WARNING: SPOILER ALERT FOR DOCTOR WHO SERIES 12 FINALE EPISODE. I know I said I was done with Who but I promise this isn't just another reason to rag on the series 12 finale and why The Timeless Children is undoubtedly the most insulting episode to anyone that cares about Doctor Who and its history. The… Continue reading Why Canon Matters
****Warning: The following contains spoilers for Jodie Whittaker's run of Doctor Who. Reader discretion is advised**** A couple of years ago, I wrote a series of posts where I pontificated on the possibility of a female Doctor and, while I understood the backlash surrounding the character's gender swap, I considered it the show's only possible… Continue reading Doctor Who The Hell Cares Anymore

You would think that it would bog down the plot,… Continue reading “The Infinity Doctors” a Doctor Who Novel Review
After the dreaded Hell Bent, I considered myself done with Doctor Who. I still watch reruns, read books featuring past Doctors, and listen to Big Finish audiodramas. But that thirst to see more? That urgency to find out what is in store for one of the best characters in science fiction? That is gone. Hell… Continue reading Doctor Who Christmas Special: I’m Cautiously Optimistic
