One thing I really liked about this episode was Bill’s ability to take responsibility for her actions. Even though she had no idea precisely what would happen if the Monks took charge, she took responsibility for having been what brought…
Doctor Who: The Pyramid at the End of the World
Doctor Who is just knocking them out of the ball park this year. This trilogy is shaping up to be of a similar quality to the one from 2015 in that it’s been excellent and that it has been a…
Doctor Who: Extremis
This series is shaping up to be one of the most outstanding of the revived series of Doctor Who. This was Moffat at his mind bending best. There is definitely an A.I. theme shaping up with the emoji bots of Smile and the…
Doctor Who: Oxygen
This was a particularly intense episode of Doctor Who. I do need to watch it again as I was admittedly a little bit distracted as we have both my parents and Chris’s parents all here at the same time, so…
Doctor Who: Knock Knock
This week’s episode was written by a first timer to Doctor Who, Mike Bartlett. It wasn’t a bad first try, but I was less impressed by this one than the first three episodes this year. The big reveal that the old…
Doctor Who: Thin Ice
Series 10 is still coming along beautifully. I did slightly prefer last week’s Smile to this week’s Thin Ice, but it was still highly enjoyable. I am not normally as big a fan of the back in time in the fairly…
Doctor Who: Smile
Week two of series 10 was very satisfying. Frank Cottrell Boyce did a much better job this time than he did on his previous attempt at Doctor Who, In the Forest of the Night. Fortunately, this story hung together much, much…
Doctor Who: The Pilot
As regular readers will know, Chris and I are both big Doctor Who fans. Last year, we did a full rewatch of the new series and I reviewed them all. I’ll be reviewing this year’s as they come out. Steven…
The TARDIS and the 3 Kinds of Hobbies
Recently, I felt like I was lacking in hobbies that didn’t involve reading or writing, so if I felt too tired to read, I didn’t have a lot to do. Chris and I talked about this and I believe we…
Christmas Day
The weather Christmas Day was cold by Arizona standards, but fairly clear. We did the British version of Christmas this time, doing what Americans would very much think of as Thanksgiving food: turkey, stuffing, potatoes (roasted and mashed), parsnips, carrots, green…
