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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
If my glowing review of the Doctor Who Christmas special back in December was any indication, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the official start of the latest season of Who for a couple of months now. I’ve been a fan of Ncuti Gatwa’s for a bit now, and his take on the Fifteenth Doctor has, so […]
You know your enjoying the latest incarnation of Doctor Who when your only complaint is that the latest sonic screwdriver is a bridge too far in terms of qualifying as anything in the realm of a “screwdriver.” Because that is such a minor quibble to have in terms of the story, characters, and aesthetic of […]
Full disclosure, if I had to pick a favorite season of the modern Doctor Who it would, without question, be season four. The relationship between the Doctor – played in this incarnation by David Tennant – and Donna – the impeccable Catherine Tate, showing she has the dramatic chops to more than match her comedic […]
