Doctor Who Revisited: “Dalek”

January 25th, 2011 · No Comments · doctor who, reviews, television

DALEK: I am alone in the universe. DOCTOR: Yep. DALEK: So are you. We are the same. The Daleks have been around since the very beginning, almost, of the Doctor Who series, and they’ve remained virtually unchanged since then, if not slightly updated. They were created out of the Kaled race on the planet Skaro [...]

Doctor Who Revisited: “Aliens of London”/ “WWIII”

January 5th, 2011 · No Comments · doctor who, reviews, television

I’ve been putting off writing these recaps, even after opting to smush the episodes together, because I have very little to say about them. Not among my favorite episodes, these; in fact, pretty far removed from that list. I think the story — aliens who look like this yet masquerade as humans in order to [...]

Doctor Who, “The Unquiet Dead”

December 14th, 2010 · No Comments · doctor who, television

I think of “The Unquiet Dead” as the last installment of the retooled Doctor Who‘s introductory trilogy. We’ve met him, travelled with him far into the future and met all sorts of aliens — good, bad, and neutral — and now, we go with him to the past. It’s Victorian England (my favorite!), and someone’s [...]

Repost: Doctor Who, “End of the World”

December 10th, 2010 · No Comments · doctor who, television

Here’s the other Doctor Who post from June. Look for new ones early next week. – I’m a Time Lord. I’m the last of the Time Lords. They’re all gone. I’m the only survivor. I’m left travelling on my own because there’s no one else. – There’s me . . . Right, so: after the [...]

Repost: Doctor Who – “Rose”

December 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments · doctor who, television

Hey guys. I’m cheating a bit with the “blog every day” thing, but it’s been so long since I first wrote these Doctor Who posts that I thought it would be a good idea to refresh before I do the third episode of the first season. So. There it is. And here you go. ++++++++ [...]

Looking Back at Doctor Who: End of the World

June 15th, 2010 · 5 Comments · doctor who, reviews, television

– I’m a Time Lord. I’m the last of the Time Lords. They’re all gone. I’m the only survivor. I’m left travelling on my own because there’s no one else. – There’s me . . . Right, so: after the introductory episode in which we establish that the Doctor is alien and has a spaceship [...]

Year of living sluggishly

June 11th, 2010 · 5 Comments · writing

Hey kids, you know what today is? Besides the World Cup kickoff. 1 Today marks my one-year anniversary with unemployment. Well, technically, it’s tomorrow. June 12th, 2009 was my last day of full-time work — and it wasn’t even a full day’s worth, since I’d normally spend Friday afternoons preparing for Monday’s newsletters. But I’m [...]

Looking Back at Doctor Who: Rose

June 10th, 2010 · 1 Comment · doctor who, reviews, television

If you’re from another planet, how come you sound like you’re from the North? Lots of planets have a North. Confession: Though I enjoyed the few episodes I watched, I was never a huge Doctor Who fan. If I remember correctly, in the early 80s the show came on directly after 3-2-1 Contact, and I [...]
