NuWho (OK, getting real tired of that name) update
Just a brief note to say I’ve been catching up with the new season of Who in between doing laundry. So far I’ve watched Time of Angels/Flesh And Stone and Vampires In Venice. Mostly thumbs up for everything so far; will review later. I will say, though, this: I like more and more Matt Smith’s take on the Doctor. I don’t know how someone who grew up without the show managed...

Ersatz Disco Sucks Even More Than Real Disco
I’ve decided my previous post came off a little cranky. The video was cute, I just have trouble with voiceovers and that annoying fake-action disco music that they put on everything now. The weirdest use of this ersatz disco sound (I can’t describe it better than that; it sounds sort of like the incidental music they used to use in American crime drama series from the 70s when nothing...

Two Moar Whoblogs
I started following a couple more Whoblogs just so I could get this really disturbing photo off my dashboard. I think it’s that guy who played Son Of Mine on Human Nature/Family of Blood. He looks like one of those creepy sex dolls in the linked photo. That’s something I never wanted to think about in regards to this particular actor (or, well, any actor) so thanks, Tumblr people I...

Doctor Who and the Mouthbreathing Shippers →

tybe:
Awesome look at the dynamics between the Doctor and his companions — especially instructive for us Nu-Whovians.
I suggest that you read this. It’s a very nice look at the Doctor’s instinctive choice of companions.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks that (the replacement granddaughter theory). I’ll add that it does explain Ten’s discomfort with...

Matthew Graham's thoughts on Torchwood: Children...
whoniverse:
Have you caught up on Torchwood: Children Of Earth by any chance? I have, I finally watched it. I was away in America when it was on, but I’ve watched it now.
Obviously, there was an episode of that which attracted quite a fallout, where a major character is killed at the end of an episode. It got very personal against the writers, the fan feedback from that. Where do you...

Reviewing NuWho Continued
I said a while back I was going to review the “NuWho” episodes starting with the 9th Doctor episode “Rose,” and I reviewed “Rose,” and then I sort of forgot about it. Well, I was busy! Doing what? you didn’t ask. Let’s see… collecting all the twist-ties in the house and sorting them by color, counting all the grains in a bucket of beach sand,...

– (Source.)
Okay. That there is just about the polar opposite of how I think about Doctor Who. The show isn’t supposed to be a soap opera, where the point is to make you cry and get you romantically interested in the lead, but that’s what I’m afraid it turned into under the hand of...

Obviously I haven't had enough coffee
This person left me a message and instead of replying to it I deleted it. Oops. Anyway, thanks for the compliment! I have a lot more Doctor Who stuff I need to post, but I’ve been preoccupied with looking for Doctor/Master pr0n jobs and stuff. I will get to it, pinky swear.

Terry Pratchett on how Doctor Who is not sci-fi
whoniverse:
I wish I could hate Doctor Who.
I was there at the beginning, chums, the very beginning, when the world was monochrome, and pretty grainy monochrome at that. I remember arguing at school about the tune, particularly how long you should go bumdy bum bumdy bum bumdy bum bumdy bum before you got on to the woooooooeeeeeee bumdidy bum bit.
