‘Journey’s End’ Review and Therapy Session

July 5th, 2008 | | Posted in british, british tv, doctor who

Suffice it to say that if you want to remain at all unspoiled about anything Doctor Who, ever, don’t go near this. Please come back in 2-4 weeks if you’re waiting for Sci-Fi. I don’t know how you do it.

Also, a bit of strong language and defiling of the Lord’s name. Forgive me.

Thoughts About Davros, Daleks and All Things Donna

July 3rd, 2008 | | Posted in doctor who

I’m almost a week behind on Who because last week I was out of commission for most of the week. I still plan to write about “Turn Left”, but probably more as a look at the character of Donna in general. But tonight I’m finally sitting down, steeling myself for misery and watching last Saturday’s UK ep.

I’m being very kind and putting a TON of spoilers behind a cut-tag. A lot of random thoughts about “The Stolen Earth”, blatant speculation about Saturday’s finale, and pretty much the entire two series of Torchwood. Oh, and all the other shows that John Barrowman and Billie Piper are in. You lot had better be watching “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” on Showtime, right? However, I’m not as kind as you might think I would be towards Rose in the following missive. So if that offends, *shrugs*.

Doctor Who Choons

May 14th, 2008 | | Posted in british, british tv, doctor who, television

I’ve been loving the fourth series of “Doctor Who” a lot more than some have. But I really, really like the way that the Doctor and Donna are racing around planets and foiled multiple plots for earth’s domination without a lot of drama or arguing or any of the relationship crap that’s bogged the doctor down in the past.

So in honor of such, I have made a Doctor/Donna Muxtape called “Hooooyeeessssss!” (mainly in honor of Joe and his unending enjoyment of finding a scene where Tennant gets really excited about something.) Most of the songs came from this season’s “Doctor Who Confidential” song list, where they were featured in segments about the two (Hard-Fi’s “(Can’t Get Along) Without You” was perfect in a segment showing scenes where they seem to keep saving each other.

Others popped in our heads because they’re inspirational. Sting’s “If I Ever Lose My Faith” came from a similar playlist I did for Mulder and Scully during their fourth season, around the time of the bee-kiss in the movie. That was back in the days where the thought of romance was not even there, but they were still closer than their families. The Doctor and Donna are in the same boat.

Oh, BTW, this whole deal about the BBC forcing fan patterns for knitted Ood and Adipose is just ridiculous. BBC, I know you’re concered about your copyright, but unless you’re going to put your pattern book last week I doubt these small character patterns will hurt your profits. But what does hurt your profits are angry fans. And if the rumors are true and you’re going to start cracking down on things sold at cons, you are cutting your own throat.
