“Dark and queer business.” Once again Strax is adorable. This must be a Doctor-lite episode. I’m glad they did it in the back half of the season (with Clara and not Amy/Rory). And great, I now see that Noel Clarke is an asshole. DOCTOR! DON’T KISS JENNY! This episode is so boring.
I hope it’s not like the rest of the Clara episodes where it gets somewhat interesting then falls apart at the end, and we have a magic ending that is barely explained. The Doctor is an asshole. She’s in the library. Where’s the pool? “History of the Time War” has there even been any mention of the Time War in the entire time Clara has been in Doctor Who? Matt Smith is so good at seeming old. Why is everything the heart of the TARDIS? The untempered schism. The eye of harmony. The engine. Why will a butt plug reset time? Also is resetting time a good idea story-wise? It’s… Read More »Doctor Who Story 236 – Journey to the Center of the TARDIS
Good outfit, lady. Ghosts and science, you say? Oh, they made a Ghost Busters joke, they beat me to it. By about 10 years. I’m liking this episode. Okay, this got terrible.
Oh, it’s Prince Phillip. These Soviets are very British. Ice Warriors! This is surprisingly better than I expected. Oh wait! Matt Smith is also Prince Phillip. This is a good less to young children about mutually assured destruction. How does Clara know where they are?
I don’t care enough about Clara to see that much of her childhood or her Doctor-Stalker. Oh god, there’s singing. This has everything I don’t want. Children and singing. Let’s sing and scream at this monster and hey we win! I hate this.
Prequel Nothing sadder than a grown up swaying on a swing alone. *gasp* she’s Clara. The Bells of Saint John Wifi is evil. Wait until they find out about 5G. This episode seems to be missing the charm of Doctor Who. How did the TARDIS door close? What a terrible, boring and quick resolution.
The Great Detective More voiceover? Aww, grumpy Doctor. Vastra Investigates Lesbians! I’m saying this like James did in high school the day after the episode of Deep Space Nine aired when Jadzia’s ex shows up and they kiss. The Snowmen Whoever said, “let’s put a mouth with teeth on that snowflake” was high as hell. New opening, and they put Matt Smith’s face into the time vortex. So many bad decisions. Also, why did Clara run after the Doctor. They had the most boring interaction. There was nothing there to entice a woman. Also, why is the Doctor just hanging out in Victorian London? That spiral staircase is rather rickety.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 231 – The Snowmen
More voiceovers. They keep on saying Amy and Rory are older, but they don’t show it. They look exactly the same. Is that the guy from Whose Line Is It Anyway and Office Space? Yes, yes it is. Mike McShane. I hate everything about this episode. I miss Amy and Rory.
So many voiceovers in Doctor Who. Too many voiceovers in Doctor Who. This terrible voiceover sounds like the intro to a “quirky” sitcom. Chris Chibnall, you can do better. Oh god! new clips… NOOOOOOOO! I thought we were done with that now that we’re done with Russell T. Davies. And now Amy is a writer? Where did that come from? Kate Stewart being head of UNIT is good. Flickr! Remember Flickr? Brian is always good. Brian asks how he long Amy and Rory were travelling during their party. He then asks what happens to other companions. The Doctor informs him that some, very few, but some die. The Doctor also… Read More »Doctor Who Story 229 – The Power of Three
Oh god, it starts with a terrible voiceover with a terrible American accent. So here’s a problem with the Doctor bringing his friends in once in a while, he is only calling on them when the stakes are high. So why did he bring in Amy and Rory to this episode? There’s no stakes, yet they just so happen to be with him. It makes no sense, and it also doesn’t help that this episode sucks. This is much better of a plot than I remembered. If it wasn’t a bad western, it might have been a decent episode. Also, I’m annoyed at the whole Amy and Rory not travelling… Read More »Doctor Who Story 228 – A Town Called Mercy
