I had been wondering what had become of Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson, a force in her return to this universe), so I was delighted to see her back on our screen. And even though she didn’t get a chance to reunite with The Doctor once more – this was one of the Doctor-lite episodes that […]
Well, that was quite the episode! Not only did we get a nice call back to the Tennant era of Who (now a pretty common occurrence thanks to Russell T Davies’ return to the helm of the series), but we also got a horror-infused mystery with genuine jump scares (which is a heck of a […]
Okay, Russell T Davies, I can appreciate that fun bit of trolling at the expense of fans and critics you slotted into “Lux.” Meta callouts don’t always work for me, but this one? Yeah, I chuckled. Especially because “Blink” really is the best episode of the modern run of Doctor Who. But you know what? […]
I had my worries when it was announced that Varada Sethu would be joining the cast of Doctor Who as the newest companion for The Doctor, after her successful guest turn as Mundy Flynn in the first series of Who with the Fifteenth Doctor. She was great in the role – and I’m a huge […]
“Joy to the World” is the second Christmas special of the Disney era of Doctor Who. This Christmas-set adventure sees The Doctor team up with Derry Girls/Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan. Joy Almondo (Coughlan) books into a hotel in London on Christmas Day 2024. Her simple stay escalates quickly when a Silurian hotel manager and a […]
After the epic close of last week’s episode, I expected an equally epic conclusion to the story. Alas, what we got was a mixed bag from a storytelling perspective, with our heroes defeating the seemingly undefeatable villain with very little effort on the part of The Doctor. The Ruby reveal, while anti-climactic in the end, […]
We’ve come to the close of this season of Doctor Who, which means that it’s time for Russell T. Davies to dive into the lingering mysteries of the season, hopefully offering explanations that make sense (and resonate on a deeper, character-driven level of storytelling). With part one of the two-part season finale, we get the […]
After last week’s emotional gut-punch of a final note (which we didn’t get any further commentary on this week, not that it was expected but it might have been a nice touch), this episode was much more in the vein of your traditional Doctor Who adventure – except much more queer than in past seasons […]
“What would happen if Doctor Who tried its hand at a Black Mirror episode,” seems like it could have easily been the pitch for “Dot and Bubble,” this week’s Who installment that certainly seemed to pull from the Black Mirror universe in its basic structure – including that gut-punch of a final sequence. And while […]
One of the hallmarks of a great episode of TV is that it can take you through a gamut of emotions throughout its journey to the end. And that’s precisely what “73 Yards” did, as we walked along with Ruby as she not only attempted to solve the question of just who the woman following […]
