Doctor Who Story 168 – New Earth

Tardisode Really? That’s what they’re calling the mini-episode? Bad name. So this is an ad for a hospital. It adds nothing to the story. I think most will be like that. Episode I haven’t mentioned this before, but I’m so happy they got rid of face during the opening credits. David Tennant seems so happy to be the Doctor. Gross, don’t refer to your adventures as dates. Cassandra is horrible. I’m surprised they brought her back. “The lonely god…” I dislike this description of the Doctor. Also, I think the writers are overestimating Rose’s attractiveness. The Doctor is suspicious. Cassandra switching between the Doctor and Rose is amazing. He can… Read More »Doctor Who Story 168 – New Earth

Doctor Who Story 166 – Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways

Bad Wolf We’re only on the first season and we’ve already gone back to the Slitheen, Cardiff, and now Satellite 5. The sound mix is terrible. I can’t hear the dialogue over the music. Big Brother seems terrible. Weakest Link is much better. Captain Jack’s reality show is much better. The boss from Peep Show is in this. Tee hee, it was in his butt. The Human race sitting on their butts not leaving home because it’s not safe sound familiar. The Face of Boe gets a nod again. I feel like it’s been a while in Doctor Who since we’ve seen transmats. EXTERMINATE! Confidential There’s a dude in the… Read More »Doctor Who Story 166 – Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways

Doctor Who Story 165 – Boom Town

Episode Who at Doctor Who central, thought the Slitheen were so go they needed a follow up? Why is the farting a thing? The chase scene with the teleport is comic gold. Jack is so excited about everything and it’s really nice. Rose has bad taste in men. Russell T. Davies’ era is so kinky. This is surprisingly a fun episode. Good on Mickey for going out with Tricia. Bad on Rose for saying mean things about her because she’s “a bit thick.” Mickey, you’re right. It’s always going to be the Doctor. There’s no reason to scream at Rose, just realize that it’s over and move on. Rose should… Read More »Doctor Who Story 165 – Boom Town

Doctor Who Story 164 – The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances

The Empty Child No recap, that’s good. She uses Spock like it’s a verb. Maybe say “pull out a tricorder” not “give me some Spock,” unless she wants to get some action with Leonard Nimoy. He was still alive in 2005, it’s okay. The Doctor talking to a cat is great, and I wish her new companion would be a cat. Not a sentient cat. Just an actual cat. The girl who plays the sister/mother of the “are you my mummy” boy looks like she’s famous. I can’t place her face, I looked her up, she’s Florence Hoath and she hasn’t acted since 2008 and I have not seen anything… Read More »Doctor Who Story 164 – The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances

Doctor Who Story 158 – The End of the World

Episode Oh, we get a “previously on.” Eccleston’s hurt when Rose says, “you think you’re so impressive” is great. Psychic paper makes its debut. The Appearance of the Repeated Meme is really just an animated gif. The giant jukebox being called an iPod is still a great joke. Nice to have someone call out the Doctor on his lack of consent. A suggestion to someone developing the operating system for an observation platform. If something is going to kill any living being, maybe make it require more than one button. Perhaps also have sensors to check if there’s an occupant. There’s the first “bad wolf” mention. Cassandra’s love of purity… Read More »Doctor Who Story 158 – The End of the World
