#68 - Doctor Who - The Doctor, The Widow and the Wardrobe

It’s January so time for a Doctor Who review, only the one this year, I’m not covering the New Year’s special. I try and do reviews 2 months in advance and that would completely put me off schedule, maybe next year.

Anyway, you may remember me recovering the Wedding of River Song, spoiler alert: it sucked. But immediately following that was another Doctor Who Christmas special, written by the Grand Moffat himself. Can he redeem the franchise after his last abysmal effort? You already know which review type I’m doing, so you already know the answer to that, let’s dig in

Guilty Pleasures #36 - Time Month - Day of the Doctor

Note: The Bulk of this review was written shortly before the passing of John Hurt. I have made minor alterations since but my opinion of this special is unchanged

It’s time Month!

And I’m still not recovered from Time Shifter’s awfulness I need something half decent to review.

Of course! Doctor Who is staple when it comes to time travel and the like, so tackling something like Doctor Who is an inevitable part of the month. And where Steven Moffat tends to excel is using time tricks in writing episodes, rather than just using the ability of time travel to have an episode set anywhere and any when.

Day of the Doctor uses a couple of those time tricks, it was also a special that celebrated the 50^th Anniversary of Doctor Who, so it’s worth taking a look.

#15 Doctor Who: The Wedding of River Song

Happy 2015 everyone, I know it’s been 3 months, but we’re back and to be honest, after raging about the Last Airbender for 6000 words, I was glad of the break. Let’s see what we’ve got for the return…

Oh boy… 2015 is not starting well.

For those of you who have read my previous Doctor Who reviews know I have a sort of love/hate relationship with the show. There are episodes I love, and those I hate, like Robots of Sherwood and this episode.
