Patrol

Part One HAHAHAHA! There’s a literal happiness patrol. The streets of this city looks a lot like a soundstage floor. I think that’s the first use of Theta Sigma. So if you’re unhappy you get killed by blood and viscera? The angry robot wife is really weird. Wow, that Go Kart needs a tune up. Well, it broke down, that’s not surprising. Part Two I love the robot’s spinning eyes. I love that the unhappy people are the “killjoys.” Part Three Happiness Patrol Got Talent. That puppet is terrible. The Doctor and harmonica man are gonna jam. So the robot is called the “Candy Man?” The Doctor is so indignant.

Doctor Who Serial 148 – Remembrance of the Daleks

Part One Oh yeah! Ace has a boombox! A boombox in the 1960s. Uh oh! That kid knows who the Doctor is! That is indeed Susan’s old school, and they’re going into Foreman’s junkyard. Oh my, those are Daleks! I love Doctor Who‘s means of continuity by pretending that Humans just ignore major events in our history and pretend they didn’t happen. Part Two The Dalek just said “WE! MUST! REPAIR! THE! TRANSMAT!” All I can think is Alex Horne saying “We?” to Katheryn Parkinson. I couldn’t find that gif, but here’s another one. I enjoy McCoy’s R rolls. Is that Geoffrey from Fresh Prince? Oh my god! It totally… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 148 – Remembrance of the Daleks

Doctor Who Serial 147 – Dragonfire

I assume this episode is named after the ride at Canada’s Wonderland. Part One Great hat. Oh, the lady gets a lovely hat, too. Hopalong Glitz is here! Oh, that’s Ace. Ace is a rebel. She shouts out her own name with she accomplishes things? “Ace!” Why did the Doctor climb over the railing? His face implies that things are not going to plan, but what is his plan? Part Two That statue is wearing the greatest outfit. You know someone isn’t your real parent because they made a bad choice in your name? Apparently Ace is Dorothy. He’s a friendly bipedal dragon. Part Three 3000 years? You needed the… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 147 – Dragonfire

Doctor Who Serial 146 – Delta and the Bannermen

It’s 2021, and I’m still doing this stupid thing… but let’s GOOOOO! DELTA! AND! THE BANNERMEN! Part One Why is Mel excited by heading to the 1950s Disney? They have a time machine. They look like giant poop emojis. Was that Jimmy Carr? This holiday camp must be what The Who were singing about in Tommy. “Got a feeling ’21 is gonna be a good year.” That Welsh accent is making me think of Torchwood. Doesn’t hurt that last night I watched the New Year special with Jack in it. I don’t think Doctor Who knows what rock and roll is. Sara Griffiths, who plays Ray, does an absolutely terrible… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 146 – Delta and the Bannermen

Doctor Who Serial 145 – Paradise Towers

Part One Wow, the late ’80s vibes are strong with this one. So Mel wants a swimming pool, is that why the Doctor would eventually put one in the library? Oh, there was a swimming pool that the Doctor jettisoned. So he “builds” a new one. Mel’s outfit is great. She really needs to do something about her eye makeup though. It looks like she has no eyes, just two holes of blackness. Also, in regards to the Kangs, I personally voted for Kodos. Part Two Who’s the Great Architect? Is it Sarah Lynn? I feel like I’m in the final stretch now that I’m on season 24 and Sylvester… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 145 – Paradise Towers

Doctor Who Serial 144 – Time and the Rani

Part One Oh my god! I thought the effects on Doctor Who were bad in the past! It’s so much worse now! With the exception of Sylvester McCoy’s face over the opening credits (they really need to stop doing that, but they will in three seasons), and except for the horrible, horrible, horrible graphics, this could be the best opening credits for Doctor Who. Part four is going to air the same day as “Encounter at Farpoint,” the pilot to Star Trek: The Next Generation. One still looks amazing today, the other looks like a 12 year old made the credits. There’s a chicken lady. Part Two The Rani has… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 144 – Time and the Rani

Doctor Who Serial 143 – The Trial of a Time Lord

Part One – The Mysterious Planet Part One That new theme song and opening credits are a perfect example of all the wrong choices. Time Lord costumes are amazing. I love how her hat is a Time Lord collar in hat form. The Doctor does meddle, so I can’t blame them for trying him for that. The Doctor should know that he should have a defence attorney. Oh! Stuff is recorded in “the Matrix.” Well, so far this season, he’s less of an asshole. So far he’s kinda reminding me of what very little I know of Sylvester McCoy. Maybe a splash of William Hartnell. The stripy sideburns are definitely… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 143 – The Trial of a Time Lord

Doctor Who Serial 142 – Revelation of the Daleks

Part One Snow? They’re in the UK! Also, that’s so very little snow. “This thing I’m wearing is too tight.” “You eat too much.” OH FUCK YOU, DOCTOR! NO! NOT COOL! Peri should punch that fucker right in the face. Zombies! Also, the cape looks terrible on the Doctor. Is that lady wearing a kippa? There’s a red-headed British actor in this, and I don’t think he played a Weasley. She says “Davros” as “Davrish.” I like it. Part Two Weasley is creepy as fuck. Wow, the Doctor is sending Peri to hang out with the creep of all creeps and completely knowing how much of a creep. 45 minutes… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 142 – Revelation of the Daleks

Doctor Who Serial 141 – Timelash

Part One This doesn’t look like 12th century Earth. Nice to know the Doctor appreciates a good safety belt. “I am the Borat! And I do not tolerate disloyalty.” Very nice! No 12th century Earth for the Doctor. Does this sound like I predicted this? If you’re ever being attacked by a beekeeper, be sure to place a potted plant into his hands. He’ll scream and fall down. Part Two Today I learned that if you show an android its reflection, it breaks. This is trippy as shit in the Time Lash. The Doctor murdered Borat.
