Here we go again. Another season of Doctor Who, a series that can go anywhere in time and space. Do we go to new places, and meet exciting new people? No. “The Magician’s Apprentice” takes us to Earth, England the oft-tread destination of the Doctor and company, and brings back characters that just will not […]
The Season 8 finale of Doctor Who brought together many of the plot threads it strung throughout the season. It addressed a lot of questions the season posed, but did little to make anyone care about the answers. (Spoilers ahead). The previous episode ‘Dark Water’ revealed that the Nethersphere teased throughout the season was actually […]
This week’s Doctor Who was like much of the rest of the season: enjoyable for the duration of the viewing, but not something that sticks with you. There was little substance, but a lot of style. And I mean a lot of style. A replica of the Orient Express – in space! A mummy! 1920’s […]

His upcoming mystery mini-series Gracepoint will premiere on FOX October 2nd at 9pm ET/PT. Tennant play Detective Emmett Carver […]

Although it fumbled the ending a little, most of the episode was the right balance of freaky and funny to make it an overall enjoyable episode. (Spoilers ahead). The Doctor wonders why you talk to yourself when you […]
The latest episode of Doctor Who offered a swashbuckling new twist on an old legend when the Doctor and Clara met Robin Hood. It was a worthy continuation of the show’s tradition of updating history/legends with a sci-fi twist. Robin Hood seems such an obvious candidate for Doctor Who. The beloved folk hero has pervaded […]
I can now with confidence say that I like Peter Capaldi’s Doctor. A lot. In last week’s ‘Deep Breath’, Capaldi wasn’t given a huge opportunity to show us what his Doctor is made of, since his Doctor didn’t come into his own until the very end of the episode. This week, Capaldi delivered a strong […]
