By Jeff, on April 26th, 2011 Unlike the companions in this episode, I will not be trying to prevent spoilers. I’m gonna lay it all out there, so if you haven’t seen the episode, don’t read this.
But first, a word about the BBC America version of the show.
Bleh.
I hated the new voice-over opening. For those who have seen only the UK version, it’s a quick addition just before the opening theme. Amy narrates how she and her “imaginary . . . → Read More: Review: Doctor Who: The Impossible Astronaut
By Jeff, on March 31st, 2011 The full trailer for Doctor Who’s sixth season is out. Watch it:
This bit did it for me:
Off-screen, scary sounding alien: Fear me. I’ve killed hundreds of Time Lords.
The Doctor (not impressed): Fear me. I’ve killed them all.
Game; set; match. I’m in. Everything else is gravy. And there’s some marvelous gravy…
River: “This is the day he finds out who I am.” Presumably in the episode entitled “The Doctor’s Wife” written . . . → Read More: Two lines, and I’m sold
By Jeff, on March 27th, 2011 … and then nothing but disappointment. That pretty much describes this podcast. Really there is some interesting stuff discussed somewhere in there, but to get to it, you have to listen to me talking. Sorry about that, but it is the way of things.
On the upside, you do get to hear my wife talking about this stuff as well, so you got that going for you. Which is nice.
Of course throughout the entire . . . → Read More: Grand opening…
By Jeff, on March 24th, 2011 We’re heading back toward another season of Doctor Who! Matt Smith will reprise his role as The Doctor starting on Easter weekend (April 23rd). Also returning are companions (and newlyweds) Rory and Amy. And of course, River Song will show up at some point as well.
I talked about how excited I was about this season in my review of last season, so instead of repeating myself I’ll just say… “can’t wait!”
Here’s the incredibly . . . → Read More: Doctor, Doctor, gimme the news…
By Jeff, on November 18th, 2010 Craig Ferguson’s Late Late show did a Doctor Who themed episode on Tuesday night.
Craig cracks me up. And he’s a true Doctor Who fan, too.
Here’s the “Cold Opening” and monologue:
The Doctor Who themed Twitter and Email segment:
And finally the interview with the newest Doctor, Matt Smith.
And the closing segment:
Craig is weird enough that there may not ever have been a dance number… but I kind . . . → Read More: Ferguson’s Doctor Who show
By Jeff, on September 8th, 2010 This post is going to be like throwing spaghetti on the wall: I’m just gonna toss a lot of stuff up here and see what sticks. It worked for Oscar Madison (okay, that was linguini – work with me).
Movie prices
According to Slice-of-Sci-Fi…
The weekend closed out the books for the summer season and while ticket sales were up to $4.35 billion, the highest total ever for a summer season, overall attendance was down. Attendance this . . . → Read More: Throwing spaghetti on the wall
By Jeff, on July 3rd, 2010 First, two rumors I hope are false…
This first one I’m pretty positive is false, but here it is: apparently some bookies in the UK are looking for something to bet on (World Cup and Wimbledon not enough for them?), so they’re saying that since the current season of Doctor Who didn’t pull in the same level of ratings as David Tennant’s seasons, the BBC is considering replacing Matt Smith. They’ve provided a list of . . . → Read More: Doctor Who rumors
By Jeff, on June 27th, 2010 New season, new Doctor, new show runner, new companions… lots of change this year. How’d it turn out? (as with the reviews of previous years, I’m going to try to keep this spoiler free)
First, a bit of history… 2009 saw the end of David Tennant’s incredibly popular run as the Doctor with a series of specials rather than a true season. Russell T Davies, the man who brought the show back in 2005, left . . . → Read More: Review: Doctor Who 2010
By Jeff, on March 25th, 2010 I’m not even exaggerating. This blows my mind. There are certainly cakes that are unbelievably beautiful (and this is not one of them), but the level of detail on this cake, and the obvious love put into it, is staggering!
That it has a sci-fi theme is just, well… icing on the cake.
There's really too much to take in here

By Jeff, on July 21st, 2009 On the heels of the success of Torchwood: Children of Earth, the following clip has been released for the next Doctor Who special:
The companion here is Adelaide, played by Lindsay Duncan. The notes on her is that she is the very strong-minded head of Mars Base, and is not too happy about the Doctor’s interference.
This special is set to air in November. My guess would be around Thanksgiving, but as that’s not . . . → Read More: The Doctor is all wet… on Mars – Tuesday TubeWatch
