| Eric Roberts on Dr Phil |
[Mar. 30th, 2012|12:52 am] |
The Master was on Dr Phil today (well, Thursday March 29). Apparently he's trying to make a comeback after an addiction to drugs, wearing black, and maniacal laughing.

Not a fan of Dr Phil so I didn't watch long enough to see if he'd regenerate. |

...is it just me or has nobody mentioned the earth-shattering news that two lost episodes of Classic Who have been rediscovered?
Namely THE UNDERWATER MENACE episode 2 (which now becomes the earliest known surviving Second Doctor episode) and GALAXY 4 episode 3 (Chumblies! yay!) |

In updating my podcasts this morning, I found that WhoFurs episode 15 has been released. This show covers the last two episodes of the first half of season 5, as well as a discussion of the entire first half of the season. |

| Season 6 Opener (Squee!) |
[Apr. 23rd, 2011|05:23 pm] |
I'll refrain from spoilers, since the show won't hit BBC America for another few hours, but I really look forward to people's thoughts then. A few general comments, in the meantime:
Steven sure knows how to start things off with a bang! The first 15 minutes are pure awesome.
Lots of A-story promises in this episode. Normally, I'm not the biggest fan of Doctor Who A-stories, because they tend to involve a lot of "[TECH]" bits or big special effects moments without driving the story or characters much. Series 5 was a bit better in that regard (thank-you, Steven!), but it was still the quality of the episodic stories that drew me in the most. This episode did a much better job of setting up (developing?) A-story threads that seem like they'll create memorable story moments down the road.
I'm pleased with the dedication to Elizabeth Sladen at the start. It was the right thing to do, and they didn't have long to make the decision to add it. Would have been nicer to add Nicholas Courtney as well, but I can see why they did it that way.
As always, I'm fit to burst at the start of a new Doctor Who season, and this opener did not disappoint. I'm all wound up to see how the season plays out! |

Spoilers, obviously. But this is so cool. I got chills.
Oh and once you've watched it, pause it at 36/37 second in for a total OMG WTF moment!
Y'know you'd think after being a fan for over 30 years new seasons of this show would seem mundane to me, but damn if Doctor Who isn't still the most exciting thing on TV today.
I love this show. :-D |

As those who are in the UK may know, tonight is the Comic Relief telethon on BBC1. As part of the evening's events, there were two short mini-episodes of Doctor Who penned by series show-runner Steven Moffat (aka, The Vast Toffee MN)
Beyond the cut you will find the YouTube videos of these shorts.

| Brigadier Retired |
[Feb. 24th, 2011|12:18 am] |
For those who hadn't heard, Nicholas Courtney, aka The Brigadier, has passed on. No work yet on the cause, but it was likely cancer.
It just wouldn't be UNIT without him. |
