Doctor Who’s midseason opener, ‘The Bells of Saint John’ was a fantastic starting point for new companion Clara, but ultimately was weighed down by problems stemming from the past. The concept behind the episode was clever- something is in the WiFi. In our digital age, the idea that something could be lurking in the Internet, […]
If Merlin’s season 5 two-part premiere is any indication, it’s going to be a very frustrating final season indeed. The majority of my problems with this episode lie with the main villain- Morgana.

Garth Merenghi’s Darkplace is only six episodes of the sort of intense, over the top insanity for […]

Romola Garai and Ben Whishaw star as best friends and should be lovers Bel Rowley and Freddie Lyon. (Full disclosure: Garai and Whishaw are two of my favorite young actors, so I was predisposed to […]
