The Twelfth Doctor: Year One is a pretty spectacular read, especially for all those Capaldi fans. This delightful romp into the Doctor Who universe is definitely aimed at the early days of the beloved Twelve.
Doctor Who: The Doctor Falls Recap
Synopsis of 10×12: In a season finale that brought me to tears, Peter Capaldi gets the perfect send-off for the Twelfth Doctor. Cybermen attack, the Master flirts with Missy, and the cliffhanger will keep you up until Christmas. I think I’ve been clear that I have little faith in Moffat […]
Doctor Who: The World Enough and Time Recap
Synopsis of 10×11: We’re almost to the end, and Moffat is pulling out all the stops. Missy makes a new (old?) friend, Bill gets an upgrade, and some truly Classic villains make an appearance. So. Many. Questions! Ok, this two-parter (possibly 3-parter if you include Christmas) is almost too much […]
Doctor Who: Empress of Mars Recap
Synopsis of 10×9: In a script by Mark Gatiss, the Tardis Three wind up on Mars facing off with Victorian Soldiers and ancient Ice Warriors. I have to be open about something: I don’t love Gatiss Doctor Who scripts. I don’t like ‘Victory of the Daleks,’ ‘Night Terrors,’ ‘Cold War,’ […]
Doctor Who: Extremis Recap
Synopsis of 10×6: Popes! Zombie Cardinals! Computer Simulations! Different timelines! So much happening! Too much happening? This is your review of ‘Extremis.’ I should have known as soon as I saw “Written by Stephen Moffat” that this was going to be more than one episode. In fact, this will be […]
Doctor Who: Oxygen Recap
Synopsis of 10×5: Looks like someone took a page out of Joss Whedon’s book and decided to fight The Man! Or The Suits, as the Doctor put it. Oxygen takes us back to space, a realm the Doctor has been missing. The episode starts with a bit of Mummy-and-Daddy fighting […]

Doctor Who: The Witch’s Familiar Recap
Summary 9×02: The Doctor is trapped in Skaro with a scheming Davros. Missy and Clara launch a rescue mission, but can the Master really be trusted? Rating: ★★1/2☆☆ If compassion was a disease, the Doctor would be terminal. Any being – human, Time Lord, or otherwise – who can show […]
