I don’t think I’ve seen this episode more than once. I hated it as a kid. Oh, it’s Scott from Scott & Bailey. Doctor, you held up that cup way too high for that much shorter woman to toast you with. This is so bad. Yikes. According to Wikipedia, “Russell T Davies has stated that the episode was inspired by the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode ‘Darmok’.” Dude, you failed.
Silence in the Library Woo! It’s time for Amy’s daughter… yeah, I spoiled that for you, you’re gonna just have to deal with that. I forgot about the little kid and her therapist. Ahh, the start of “spoilers,” something I never loved. Oh yeah, River sent the Doctor a message. River Song’s first line is “Hello sweetie.” “Oh, I’m pretty boy?” This concept of two loves who time travel and one has never met the other before is heart-wrenching. I would have loved if there were more episodes with River and David Tennant. Donna’s howls of pains are horrible. The ghosting is creepy, but not as creepy as Donna makes… Read More »Doctor Who Story 195 – Silence in the Library & Forest of the Dead
Ahh, the 1920s, everyone partying because they just went through a terrible war and pandemic. Here’s hoping the 2020s become fun, too. The Doctor and Donna should not have been the first ones to show up if they’re going to sneak in. Professor Peach is in the library. This is a ridiculous episode. Charades with Donna is fantastic.
That hand’s gonna be a plot point. Don’t call your husband “dad.” Even when your dad is the Doctor and your husband is the Doctor. Martha’s become badass. Oh, the cliché backflipping through the lasers. And now quicksand? I wonder if anyone will ever bring back Jenny.
The Sontaran Stratagem Were people really this scared of GPS? Martha! Hopefully this isn’t as bad as her Torchwood episodes. They’re doing a very old-school Doctor Who trope. Showing just a hand or the back of a head staring at a screen. Sontarans are ridiculous. Okay, this is the fourth episode of the season, and they’re already doing flashbacks? This is a very kids’ show episode. It’s like original Star Trek with the computers who are defeated with logic. The teenage “genius” looks like that guy. Cliffhanger! The Poison Sky Thank you, Donna’s mom! That was an easy solution. Though that is not how windshields break, ad it would probably… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 192 – The Sontaran Stratagem & The Poison Sky
Ood revolt! This is a bad episode. They’re trying very hard to make a point, and they make it, I feel for the Ood, but it’s still a terrible episode.
Ancient Rome… not the first time the Doctor’s been there. I like that they just addressed that. I also like that Amy Pond is watching the Doctor and wondering why he isn’t Matt Smith. Or at least that’s what I assume she’s thinking about. They’re missing a couple of names from the opening credits. Karen Gillan and Peter Capaldi. I am so looking forward to Amy’s time on Doctor Who, it might be my favourite. Yay! There’s Capaldi! I wonder if he’s actually the Doctor, and spent some time in Pompeii for fun and was looking forward to his arrival and wanted to buy is old TARDIS. Good job Donna,… Read More »Doctor Who Story 190 – The Fires of Pompeii
Donna, don’t use your real name. Look at the Doctor, he’s using John Smith. Who on earth would be dumb enough to print an entire customer database without your boss’s approval. Now as for sales calls, why are they? They’re selling a miracle diet pill. It will sell like crazy, and just sell it online. Also, why is it so small? that was like four sheets of paper, and Donna took both hers and the Doctors, so their client list fits on two sheets of A4. How does Adipose Industries have authorization for to have a siren on their vehicle? The Adipose are adorable. You can tell that drivers in… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 189 – Partners in Crime
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang I’ve gotta say, the old lady saying “Bloody Torchwood,” might be my favourite part of the series. SPIKE! He breezed into that bar. Gwen needs to tell Jack that he needs to be honest with her if she’s ever going to trust him again. Oh fuck you, Jack! Stop telling people that your history doesn’t matter. The stupid western vibe is ridiculous, but I enjoy it. Glad Doctor Who has some good make-outs, thanks to Torchwood. Oh, Ianto is having none of Jack’s bullshit. Maybe not, he did accept his date. Aww, he killed Jack. :( Is it good to throw a bomb into the rift?… Read More »Doctor Who Story xx – Torchwood series 2
Time Crash So this is a Children In Need special that bridges Martha leaving the TARDIS and the TARDIS crashing into the Titanic. It’s a fun one, so I’m quite excited. I like when the Doctor talks to the TARDIS. TEE HEE! It’s PETER DAVISON, aka, the Doctor’s father in law. It’s really weird the Doctor married his own daughter. The soundtrack is great. Hahaha, the Doctor thinking the Doctor is a fan is fun, and mentioning LINDA. “No, no beard this time, but a wife.” “I was always trying to be old and grumpy and important, like you do when you’re young.” This is such a good eight minutes… Read More »Doctor Who Story 188 – Voyage of the Damned
