As Doctor Who approaches it’s 50th anniversary next year, BBC America has put out the call for people to write their “New to Who” stories – basically what got you into the show originally. Given BBC America is running just the modern show, I suspect the majority of the people’s responses will be about […]
My Review (01×04) For Doctor Who story #4, we come to a story that both surprises me, and pisses me off. Marco Polo is the first of the “lost” stories of the 60’s era of Doctor Who. Lost as in the BBC erased the tapes of it in the early 70’s, due to their thought […]
NOTE: This review originally appeared on Kasterborous here on May 27, 2010. My Review (01×03) A Doctor Who adventure that takes place in the TARDIS? The travellers unsure what is going on? No, it’s not Amy’s Choice – it’s The Edge of Destruction, from 1964… When I was a little kid, I loved the original Star Trek (I […]
NOTE: An abridged version of this review appears on Kasterborous here. My Review (01×02) The Daleks. Something almost as old as Doctor Who itself. As Doctor Who is approaching it’s 50th anniversary, so are the Daleks themselves. They’ve appeared with every incarnation of the Doctor in all these years (although the McGann one is a […]
My Review (01×01) And here we go. The first in about 200+ Doctor Who reviews. I’ve loved the show for a long time, and the 50th anniversary is coming up in about 19 months from the writing of this text, so I thought I’d have a go at writing something about all the stories. I […]
I had to cut cable TV earlier this year due to money issues, and from about May till September I was operating with good old rabbit ears in the house. When they worked, it worked great. But I was getting fed up of the constant moving of the rabbit ears, or the twiddling of the […]
Those who know me know I’m a big Doctor Who dork. Earlier this year, I did this video, which is a complete comprehensive tribute to the series (with clips of every single story from 1963 to 2010). Earlier today I had a friend ask me on Facebook about where he should start with watching the […]
As an Xbox owner, I’ve paid close attention to the offerings on Xbox LIVE Gold, as I’ve been a member of that since it’s inception. My profile bears the “8” mark, which means I’ve been a member for eight years. I was one of the people chosen from the public to test the service before […]
This was on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. MacGruber is a recent vintage SNL recurring bit, and for some reason I laughed really hard at this (especially the third one). My wife witnessed it, and it’s really short, dumb, and it always blows up at the end. For some reason, I really enjoy the […]
First off, I hope it goes over in February, and not June. Folks have been saying it’s coming for years, the February date has been known for quite a long time now. What are you waiting for, people? If you didn’t notice by now, go dark. Meh. Anyway, the question I have is this. In […]
