Doctor Who Story 232 – The Bells of Saint John

Prequel Nothing sadder than a grown up swaying on a swing alone. *gasp* she’s Clara. The Bells of Saint John Wifi is evil. Wait until they find out about 5G. This episode seems to be missing the charm of Doctor Who. How did the TARDIS door close? What a terrible, boring and quick resolution.

Doctor Who Story 231 – The Snowmen

The Great Detective More voiceover? Aww, grumpy Doctor. Vastra Investigates Lesbians! I’m saying this like James did in high school the day after the episode of Deep Space Nine aired when Jadzia’s ex shows up and they kiss. The Snowmen Whoever said, “let’s put a mouth with teeth on that snowflake” was high as hell. New opening, and they put Matt Smith’s face into the time vortex. So many bad decisions. Also, why did Clara run after the Doctor. They had the most boring interaction. There was nothing there to entice a woman. Also, why is the Doctor just hanging out in Victorian London? That spiral staircase is rather rickety.… Read More »Doctor Who Story 231 – The Snowmen

Doctor Who Story 230 – The Angels Take Manhattan

More voiceovers. They keep on saying Amy and Rory are older, but they don’t show it. They look exactly the same. Is that the guy from Whose Line Is It Anyway and Office Space? Yes, yes it is. Mike McShane. I hate everything about this episode. I miss Amy and Rory.

Doctor Who Story 229 – The Power of Three

So many voiceovers in Doctor Who. Too many voiceovers in Doctor Who. This terrible voiceover sounds like the intro to a “quirky” sitcom. Chris Chibnall, you can do better. Oh god! new clips… NOOOOOOOO! I thought we were done with that now that we’re done with Russell T. Davies. And now Amy is a writer? Where did that come from? Kate Stewart being head of UNIT is good. Flickr! Remember Flickr? Brian is always good. Brian asks how he long Amy and Rory were travelling during their party. He then asks what happens to other companions. The Doctor informs him that some, very few, but some die. The Doctor also… Read More »Doctor Who Story 229 – The Power of Three

Doctor Who Story 228 – A Town Called Mercy

Oh god, it starts with a terrible voiceover with a terrible American accent. So here’s a problem with the Doctor bringing his friends in once in a while, he is only calling on them when the stakes are high. So why did he bring in Amy and Rory to this episode? There’s no stakes, yet they just so happen to be with him. It makes no sense, and it also doesn’t help that this episode sucks. This is much better of a plot than I remembered. If it wasn’t a bad western, it might have been a decent episode. Also, I’m annoyed at the whole Amy and Rory not travelling… Read More »Doctor Who Story 228 – A Town Called Mercy

Doctor Who Story 227 – Dinosaurs on a Spaceship

I really don’t like this whole Doctor travelling on his own, and having buddies that he calls on. I forgot I like Brian. I haven’t seen the Jumanji movies, but I feel that this should have Jack Black in it. Yup, I love Brian. They should tie these pterodactyls to Torchwood. I forgot Mitchell and Webb are in this. I wanna ride a triceratops. Brian staring down at Earth while siting out the door of the TARDIS is what I want.

Doctor Who Story 226 – Asylum of the Daleks

I feel like Moffat just throws ideas at the Doctor Who wall and thinks “that’s a good enough explanation. Like why is Amy suddenly a model? Why is Amy separated from Rory? Why is Rory suddenly an asshole? Oh yeah, you’re never going to explain that. Why are they playing Wizard of Oz music? Why is Clara so bad at making soufflés? It’s not that hard. I hate that they’re wasting the first episode on Clara. I want more Amy and Rory, and they’re about to leave the show. So they didn’t talk for years? That’s why they split up? What fucking stupidity. Also, adoption is a thing. Also, you… Read More »Doctor Who Story 226 – Asylum of the Daleks

Doctor Who Story 225 – The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe

Prequel That just made me sad that Amy wasn’t there. The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe I don’t remember anything at all about this Christmas special. Is the Doctor just hanging out in the the vacuum of space? Wow this is more ridiculous than Doctor Who normally is. How can the Doctor fall from space and be fine, but yet, he falls off a small tower and regenerates into Peter Davison. I remember absolutely none of this. Now I remember this, and now I want the Doctor as my caretaker. Why aren’t Amy and Rory in this? Oh, it’s Bill Bailey. This episode is so bad. Oh my god,… Read More »Doctor Who Story 225 – The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe

Doctor Who Story 224 – The Wedding of River Song

Death Is The Only Answer This is terrible, but it was written by children, so that makes sense. Prequel Oh god, the stupid nursery rhyme. The Wedding of River Song I want a balloon attached to my car. Moffat’s trying to be clever and over-complicated, and while this makes some sense, it’s put together so poorly. Aww, the Brigadier passed away. I don’t care about this alternative timeline. Why are they focusing so much on this? This is really why Moffat is bad. Why are they getting married? This isn’t necessary to get out of their predicament. Also, why is he going through all of this, he had a plan,… Read More »Doctor Who Story 224 – The Wedding of River Song

Doctor Who Story 223 – Closing Time

I watched this one late last night when I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t bring my laptop, so I didn’t write notes. So the obvious thing to do is to compare “Closing Time” with “The Lodger.” What’s the Lodger? It was the other episode with James Corden. Both episodes had a mediocre story. Both episodes are Amy/Rory-light episodes. Both episodes are silly. The problem though is that while “The Lodger” has a rough idea of a story, it doesn’t focus on it, the episode is really about the relationship between Craig (James Corden) and the Doctor (Matt Smith, do I need to write that?). “Closing Time” is very plot focused, plus… Read More »Doctor Who Story 223 – Closing Time
