Doctor Who Story 184 – 42
I just noticed as the Doctor fixes Martha’s mobile phone that she has a landline. I feel bad for Martha’s mother. Wow, this is a boring episode. Not as bad as I remembered, but so so so boring.
David Tennant
Doctor Who Story 183 – The Lazarus Experiment
Don’t touch Martha’s undies. You’re an asshole, Doctor. Martha has more than proven herself. Creepy dude creeping. “Do you think I’d spend another lifetime with you?” Wow dude. Martha’s mother should be concerned by the Doctor. This episode is better than I remembered. Not great, but not so terrible. Tee hee, he reversed the polarity. How did playing the organ save the world? We’re half way through the season and Martha’s only now a companion.
Doctor Who Story 182 – Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks
Daleks in Manhattan Oh, those New York accents. Are the pigs related to the ones from the Slitheen episode? Pretty rude to walk through a community and talk about the people as if they aren’t there. *gasp* There are Daleks! This is my favourite “Manhattan” story… Panels of Dalek bumps. Evolution of the Daleks Aww, I liked Solomon. “Never waste time with a hug.” Oh Doctor, you’ve never been more wrong. Oh the Frankensteinian dropping of the bodies from the ceiling. Now, do they remember their military training from World War I? Or were they injected with Dalek military training altered for a human form. I want a Dalek gun,… Read More »Doctor Who Story 182 – Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks
Doctor Who Story 181 – Gridlock
The Doctor is a jerk for taking Martha to New New York. You never pined for Jamie and he was the best companion. I want some happy. Martha’s quick to judge drug use while pregnant in the distant future. She doesn’t know how these drugs affect a baby in utero. Kitty cat! KITTIES!!!! They shouldn’t write this homophobic cat in a way that makes us want to like him. Oh yeah, I forgot the Macra were the baddies in this one. They’re all singing, this is horrible. The bat person makeup is horrible. Think of all the exhaust coming up and going down and all those cars he’s opened up.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 181 – Gridlock
Doctor Who Story 180 – The Shakespeare Code
Okay, the ridiculous witches are great. I don’t remember liking this episode, but that was fun. Okay, I was right, the episode was titled this based on “The DaVinci Code” which was a horrible book. The butterfly effect is important and I love that the Doctor just brushes it off. He also brushes off Martha’s race, but that’s kinda an important factor her time traveling and not something Davies is talented enough to address in a children’s show. Does the author go to every performance of his shows? Why would you should “Author” at the end of a show? Shakespeare is gross. The Globe is smaller than I would think.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 180 – The Shakespeare Code
Doctor Who Story 179 – Smith and Jones
I forgot that we start through the eyes of Martha, and we meet her family right away. I like this. Martha’s dad’s girlfriend is horrible. The Doctor giving Martha his tie (somewhat randomly) is awesome. David Tennant is great. That old lady is the baddie. It’s really quick why I remember that Martha is my favourite of Tennant’s companions. She is lovely. The people just screaming because they’re on the moon are ridiculous. Sure that’s unexpected, but I think I’d be more in awe than panic. The Doctor is an asshole. “Not her, she’ll hold us up.” Though, he is right. The Doctor likes her. It’s a good thing the… Read More »Doctor Who Story 179 – Smith and Jones
Doctor Who Serial 178 – The Runaway Bride
This is a nice break from Torchwood. This aired between the 11th and 12th episodes of Torchwood, so I’m hopping over to some more family friendly fare. I’m going to post all the spinoffs by season, so expect season 1 of Torchwood to appear here soon. Donna Nobel coming into the TARDIS and yelling at the Doctor is the best. “Dumbo” is a weird comment on Tennant, maybe Eccleston. Donna’s shock at the TARDIS being bigger on the inside is the best. This is so anxiety-inducing. The Doctor should get an app instead of using strings to pilot the TARDIS, which I don’t quite understand how that works, but you… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 178 – The Runaway Bride
Doctor Who Story 177 – Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
Tardisode Torchwood are a bunch of assholes. Army of Ghosts “Planet Earth, this is where I was born, and this is where I die.” No, you’re going to die on a parallel earth. You didn’t die, and you can’t narrate your own death! This whole terrible thread is making me look forward to Billie leaving. I do love Martha. Jackie kissing the Doctor is amazing. Yay! The Torchwood theme song. Freema’s a babe! The Doctor is more Scooby Doo than Ghostbuster. She’s wearing two bluetooth headsets. That just seems silly. Also, remember bluetooth headsets? I think that’s the first “allons y.” I love Jackie as “Rose.” I want real Martha.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 177 – Army of Ghosts/Doomsday
Doctor Who Story 176 – Fear Her
Tardisode Is that supposed to be a true crime YouTube channel? If it was done now, it would be a podcast. Episode Before we start, this episode sucks. So, old lady should be prime suspect now. Mom wakes up a kids laptop and it’s streaming live news. Really? That’s what a kid was doing on her laptop? This kid needs some mental health support. Wow, this kid is going through some serious trauma and the mom just wants her to forget her dead dad. Who thought it was a good idea to have a Doctor Who story centring around a child? Did she just whisper “feel the love” into a… Read More »Doctor Who Story 176 – Fear Her
Doctor Who Story 175 – Love & Monsters
Tardisode These Tardisodes are really bad. Love & Monsters I love the Scooby Doo scene in this episode. This is the second time they’ve called back to the Slitheen. I love that Elton loves ELO. Stop foreshadowing deaths that aren’t deaths. Ursula doesn’t die. Mr. Skinner’s novel is great. I love this group of people that come together for something silly, a time travelling alien, and just become genuine friends. If this episode were just LINDA hanging out, it would be better. Elton trying to “infiltrate” Jackie is amazing. Jackie’s a slut, and I love it. I also love the high percentage of this episode that features “Mr. Blue Sky.”… Read More »Doctor Who Story 175 – Love & Monsters
