Well the time has come for another review.  This is for the month of February, so I’m more than a little on the late side, but unfortunately, real life occasionally demands my presence!  It’s also just as the new Doctor Who is starting to air, so it’s not the best timing, but if I don’t do this now, it’s not going to happen.  February is for ( Read more... )

January is for episode 1 of series 4 - Partners in Crime!  I’m cutting in fine, and I haven’t watched the Confidential episode even though I had planned to, but I’m posting in January in time with my calendar.

Chapter 2 - Catherine, Kylie, and Dennis
In which Kylie Minogue sings the Muppets, Russell turns down a fifth series of Doctor Who, and Charlie Kaufman is told to sod off
