More voiceovers. They keep on saying Amy and Rory are older, but they don’t show it. They look exactly the same. Is that the guy from Whose Line Is It Anyway and Office Space? Yes, yes it is. Mike McShane. I hate everything about this episode. I miss Amy and Rory.
So many voiceovers in Doctor Who. Too many voiceovers in Doctor Who. This terrible voiceover sounds like the intro to a “quirky” sitcom. Chris Chibnall, you can do better. Oh god! new clips… NOOOOOOOO! I thought we were done with that now that we’re done with Russell T. Davies. And now Amy is a writer? Where did that come from? Kate Stewart being head of UNIT is good. Flickr! Remember Flickr? Brian is always good. Brian asks how he long Amy and Rory were travelling during their party. He then asks what happens to other companions. The Doctor informs him that some, very few, but some die. The Doctor also… Read More »Doctor Who Story 229 – The Power of Three
Oh god, it starts with a terrible voiceover with a terrible American accent. So here’s a problem with the Doctor bringing his friends in once in a while, he is only calling on them when the stakes are high. So why did he bring in Amy and Rory to this episode? There’s no stakes, yet they just so happen to be with him. It makes no sense, and it also doesn’t help that this episode sucks. This is much better of a plot than I remembered. If it wasn’t a bad western, it might have been a decent episode. Also, I’m annoyed at the whole Amy and Rory not travelling… Read More »Doctor Who Story 228 – A Town Called Mercy
I really don’t like this whole Doctor travelling on his own, and having buddies that he calls on. I forgot I like Brian. I haven’t seen the Jumanji movies, but I feel that this should have Jack Black in it. Yup, I love Brian. They should tie these pterodactyls to Torchwood. I forgot Mitchell and Webb are in this. I wanna ride a triceratops. Brian staring down at Earth while siting out the door of the TARDIS is what I want.
I feel like Moffat just throws ideas at the Doctor Who wall and thinks “that’s a good enough explanation. Like why is Amy suddenly a model? Why is Amy separated from Rory? Why is Rory suddenly an asshole? Oh yeah, you’re never going to explain that. Why are they playing Wizard of Oz music? Why is Clara so bad at making soufflés? It’s not that hard. I hate that they’re wasting the first episode on Clara. I want more Amy and Rory, and they’re about to leave the show. So they didn’t talk for years? That’s why they split up? What fucking stupidity. Also, adoption is a thing. Also, you… Read More »Doctor Who Story 226 – Asylum of the Daleks
Prequel That just made me sad that Amy wasn’t there. The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe I don’t remember anything at all about this Christmas special. Is the Doctor just hanging out in the the vacuum of space? Wow this is more ridiculous than Doctor Who normally is. How can the Doctor fall from space and be fine, but yet, he falls off a small tower and regenerates into Peter Davison. I remember absolutely none of this. Now I remember this, and now I want the Doctor as my caretaker. Why aren’t Amy and Rory in this? Oh, it’s Bill Bailey. This episode is so bad. Oh my god,… Read More »Doctor Who Story 225 – The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe
Death Is The Only Answer This is terrible, but it was written by children, so that makes sense. Prequel Oh god, the stupid nursery rhyme. The Wedding of River Song I want a balloon attached to my car. Moffat’s trying to be clever and over-complicated, and while this makes some sense, it’s put together so poorly. Aww, the Brigadier passed away. I don’t care about this alternative timeline. Why are they focusing so much on this? This is really why Moffat is bad. Why are they getting married? This isn’t necessary to get out of their predicament. Also, why is he going through all of this, he had a plan,… Read More »Doctor Who Story 224 – The Wedding of River Song
I watched this one late last night when I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t bring my laptop, so I didn’t write notes. So the obvious thing to do is to compare “Closing Time” with “The Lodger.” What’s the Lodger? It was the other episode with James Corden. Both episodes had a mediocre story. Both episodes are Amy/Rory-light episodes. Both episodes are silly. The problem though is that while “The Lodger” has a rough idea of a story, it doesn’t focus on it, the episode is really about the relationship between Craig (James Corden) and the Doctor (Matt Smith, do I need to write that?). “Closing Time” is very plot focused, plus… Read More »Doctor Who Story 223 – Closing Time
I don’t think I had seen this episode more than once. It left a bad taste in my mouth originally. I actually like this more than I expected. I don’t love the concept of it, but I really do like the guest cast and how the characters interact. Surprisingly, I even like David Walliams. So this is apparently the end of companions living on the TARDIS with the Doctor for the remainder of Moffat’s time as showrunner. I really don’t know why and I really don’t like this concept of the Doctor popping and in and out of his companions’ lives. The Doctor travels with someone and doesn’t come back.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 222 – The God Complex
So I apparently have 137 videos left to watch. If I watch one a day, I will finish on September 12, 2021. I wouldn’t mind finishing by June 30th, which means I’d have to watch 2.17 videos a day (some are Confidentials, some was webisodes), I think I can do this. I remember liking this episode. I hope it’s still good. I like that this episode actually shows Amy being smart. I’ve said it before, but it’s a nice change from Tennant’s companions where they never showed us but expected us to believe it. Now that I’m seeing old Amy, I’m remembering that I hated the resolution of killing old… Read More »Doctor Who Story 221 – The Girl Who Waited
