I'm currently embarking on a marathon of the Tenth Doctor's era in preparation for his final episodes later this year. Thought I'd share my thoughts as I go along. Thanks in advance for indulging me ( Read more... )

I took the plunge and decided to try and do something with "The Stolen Earth/Journey's End". I have not watched "Journey's End" since that monumental disappointment on first viewing it. Being able to cut out the (majority) of the bits I disliked certainly helped get through it. Here's what I trimmed from these two episodes:

• The ridiculous notion ( Read more... )

I finished up my edit of the much-maligned Colin Baker adventure "Timelash", and it turned out pretty darn good (if I do say so myself). Just to show how much padding was clogging up this story, I cut over 30 minutes and it wasn't detrimental to the plot in any way, shape or form. For a bit of added fun, I did a second version using an old film ( Read more... )

I'm watching Paul McGann's solo TV adventure for the first time in what seems like ages. Although it's a bit thin on actual plot, I can't help liking it despite its many faults. I believe any kinks would have surely been ironed out if the TV Movie had gone to a full series. It's interesting to note just how much of the New Series was influenced by ( Read more... )

I've heard/read some crazy theories in my 23 years of being a Doctor Who fan. But the latest whirling around Karen Gillan's casting as the Eleventh Doctor's companion take the cake. For instance: she's a regenerated Donna; she's a young River Song; the show's going Twilight...

Gimme a freaking break!

Now I'm all for the fun of speculating, but c'mon ( Read more... )

Woo-hoo! This is the first time I've ever been caught up on all the Doctor Who DVD releases. It's a good feeling ( Read more... )

I've been reading reports pointing toward a RTD-written film starring David Tennant becoming very much a reality. This is a terrible idea if my opinion counts for anything. Torchwood is far more popular in the States than Doctor Who, and it's nowhere near high profile enough to turn a profit "across the pond". If a feature film does happen, I fear ( Read more... )

I recently watched a fan edit of "Army of Ghosts/Doomsday" (cutting it into a feature-length movie). I would post my thoughts on the story, but I fear I would alienate the few Doctor Who friends I have!

Watching the series from start to finish, I have my own preference in the viewing order. Yes, I'm weird (no shock there). This only effects Seasons ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to post my thoughts for a while, but I kept getting sidetracked. Anyway, it was a treat to enjoy the story on DVD as I have very fond memories of "Terror of the Vervoids". Considering how quickly it was written (after 3 or 4 other scripts fell through) it all holds together incredibly well. On the production side, it screams " ( Read more... )
