Two-minute Time Lord

A belated look at Maisie Williams’s second turn of the season, featuring gratuitous Rufus Hound Fu.

For a change, I’m not reserving judgment on a story until its conclusion airs. I’m praising a story because it’s not finished yet.

I really enjoyed “Before the Flood”–except for one thing that seems to be coming dangerously close to a trend in Doctor Who. And in this episode, as the Radio Times revealed, it was no accident.

Far beyond wishing everyone at home a Merry Christmas, Toby Whithouse’s “Before the Flood” opens with the show’s most Fourth Wall-breaking moment yet, revealing once again how subversive the Moffat Era really is.

Archetype, trope or formula? As we return to the “base under siege” style of Doctor Who storytelling, does writer Toby Whithouse do something fresh with it? And is it time for a serious talk about Clara?

The universes are collapsing: Reality Bomb has invaded 2MTL to explore just what happened when the BBC made its much-hyped-on-social-media announcement about the new Doctor Who spinoff, Class. Written by Graeme Burk; performed by Graeme Burk, Chip Sudderth, Bill Evenson and Kim Rogers; lovingly balanced and tweaked by Alex Kennard.

Why do fans who don’t like what’s happening in Doctor Who keep watching?

An acting tour de force for three of our four lead actors, but I don’t know what to make of the Poo Daleks…

Our Series 9 reviews begin with a confession, a pre-credits turnaround, a comparison to “The End of Time” (That’ll enrage my friends at Radio Free Skaro!), and a bit of bet-hedging!

The Titan Comics summer Doctor Who event, Four Doctors, is not only a rousing adventure tale, but also an insightful look at what happens when the Doctor is forced to face…himself.
