Doctor Who Story 207 – The Vampires of Venice

Rory is wearing a stupid tshirt from his bachelor party. I recently walked by a woman wearing a shirt that says “I Do Team” or something like that. Made me think how horrible our society is that we make clothing for one wear only. HAHAHA! The Doctor, the cake, telling Rory that Amy tried to kiss him, and he’s a lucky man, she’s a great kisser. I love this show so much. Oh great a plague episode. It’s more fun when we’re in a plague ourselves. Amy’s a bit mean to Rory. My wife makes a good point. Amy is a stripper, so Rory should be less nervous about a… Read More »Doctor Who Story 207 – The Vampires of Venice

Doctor Who Story 206 – The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone

The Time of Angels River’s great. Sulky Doctor because River is better than him is great. I forgot how great this episode was because I was focused on how bad the story is. See, and the video clip moving is dumb, but the interactions between the Doctor and Amy, River and the Doctor, Amy and River are all so good. The Doctor is on Virginia Woolf’s bowling team? Hmm, she died in 1941, a lot later than I would have thought. Amy’s hand turning to stone. Is that a reference to the Pompeii episode she was in? The best part of this story is truly the relationship of those three… Read More »Doctor Who Story 206 – The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone

Doctor Who Story 205 – Victory of the Daleks

That’s not John Lithgow. “Would you care for some tea?” Once again Amy is proving herself to be more intelligent than any previous Nu Who companions. The British bombers in space yelling “tally ho” is amazing. This is the most British show there is. What’s the translation of rels to seconds? This is why Google exists. “A rel was approximately 1.2 seconds.” Amy really shines through in this episode. It’s really obvious why she’s my favourite companion of the modern era. Here’s some more Lithgow.

Doctor Who Story 204 – The Beast Below

What adult doesn’t think this education system is creepy as fuck? The Doctor is such a liar, but I like this intro to adventures with him. I’ve never loved this episode, but I certainly love Matt Smith and Karen Gillan. The Doctor pushing off that he’s the last of his species with, “Long day, bad day” is prefect. Close your mouths! They always went on about how Rose was brilliant, but I think they show Amy’s smarts.

Doctor Who Story 203 – The Eleventh Hour

Hate the new logo, but the rest of the opening credits is an upgrade… though the old logo sucked, too. Amy praying to Santa is great. I like that the TARDIS has a swimming pool in the library. Matt Smith is great. The whole eating scene is such a great scene for the wackiness and wonderfulness that is Matt Smith. The Doctor leaving for “five minutes” and Amelia’s reply of “people always say that” is heartbreaking. And now she’s packing a bag to run off with the Doctor. Rory! Olivia Colman! Oscar winner, Olivia Colman! Amy is great! This doctor needs to listen to her staff. “Do I just have… Read More »Doctor Who Story 203 – The Eleventh Hour

Doctor Who Story 202 – The End of Time

Dreamland A decent story about Area 51 would be nice, but I don’t think this is it. But it’s nice that David and Georgia got to work together again. I assume they were a couple by this point. The Doctor making Die Hard and Alien references is great. I wouldn’t mind the Doctor having an indigenous companion. Uh oh, the military is controlled by an alien. This animation style makes David Tennant look sickly. There’s too many groups in this story. The US military, the Roswell Greys, the insects, the swarm, the robots. People pick up the TARDIS way too easily. Doctor, don’t set up other people with your wife.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 202 – The End of Time

Doctor Who story xx – The Sarah Jane Adventures series 3

Prisoner of the Judoon They’ve added a saga sell to the beginning of the episodes. Quantum Leap always had the best one. Watching The Sarah Jane Adventures right after Torchwood‘s “Children of Earth” makes me think that Jack should have called Sarah Jane. She has expertise of working with children. How does Sarah Jane know about the Judoon? I love the spray bottle. “Mr Smith, if your central processor fully functional?” Well that escalated quickly. Mr Smith is going to blow up all of Bannerman Road. Wow, Elizabeth Sladen is terrible at playing the baddy. I hate saying this. Wow, I think that’s the first contract security that act realistically.… Read More »Doctor Who story xx – The Sarah Jane Adventures series 3

Doctor Who Story 201 – The Waters of Mars

Before this aired most of series 3 of Sarah Jane Adventures had aired, but the blog post will be after this one, as there’s two more episodes. I am watching in order, though. You don’t tend to see the Doctor in a spacesuit as he leaves the TARDIS. That robot’s adorable. Gadget Gadget needs a bit of work. It’s gotta suck being the Doctor, you can’t go anywhere and just enjoy yourself. Like most Doctor Who stories, this story makes absolutely no sense. When the Doctor replies to Brook to tell her the reason he’s telling her about her family’s future is “for consolation” is heart wrenching. Put on spacesuits.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 201 – The Waters of Mars

Doctor Who Story xx – Torchwood: Children of Earth

Tonight’s The Night This is a mini-episode of Doctor Who that aired between “Planet of the Dead” and series 3 of Torchwood. Since it’s Jack in the TARDIS, I’m going to lump it in with Torchwood. That was terrible, until David Tennant showed up. Day One It’s Malcolm fucking Tucker! Aka, the Doctor! Rhys is always an asshole, even to children. Does everyone in Cardiff know about Torchwood and what they do? Those people in a hospital not wearing masks is wrong. I’m too surrounded by COVID. The laser sutures should be commercialized. Someone’s in Vancouver. Vancouver is great. Would be so much better if Martha was able to be… Read More »Doctor Who Story xx – Torchwood: Children of Earth

Doctor Who Story 200 – Planet of the Dead

I recall enjoying this episode, but another one I don’t think I’ve seen more than once, or at least not since 2010. This is really bad security. There’s no laser roof. There should be a laser roof. Don’t take off your mask while you’re still in the museum. That’s the stupidest idea, ever. Why do the holiday specials need to have some element of the holiday? I guess it works that I’m watching this episode on Good Friday. I’m just annoyed there’s never been a Pesach special or a Yom Kippur episode. Why is UNIT arriving for a simple heist? Oh god, alien hands pointing at screens. Worst Doctor Who… Read More »Doctor Who Story 200 – Planet of the Dead
