We admit it; we’re impressed. Season seven may have been one of the least consistent, most frustrating seasons of Nu Who, but at least it ended really, really well; so well, in fact, that we’d call this one of the very best episodes of the relaunched series. But let’s...

Nerd-kittens, here are pictures of Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman on location shooting Doctor Who. We’re offering them to you as a way of saying we’re sorry for not getting to a review of the last episode and also because they’re kind of cute and charming.   Matt...

While it’s always fun to have the Doctor come roaring back into our lives, this episode gnawed a little at the edges of our brain and we couldn’t quite figure out why until the end of the episode and a sense of deja vu settled over us. The Doctor has a new mystery on his hands and...

One of the things that prevented us from ever truly embracing David Tennant’s run as The Doctor (,they wrote, inviting controversy and outrage to follow) was his version’s tendency to get awfully mopey and melodramatic. “Histrionic” is the word we’d use....

Let’s state this up front, so you know what you’re in for and can skip reading if you don’t want to hear it: We didn’t cry. We didn’t even sniffle. Not because we’re heartless, but because, as the final fate of the Pond-Williamses was revealed, we were too...

With their penultimate episode, the Pond-Williamses got a little bit of a Valentine’s card from The Doctor. Ostensibly another alien invasion story, it was really just an excuse to situate The Doctor firmly in the world of Amy and Rory just so he could express how much they mean to him....

Despite the vast differences in their performances, it was somehow not hard to believe that ninth Doctor Christopher Eccleston and tenth Doctor David Tennant were the same being. Even if the latter never once tried to call back to the performance of the former, there was still an underlying...

We watched this in our hotel room during Fashion Week, on a TV that stubbornly refused to show BBC America with anything approaching the description “clarity.” Lorenzo was busy and didn’t pay too much attention to the show, but about halfway through, he looked up from his...

Never did care for the Daleks. We figured we’d open with a doozy. After all, how can one claim to be a Doctor Who fan and simultaneously declare, at best, their ambivalence toward his greatest enemies (arguably)? It’s like being a Batman fan but disliking the Joker; like loving...

Darlings, in our ongoing efforts to be as transparent as possible, here are some pictures for nerds and fangurls to squee over while we have coffee and figure out what else to write about today. It’s Doctor Who‘s Matt Smith and Karen Gillan shooting the show’s 11,000th...

Our TV blogging roster is pretty heavy right now, and about to get heavier with the Walking Dead season 2 premiere less than two weeks away, but we figured we’d give our thoughts on some of the more notable television offerings out there. Because “opinionated” is in the...
