Oh yay, “Extremis,” everyone’s favorite episode of Doctor Who! For the love of all that is holy, please understand that was sarcasm. Continuing on from the space-blindness of Peter’s previous attempts to save Bill, it is time to look inside the vault. We…

Ahh, the slump of Series 10, where all the dark and moody episodes come to bore the tears out of you. “Oxygen” and “Extremis” are the two episodes that with a good 30 minutes on the clock, few people would remember when…

The truth of “Hell Bent” is that there are a few moments that are fan service, and even my cold dead heart(s?) flutter into higher rhythms at them. The moment where Peter is sitting outside the shack, surrounded by the proles of…

I think for the first time in several months now, I’m excited for Doctor Who again. Since the announcement of Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor, I’ve done nothing but smile and feel happy about the future of Doctor Who. I was already heralding the return of…
