Doctor Who

Resolution

Oh, I so desperately wanted Doctor Who Season 11 Episode 11 to wow us with something super flashy and potentially ridiculous. With its return pushed back to 2020, it would've also been satisfying to go out on an episode of consequence, one that leaves us with something to think about for the next TWELVE LONG MONTHS. Not that it wasn't exciting in parts. Even if there was only ONE Dalek. But it was a SUPER Dalek which was a twist. I guess? The issue is, and it'... more

It Takes You Away

I honestly believe Doctor Who Season 11 Episode 9 probably pissed me off more than any show I've watched this year. But I'm not totally sure it's completely warranted.  Related: Get Britbox via Prime Video Channels for the biggest streaming collection of TV from BBC & ITV...ever. Where I'll usually pick apart some moral ambiguities or technical/continuity gaps, my problem with the episode is the ginormous emotional sl... more

The Witchfinders

Wow. Okay. So that all happened. Doctor Who Season 11 Episode 8 manages to address multiple levels of societal and historical misogyny, imply a royal penchant for "exotic" looking young men, AND bring zombies into play.

Doctor Who Season 11 Finale Recap: Can't Find a Better Man

Jodie Whittaker’s first season as the Doctor came to an end just as it began, with TEAM Tardis taking on Tim Shaw — or, rather, Tzim-Sha, as it was spelled differently in the finale credits. It was satisfying to see the season’s best and most intimidating villain return, hell bent on revenge. But he wasn’t the only one with that particular mission: Would Graham kill Tzim-Shaw if he got the chance to avenge Grace’s death? Let’s recap. ‘WE’RE GONNA RESCUE HOSTAGES, ANYTHING THAT COMPROMISES THEM... more

Doctor Who Recap: Journey to the Other Side

‘THERE ARE WORSE THINGS OUT THERE THAN PEOPLE’ | The Doctor could tell from eating the soil that the TARDIS had taken them to a remote area of Norway where, sadly, we were 193 years too early to witness the “utter bloodbath” of the Woolly Rebellion, which will redefine the sheep-human relationship in 2211. Team TARDIS saw a boarded-up cottage with a chimney and no smoke in the distance and got curious. Ryan and Graham went upstairs, heard a thud from inside a wardrobe, and decided to op... more

'Doctor Who': The First Female Doctor Makes Her Mark (Spoilers)

The moment the Doctor realizes that she is now a “she” goes by in the blink of an eye. Having fallen clear out of the sky and through the roof of a train under alien attack — and losing her trusty TARDIS in the process, no less — the Doctor has more important things to do than consider the fact of her gender. It’s not until someone calls her “madam” and informs her that she’s a woman that she actually slows down to consider the implications. “Am I?” she says, eyebrows raising with mild curiosity. &ldqu... more
