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
