Review: Vampires in Venice
An enjoyable vampiric romp Have I mentioned that I love the humor of this season of Doctor Who? “Vampires in Venice” sees the Doctor taking Rory and Amy to Venice so they can have a date only to come across a school of what appear to be vampires, only of course…

Review: Flesh and Stone
A poor ending to a brilliant beginning I have to admit that it’s rare that I await the second part of a story with the nail-biting anticipation with which I awaited “Flesh and Stone,” conclusion to the excellent “The Time of Angels” (311.04). The question is: was this second part…

Review: The Time of the Angels
Great entertainment as the Angels deliver again After the so-so third episode, the series needed a fantastic fourth to get back on track, and “The Time of Angels” delivered on every level. From the brilliant opening with the Doctor rescuing River Song to the dramatic cliff-hanger of being trapped by an…

Review: Victory of the Daleks
It’s terrible I really wanted to like this third installment of the Eleventh Doctor’s adventures, and there was much to be hopeful for given the trailers: the rich historical background of England in the Blitz, and the Doctor going up against his oldest enemy. Unfortunately, none of that was enough…

Review: The Impossible Astronaut
A beginning with a lot of questions To say that I was looking forward to the return of Doctor Who doesn’t really encapsulate the sheer bubbling effervescent glee that escalated within me during the long, long wait for the new season. Obviously this is a bad thing because how can anything live…

Review: Day of the Moon
A second part without all the answers Nothing can live up to too much anticipation – or can it? The first episode of the new season had just about defied logic in living up to the hype but it was helped by the fact that it was the first part…

Review: The Curse of the Black Spot
The curse of the 3rd episode Well, here we are again at episode three of a new Doctor Who season and here we are again with something that’s less than stellar. “The Curse of the Black Spot” is supposed to be a pirate romp combining both time and space but ultimately the…

Review: The Doctor’s Wife
A TARDIS and her Doctor “The Doctor’s Wife” is an episode of two identities and two halves; the first is quirky and playing too hard for the laughs but the second is…stunningly tense, dramatic and emotional. The plot is quite ingenious; the Doctor is lured to a junkyard outside of…
