Doctor Who Serial 146 – Delta and the Bannermen

It’s 2021, and I’m still doing this stupid thing… but let’s GOOOOO! DELTA! AND! THE BANNERMEN! Part One Why is Mel excited by heading to the 1950s Disney? They have a time machine. They look like giant poop emojis. Was that Jimmy Carr? This holiday camp must be what The Who were singing about in Tommy. “Got a feeling ’21 is gonna be a good year.” That Welsh accent is making me think of Torchwood. Doesn’t hurt that last night I watched the New Year special with Jack in it. I don’t think Doctor Who knows what rock and roll is. Sara Griffiths, who plays Ray, does an absolutely terrible… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 146 – Delta and the Bannermen

Doctor Who Serial 145 – Paradise Towers

Part One Wow, the late ’80s vibes are strong with this one. So Mel wants a swimming pool, is that why the Doctor would eventually put one in the library? Oh, there was a swimming pool that the Doctor jettisoned. So he “builds” a new one. Mel’s outfit is great. She really needs to do something about her eye makeup though. It looks like she has no eyes, just two holes of blackness. Also, in regards to the Kangs, I personally voted for Kodos. Part Two Who’s the Great Architect? Is it Sarah Lynn? I feel like I’m in the final stretch now that I’m on season 24 and Sylvester… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 145 – Paradise Towers

Doctor Who Serial 144 – Time and the Rani

Part One Oh my god! I thought the effects on Doctor Who were bad in the past! It’s so much worse now! With the exception of Sylvester McCoy’s face over the opening credits (they really need to stop doing that, but they will in three seasons), and except for the horrible, horrible, horrible graphics, this could be the best opening credits for Doctor Who. Part four is going to air the same day as “Encounter at Farpoint,” the pilot to Star Trek: The Next Generation. One still looks amazing today, the other looks like a 12 year old made the credits. There’s a chicken lady. Part Two The Rani has… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 144 – Time and the Rani

Doctor Who Serial 143 – The Trial of a Time Lord

Part One – The Mysterious Planet Part One That new theme song and opening credits are a perfect example of all the wrong choices. Time Lord costumes are amazing. I love how her hat is a Time Lord collar in hat form. The Doctor does meddle, so I can’t blame them for trying him for that. The Doctor should know that he should have a defence attorney. Oh! Stuff is recorded in “the Matrix.” Well, so far this season, he’s less of an asshole. So far he’s kinda reminding me of what very little I know of Sylvester McCoy. Maybe a splash of William Hartnell. The stripy sideburns are definitely… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 143 – The Trial of a Time Lord

Doctor Who Serial 142 – Revelation of the Daleks

Part One Snow? They’re in the UK! Also, that’s so very little snow. “This thing I’m wearing is too tight.” “You eat too much.” OH FUCK YOU, DOCTOR! NO! NOT COOL! Peri should punch that fucker right in the face. Zombies! Also, the cape looks terrible on the Doctor. Is that lady wearing a kippa? There’s a red-headed British actor in this, and I don’t think he played a Weasley. She says “Davros” as “Davrish.” I like it. Part Two Weasley is creepy as fuck. Wow, the Doctor is sending Peri to hang out with the creep of all creeps and completely knowing how much of a creep. 45 minutes… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 142 – Revelation of the Daleks

Doctor Who Serial 141 – Timelash

Part One This doesn’t look like 12th century Earth. Nice to know the Doctor appreciates a good safety belt. “I am the Borat! And I do not tolerate disloyalty.” Very nice! No 12th century Earth for the Doctor. Does this sound like I predicted this? If you’re ever being attacked by a beekeeper, be sure to place a potted plant into his hands. He’ll scream and fall down. Part Two Today I learned that if you show an android its reflection, it breaks. This is trippy as shit in the Time Lash. The Doctor murdered Borat.

Doctor Who Serial 140 – The Two Doctors

Part One Yay! Jamie and the Doctor!!!!! I’m so excited. I love Patrick Troughton as the Doctor so much. I love the bickering between the Doctor and Jamie. But Jamie only knows of the Time Lords, if this is after they wiped his memory. The chef’s dressed to look like a Scottish pantomime. “Who are you smiling at, you hairy legged highlander?” The Doctor can be such an asshole to his companions. The difference is the second Doctor very obviously loves Jamie and it’s in jest. I thought it was just Americans who say “walla” when they mean voilà. Apparently British people in the ’80s, too. There’s been way too… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 140 – The Two Doctors

Doctor Who Serial 139 – The Mark of The Rani

Part One Okay, this is just turning into a fashion blog. Maybe I’ll start writing about the Great British Sewing Bee (just finished season 5). What the hell is Peri wearing? That white skirt is a really bad idea. And those shoulder? Yuck! At least Doctor Who is talking about environmental protections, but 40 years later, and we did nothing. Don’t you hate when your horse-drawn wagon gets carjacked? *gasp* It’s the Master. HAHA! I love when Time Lords/Ladies peel off a face. The Master totes has a boner for the Rani. Oh, Master, yes, “claptrap” is a great use of language, I approve. Is this the end for our… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 139 – The Mark of The Rani

Doctor Who Serial 138 – Vengeance on Varos

Part One Hey dude, I understand. I too hate when beams of light are shone on my stomach. The creature design in Doctor Who is so bad. This is something that Doctor Who still has a problem with. Also, this reminds me of the Star Wars prequels, all they talk about is trade. Wait. Peri is wearing the exact same outfit as the last story, except in blue, and this time properly fitting. So many dividends. Now I wish Vincent Adultman was in this episode of Doctor Who. Except those shorts. They do not fit. If they wanted to show off Peri’s body, they should have fitted those shorts a… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 138 – Vengeance on Varos

Doctor Who Serial 137 – Attack of the Cybermen

Part One Hello, season 22! Never split up when you’re in the wrong tunnel. That pink romper doesn’t fit on Peri very well, for one, her left boob is squished, secondly, it looks like it’s hunching her over. Oh, it’s a heist episode. The roundels look like they could use a fresh coat of paint. The head of this heist must know that being this much of an asshole will get these guys to rat on you if you get caught, right? Oh, it’s not a romper, it’s a unitard with a pair of shorts? Jamie could be a woman’s name, why is she so confused. Also, I miss Jamie.… Read More »Doctor Who Serial 137 – Attack of the Cybermen
