Mini Review: Doctor Who - Twice Upon a Time

So, it’s that time of year again, it’s been about a month since the Doctor Who special graced our screens and my review of it was inevitable. What might surprise you is this being a mini review and I do have a reason beyond being lazy, although that might factor in a bit.

But this is a very special Christmas special, not only have we got a crossover with the first doctor, not only is it Capaldi’s regeneration story, but it’s also a goodbye to Stephen Moffat as he bows out of Doctor Who. Does this hold up to those very high standards? Here are my thoughts

Doctor Who Series 10 Finale review - The Doctor Falls

Doctor Who Series 10 Episode 1 review - The Pilot

Doctor who has finally made its return to our screens, it’s been a few years, and a few reviews since his last but he’s back, he’s rested and now it’s #TimeForHeroes *sigh* anyway, let’s take a look at the first episode of the series

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.

#42 - Doctor Who - Hell Bent

It’s January and it’s time to correct a mistake with a review of Doctor Who’s series 9 finale, Hell Bent. Heaven Sent was a magnificent episode, featuring one of Capaldi’s greatest performances to date and was by the far the best episode of the series. What followed it was… it was bad, very bad and I was mistaken when I initially proclaimed it to be OK. Why have I changed my mind? Let’s take a look.

#32 Doctor Who - Kill the Moon

Thought this was going to be a 4 issue test of Doctor Strange? Well unfortunately #4 arrived later than I'd anticipated and I didn't know if I'd get it done in time. This one has been ready to go for a while, so dive into my re-review of Doctor Who - Kill the Moon

It’s January, so it’s time to look at 2 Doctor Who episodes. The first might be familiar to long term fans of this blog because I reviewed it a year ago. The review consisted of me mostly laughing at a particular plot point which we’ll get to

So why this episode? Well, I’ve given the episode time to stir in my mind a bit, I’ve read and seen other reviews of the episode and there’s a hell of a lot more wrong with it than just the bullsh*t I was laughing at in my original review.

So, how much worse is it than I remember? It’s bad, really, really bad. Let’s take a look
