Doctor Who Story 276 – Twice Upon a Time

The 709 episodes ago is great. I love old sexist Doctor. “You may speak with her again,” and I really hope it’s Susan, but it’s Bill. No one needs Bill. She’s okay, but Susan would be better. I really wish it was Susan. The Doctor love Susan. That ship of his is in need of a good deep clean. The Doctor Hartnell with a gay woman companion is wonderful. What you need is a jolly good smacked bottom! The Doctor to Bill (or Susan) Mycroft’s Hitler haircut is terrible. Well, no one should have a Hitler haircut, even if they are 20 years too early for Hitler. What a jackass.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 276 – Twice Upon a Time

Doctor Who Story 240 – The Day of the Doctor

“The Day of the Doctor” is the 50th anniversary special, but it was preceded and succeeded by many many other pieces that were airing throughout that year. This post will cover them all. I’m going to add to this, that this 50th anniversary was what inspired me to watch every episode of Doctor Who. It took a long time to get this point. Almost 10 years. I’m proud of myself, good job Adam! The Doctors Revisited: The First Doctor “As a kid I found the Doctor terrifying,” said Neil Gaiman. Yeah, he was a complete asshole. Oh nice, they got Ian to be interviewed. The ladies are so overcome by… Read More »Doctor Who Story 240 – The Day of the Doctor

Doctor Who Story 239 – The Name of the Doctor

Clarence and the Whipsermen The accent of the chained guy sounds like the stupid accent that Noel Fielding does in the Mighty Boosh. The Name of the Doctor Oh, I forgot that this is how it started… the Doctor stealing the TARDIS! That’s a fun little start. Too bad Clara’s story is really stupid, and she’s in all his life. Oh, here’s Clarence. I do love Strax the more we see him. Why would him having travelled through time make his grave dangerous. So far, this episode is just “we have to go somewhere.” Yet there’s no reason given why they have to go there. It’s just walking around. With… Read More »Doctor Who Story 239 – The Name of the Doctor

Doctor Who Serial 140 – The Two Doctors

Part One Yay! Jamie and the Doctor!!!!! I’m so excited. I love Patrick Troughton as the Doctor so much. I love the bickering between the Doctor and Jamie. But Jamie only knows of the Time Lords, if this is after they wiped his memory. The chef’s dressed to look like a Scottish pantomime. “Who are you smiling at, you hairy legged highlander?” The Doctor can be such an asshole to his companions. The difference is the second Doctor very obviously loves Jamie and it’s in jest. I thought it was just Americans who say “walla” when they mean voilà. Apparently British people in the ’80s, too. There’s been way too… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 140 – The Two Doctors

Doctor Who Serial 129 – The Five Doctors

Doctor Who loves that “One day, I shall come back” clip. Richard Hurndall doesn’t look much like William Hartnell. “Just a twinge of ‘Cosmic Angst.’” That’s my band name. Cosmic Angst. The nerdy teenagers will love it! God damn, just 30 seconds with Patrick Troughton makes me happy. He’s so good. Best Doctor. The Brigadier says that someone is his replacement and Troughton replies, “yes, mine was pretty unpromising, too.” Now I have no idea how he knows that as a character, but damn, I love that line, so much. Jon Pertwee’s abduction wasn’t as great as I would have wanted. Sarah Jane has a greater part to play in… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 129 – The Five Doctors

Doctor Who Serial 034 – The Macra Terror

Part One Well the companions are being idiots and attacking the first person they see. Sure he has a terrible hairdo, but that’s no reason. Why have we never had a bearded Doctor? “No one ever left alive in nineteen hundred eighty five will ever doooooo!” Part Two Those uniforms are amazing. The collar is so high, and the shoulder pads are good enough to be Romulan. That was the problem with Star Trek: Picard. not enough shoulder pads. There is no macra!!!! Those electronics are fragile, if you knock on them, you shouldn’t pop out of the wall. Oh, there is indeed a macra, what a crabby beasty. The… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 034 – The Macra Terror

Doctor Who Serial 030 – The Power of the Daleks

Part One I was excited for a Patrick Troughton episode. I love the second doctor and Jamie… then I see this is the one story without Jamie. Well, it’ll be 2 and Ben and Polly. I can live. I like the shot looking down the risey fally bit of the console. Oh Doctor, you should’ve kept that hat. Ben and Polly really just assumed that he’s the Doctor. The Doctor hasn’t said it. Creepy! Part Two The original theme and opening credits were truly the best. Lesterson’s glasses are fantastic. Don’t think they’d suit my face, though. Lesterson should listen and not try to reactivate a Dalek. Why is Polly… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 030 – The Power of the Daleks
