Series 12 Directed by Lee Haven Jones Written by Ed Hime Depending on where you looked, last week’s episode was either a bold step forward for the franchise or some major misguided steps to relive the past.  I was very … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S12EP3 “Orphan 55”

Series 12 Directed by Lee Haven Jones Written by Chris Chibnall Last Wednesday’s episode started the series off messily, but I will give the show credit for trying to go big.  For better or worse, the episode was a deliberate … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S12EP2 “Spyfall, Part 2”

Series 12 Directed by Jamie Magnus Stone Written by Chris Chibnall Welcome back to another season of Doctor Who.  Last we checked in was a year ago with the New Year’s special, “Resolution”.  It was the wrap up to a … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S12EP1 “Spyfall, Part 1”

Series 11 Directed by Wayne Yip Written by Chris Chibnall Welcome back to a very special episode of Thirteenth Doctor.  We didn’t get a Christmas special this year, a move I can’t say I bemoaned, and instead we got a … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11 “Resolution”

Series 11 Directed by Jamie Childs Written by Chris Chibnall Aside from the New Year’s special (which have never historically been considered a part of the season from an official or thematic standpoint), this episode brings to a conclusion of … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E10 “The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos”

Series 11 Directed by Jamie Childs Written by Ed Hime The consensus for last week’s episode tended towards fine to enjoyable with the now expected added proviso that show sort of fumbled the end.  I, on the other hand, was … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E09 “It Takes You Away”

Series 11 Directed by Sallie Aprahamian Written by Joy Wilkinson We still can’t stick the landing all that great, but all in all, the episodes have been rather enjoyable the past few weeks and this season as a whole.  We … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E08 “The Witchfinders”

Series 11 Directed by Jennifer Perrott Written by Pete McTighe Fresh off one of the strongest episodes of the season as well, it’s up to the show to continue that as it returns to a more traditional sci-fi storyline.  That … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E07 “Kerblam!”

Series 11 Directed by Jamie Childs Written by Vinay Patel We’ve settled into a nice, solid groove this season with the last episode being no exception.  If there’s anything that will threaten to break free from that groove, it is located right … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E06 “Demons of the Punjab”

Series 11 Directed by Jennifer Perrott Written by Chris Chibnall It only took 40% of the season for us to get here, but we finally have our Team TARDIS as an official unit after the events of “Arachnids in the … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E05 “The Tsuranga Conundrum”

Series 11 Directed by Sallie Aprahamian Written by Chris Chibnall Those of you who were unimpressed with the heavy handed “Rosa” (although I question how many people watching Doctor Who aren’t used to that by this point) will likely be … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E04 “Arachnids in the UK”

Series 11 Directed by Mark Tonderai Written by Malorie Blackman and Chris Chibnall Last episode was a bit of a come down from the premiere, but now we finally have the (newly redesigned) TARDIS back.  Granted it’s not likely one that … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E03 “Rosa”

Series 11 Directed by Mark Tonderai Written by Chris Chibnall After a thankfully solid first episode last week, we return to the second episode of the Thirteenth Doctor’s run.  We last left off with The Doctor and her presumably three new … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E02 “The Ghost Monument”

Series 11 Directed by Jamie Childs Written by Chris Chibnall Welcome back to another season of the modern era of Doctor Who.  I will be starting up weekly reviews here, but ever since this site started, I’ve been doing reviews of … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11E01 “The Woman Who Fell to Earth”

Grade: A- So, this was a great episode. Much less sad than I expected, which is a very good thing- it hit the right boundaries between regeneration emotion and Christmas-special fun. A lot of the callbacks, from Rusty the Dalek … Continue reading Doctor Who Christmas Special Livechat and Review
