I'm guessing that Moffat finally gave DW fans, in series 9,  what they want:  a "dark" Doctor, a downer of a series, and a Christmas episode redolent of the Rusty era, right down to the death of hundreds of people.  In fact, a lot of "The Husbands of River Song" seems a reworking of the odious "Voyage of the Damned"  (a title which always struck me ( Read more... )

Big Finish....I'm not entirely sure what it is, just that it's some sort of audio play; I think it's UK, but that might be just because all I know of it is that I keep hearing about Doctor Who Big Finish.  That's the extent of my knowledge..... :D

Now, apparently, there's going to be Torchwood Big Finish and--guess what!--Ianto's back!  Yes, the ( Read more... )

Well, not quite that long.  Long enough, though.......

Thinking about posting hasn't quite gotten me to posting, until now.  Maybe it's the BBCA Doctor Who marathon currently going on:  I've no idea why it's playing, but I've had it on all morning and I'm finding that it is making me very much miss Matt Smith ( Read more... )

All hail Moffat. What else can one say ( Read more... )

Still thinking about "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe" (DWW)....This time, because I'm thinking how much I love Moffat's depiction of women in not only that episode, but the whole series run.  I like tuning in and feeling confident that I am not going to be insulted with, yet again, some stereotype of useless females.  Particularly useless ( Read more... )

 

The Doctor: If I don't like your plan, it will end.
Mr. Finch: Fascinating. Your people were peaceful to the point of indolence. You seem to be something new. Would you declare war on us, Doctor?
The Doctor: I'm so old now. I used to have so much mercy. You get one warning. That was it.

So, Starz live streamed CoE2 last night.  No, I did not watch it; I read a couple of online summaries of what happened, and I am currently absorbing one tidbit....

So.  Oswald is a former teacher, as well as a child rapist/murderer.  But, the ludicrous plot device everyone is supposed to swallow is that he's set free after the lethal injection does ( Read more... )

How many eyerolls?  I'm not sure; I have to think about it ( Read more... )

Big article in the St. Pete Times this morning on CoE2....Very much emphasizing the American flavor of the show--no need to know anything about TW, because it's all brand new "to keep U. S. audiences interested."

The author (Eric Deggans) of the article thinks Barrowman is the lead in the show (insert *laugh* here) and  identifies Jack as "an ( Read more... )
