    Doctor Who

    My wife and I enjoyed the episode. We, too, wondered if Rogue was being set up to be a new Captain Jack. I'm afraid, though, that I'm not following Neil's question. As far as Even though the Doctor was able to expand the parameters of the trap to increase the number of creatures it could...

    Doctor Who

    It's starts off as just another horrifying satire on social media (and "influencers") addiction, and was thoroughly saved by the ending. (Didn't The Doctor say in "The Last Chord" that there's always a twist at the end? ;) ). But most of all, I have to take back the comment I made in an...

    I confess that for a second I was wondering why I didn't see Ncuti Gatwa in that shot... 🤔

    Doctor Who

    So, this evening my wife and I watched "Boom" and "73 Yards". As I said before, I was at the point of passing on watching any more of the current episodes, but my wife wanted to get caught up, and I felt I should at least give Moffat's episode a shot. Both episodes were among the best episodes...

    Doctor Who

    I didn't realize the the latest episode was Moffat's. I had given up watching the show during the Jody Whitaker run. I love Whitaker in general, and liked her as The Doctor, but the scripts were continuing to decline. To be fair, I thought they were starting to decline during the Capaldi era...

    Doctor Who

    I was ambivalent about this special. I like the cast/characters, but the story didn't do too much for me. The goblin sky ship bits reminded my wife and I of Stardust, and we were half expecting the Can-Can to come into play at some point. ;) My guess for the identity of Ruby's mother is I do...

    Doctor Who

    The Doctor-Donna combo is my wife's and my favorite incarnation of the Doctor and companion (full disclosure: I'm not a fan of the classic Who, so my experiences prior to Eccleston are virtually nil). Both Tennant and Tate slipped back into these roles like putting on old, comfortable slippers...

    Doctor Who

    He will be when the next regular season starts. These are three specials. At the end of Jodie Whitaker's run, she regenerated into David Tennant. First time this sort of thing happened. This new Tennant doctor will be #14, instead of #10, and he apparently has a different personality than #10...

    I guess Ruby Tuesday was already taken.

    Doctor Who

    Well, it does have a British French captain. As Paul mentioned, regardless of the name including "BBC", it really is largely just another American cable network. Most of its "original" series, like Copper, Orphan Black, and Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency were all produced in US/Canada...

    Doctor Who

    Can't say I was that thrilled by this special. It felt like too much of an "everything but the kitchen sink" kind of episode, where it seemed like Chibnall wanted to get everything out of his system for his finale. To be honest, I gave up on the show half-way through "Flux". I love Jody...

    Doctor Who

    I'd never heard of him, either, but apparently, he's gotten a few BAFTA nominations, and one win, so he's no slouch.

    Doctor Who

    (1) To be completely honest, I'd rather it was Moffat saving the day than Davies. Even during Davies' reign, it was the Moffat episodes that really stood out for me. (2) That Hulk run by Bruce Jones was one of the few bright moments from a rather lackluster period of Marvel, along with Mike...

    Doctor Who

    My wife is a big fan of DW, both Classic Who and New Who. I was never a fan of the classic stuff, but I backed into the New Who after watching Torchwood, and being curious about the stuff in DW that set it up. I'd been watching it along with my wife ever since. That said, somewhere in the...
