No mention of Arden Lyn?

I've heard the theory that Lucas is deliberately trolling his super fans with this. He goes out of his way to use the wrong term knowing that it will irk obsessive fans. Once I heard this theory, it put these interviews in a whole new light.

Le sigh. Yes, news flash: all physical media has a lifespan. Even priceless treasures like the Mona Lisa and the U.S. Constitution are slowly disintegrating into nothingness. So why do chumps like me still buy physical media like CDs, DVDs, books, and so forth? Well, if I can buy a CD for $5 and "only" listen to…

I find Capaldi's portrayal to be a refreshing change. The Doctor is hundreds of years old and doesn't always look and act like a 30-ish young fellow. He has already been old, cranky, wise, and mysterious at various points in his younger incarnations, and it's nice to see them bring back some of these elements in the…

I've never quite understood the view that Six was completely awful but Seven was suddenly a lot better. They were both flawed but both had bright spots. Honestly, given the choice of something like Happiness Patrol or Delta and the Bannermen (both of which are embarrassingly bad), I would pick anything from Six.

Agreed! I really have enjoyed these write-ups and I will miss not having them in the future.

Ugh. I am very glad that he decided to change this. The final name is significantly better than the draft name. The provocative gibberish is more compelling than the misspelled swearing.

Yeah, I had the same thought as I was reading this list. Anything that's gets played on the radio frequently, anything that's longer than 4 minutes, or anything that's the result of the Beatles trying something new…let's put it on the list.

Quite frankly, "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" shouldn't be on either list. It's novel enough that any Beatles fan who hasn't heard it should hear it, but it's not new or different enough to make it a required entry on the Ultimate Beatles Mixtape (TM). Plus: did they bother to cross-check these lists? This points to a…

Uh…this is a nice bit of continuity for Sarah Jane Smith because she is remembering her *own* adventure with the Doctor in Death to the Daleks. She had joined the Third Doctor on his adventures in Time Warrior at the beginning of season 11, so Death to the Daleks was her third adventure.

Earning a buck for watching Doctor Who. That sounds like a dream job to me.

I do like the fake out in The Ark: The Doctor finds a problem on the spaceship, solves it, and then leaves like he does in every serial, only to return to the same place in the future to discover that he has made everything worse. I've always had the nagging sense that the Doctor gets to leave too easily—that things…

Yeah, the Doctor Who DVD info text is always worth a watch. I'm disappointed that they don't all have this text.

Speaking of Lalla Ward, there was a recent discovery of a 1960s era interview for the show A Whole Scene Going:

One thing to note about the last season of McCoy in DVD is that most of the season is out-of-print in Region 1 (United States and Canada). Here is a quick poll of current prices from a popular ecommerce web site:
Battlefield: $49.99
Ghost Light: $96.04
Curse of Fenric: $49.99
This is, quite frankly, utterly ridiculous…

Another classic Doctor Who review = huzzah! But only two more after this = drats! This is still the plan? You haven't reconsidered? These classic Doctor Who reviews are the main reason why I come to this site. What about switching these reviews to being occasional with tie-ins to other AV Club features? So if…

Yeah, that's not the most flattering screen capture of Tom Baker. Mary Tamm also has light reflecting on her face, but it doesn't have the same melting effect.

Right, we don't want to overstate this. Note that I made the point that there was the old *joke* that Doctor Who is the source for everything. (Considering they spent a couple of seasons systematically ripping off Hammer Horror films, it's hard to make the point that the show is the source for original ideas.) On…

Yeah, I certainly could go for this more frequently. There's lots of ground left to cover. Twice a month would be great.

They certainly got the "grotesque squid monster" down.
