Admittedly I'm going with what we got from the Children in Need minisode and what's been said in interviews about him going into the Christmas special, but it seems to match up. He's certainly grown less haphazard over the last couple of years. I wouldn't say that makes him less interesting though, and I wouldn't say…

As a geek, I hope for more back references, but as a fan of quality television, I hope they're subtle or easily graspable for new viewers. What I mean is that, as much as I enjoy the Doctor Who audios, there is exactly no easy way in for even fans of the classic series because of the insane number of links required.…

But that's kind of the point, isn't it? The last one was weird, exciting, mad in design, much as Eleven was just after regenerating. Now he's calmer, sterner, and sadder to start with, given the loss of the Ponds. He's more in control of himself now, so this interior seems to match what we've seen of him since losing…

2011 - Season 1 - Book 1

I think they're just your favourites by association. I actually like the Batman and Robin logo; it's a nice idea to give Robin a logo that fits with Batman's.

I like you. Be my friend?

How far off is it? I figured at least it's set in the right century...

Richard Burton's?

Well, I'll always feel that little bit burned by how disappointed I was by The Christmas Invasion (and Parting of the Ways before it), so much so that New Earth was almost acceptable, but I appreciate that that's subjective. Objectively, Voyage of the Damned is definitely the greater atrocity. (Although it is…

Hear hear. A Christmas Carol is wonderful, a brilliant re-interpretation of the story, but totally Doctor Who (who didn't gasp at the 'Christmas Future' twist?)

If you want the full length version from the VHS, some kind soul (*ahem*) has now uploaded it to kickasstorrents...

Yeah, I think it would have been so much more interesting if it had been the real Titanic. Definitely felt like they wimped out by making it a spaceship.

True story. It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie is the only Muppet film I have ever turned off. It's hackneyed (obviously), uninspired, and yet everyone in it seems to have an air of smugness that they are somehow naturally funny without even trying. There was an element of that in the recent The Muppets, but…

The Christmas Invasion is terrible! None of it makes sense, the characters say an endless stream of dramatic things which mean absolutely nothing, the 'pilotfish' are a half-arsed idea poorly executed, and it would be an insult to children to call the episode childishly unimaginative. Plus the ridiculously pantomime…

You're breaking my heart, man.

That's a good call, I hadn't noticed them (and the Eye is a really tough one to pick out).

It's a remarkable story. I'm not entirely convinced it completely holds together (but then, even the best Who stories often have that element), but it is complex, intriguing, intelligent and evocative. I've just caught up with the Ace/Hex stories, and I've loved the climax to their latest arc. The TV series can only…

Have you heard the sort-of-follow-up, A Death in the Family? Some wonderful tricks of language in that that will, again, have you performing the facepalm until your face can no longer be palmed.

True, everyone was back on the ship by the end of episode 4 (apart from Baltar), but the consequences of that cliffhanger did last for at least the rest of the season. Baltar's blame and trial took him to the end of the season (and led to another major shift for that character), Kara and Lee's storylines weren't even…

British term, series=season. This is Series 7 that's airing now. (It's also used as a way to distinguish from the classic series, which is now generally grouped into 'seasons' rather than series, so you have Seasons 1-26, then the TV movie, then Series 1 beginning with Eccleston).
