Doctor Who, Episode 713: The Name of the Doctor

- by in Headline, Popcorn

Errata: I largely dismissed a Gaiman-written ep last week without rousing any sort of complaint or protest. I started this season by wrongly identifying a voice actor and that was a crime. Don’t you people have any standards? Our finale episode of Doctor Who opens with a reeling orgy of fan service, with Clara time-shifting […]

Doctor Who, Episode 712: Nightmare in Silver

- by in Headline, Popcorn

This week’s episode of Doctor Who opens on the set where Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing, which has been preserved at Pinewood studios under quarantine as part of an implacable, ossified turf war between a bunch of scary old spooks in MI5 and the NSA. Kidding, it’s some sort of interstellar carnival ride thing […]

Doctor Who, Episode 711: The Crimson Horror

- by in Headline, Popcorn

We open our merry Victorian episode of Doctor Who on the set of the Every Sperm is Sacred number from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. Or as it’s better known, Yorkshire. Edmund has resolved to get to the bottom of this dark and queer business, and rushes off behind the door with the red glow. […]

Doctor Who, Episode 710: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

- by in Headline, Popcorn

We open this week’s episode of Doctor Who on the Nostromo/Nebuchadnezzar, or rather, the dingy greenish interior of a spaceship with grouchy dudes arguing about salvage. One of them is an android, one’s sleeping. And I’m guessing two of them are the Van Baalen bros., so one plays guitar and the other drums. Doc & […]

Doctor Who, Episode 709: Hide

- by in Headline, Popcorn

We open in 1974, and this being England, it could pass for any time from 1950 to 1978 to me. If we’re in Scotland, my apologies. Anyway, drafty country estate, roomful of mad scientist electronics, Doctor and his lovely assistant at work on a mystery. No, not The Doctor, some other chap in cool glasses. […]

Doctor Who, Episode 708: Cold War

- by in Headline, Popcorn

North Pole! 1983! Not even really the 80s yet! Pretty much the 70s with cheaper synths! And beneath the slightly cheesy looking CGI depths, it’s a Soviet sub! And holy dickens, it’s Davos from Game of Thrones! His beard looks fantastic! OK, I’ll settle down. Capt. Davos and his sinister 2nd in command are doing […]

Doctor Who, Episode 707: The Rings of Akhaten

- by in Headline, Popcorn

The Doctor is moping around greater Manchester in the 80s, reading a Dennis the Menace comic and stalking young lovers. Must not be a big week for disasters in need of averting. A bit of additional stalking reveals that these are present-day Souffle Girl’s parents, and that her mom died some years ago, and her […]

Doctor Who, Episode 706: The Bells of Saint John

- by in Headline, Popcorn

So we left The Doctor in Victorian London, gleefully throwing himself into the Mystery of Souffle Girl, having nominally defeated Withnail and his snow globe via the magic of ruining Xmas. Which was touching and funny and if Souffle Girl has a nebbishy and eternally persistent boyfriend I quit this show forever. I enjoyed the […]

Doctor Who 2012 Christmas Special: The Snowmen

- by in Headline, Images, Popcorn

We open with snowy Victorian England: Lonely child, fussing parents, and predatory alien grooming an accomplice in deep, commanding tones. And in keeping with Doctor Who tradition, damaged child grows into venerable British actor, and we get… Withnail! Collecting fake snow in jars! Withnail’s imaginary friend has grown into a huge steampunk snow globe slash […]

Would you give in to alien junkie demands? – Torchwood Children of Earth

Would you give in to alien junkie demands? – Torchwood Children of Earth

- by in Blue Blood

This week BBC America ran the Torchwood miniseries Children of Earth one episode a night all week building to tonight’s epic finale. Sunday, they will run the whole Torchwood Children of Earth series with all five episodes back to back, so there is still time to catch it. Purely from an entertainment perspective, I recommend […]
