There was this thing around about 2006-2007 that was in just about every show of the time that I like: Hustle, Ugly Betty, and Doctor Who. This was the first and only episode in Who to use it, and I think that works. It…

Yes, you are reading the title correctly; I’m including the supplemental episode “Time Crash,” but why? Well, it is two Doctors (5 and 10), it is as Moffat-esque as Moffat can get with only a few moments, and it is the lead…

I’ll be the first one to admit it. I don’t think the B and C plots of this final story of Series 3, starting with last week’s “Utopia,” stand up too well. Don’t get me wrong: I like them, and I think…

It is a testament to the concept and damning praise on the episodes themselves, but I can easily name most of the episodes in the three series I’ve covered so far. This double-bill isn’t quite so easy. I wondered while I drafted…

In the last few days, I’ve watched both some of the most infuriating and best Doctor Who there is. Not only that, but I’ve also been listening to it and learning more about Evelyn Smythe who I’m ranking up there with Martha as…
