@cornealiariggar That is interesting if it is true!

So this episode features the introduction of the Tenth Doctor’s blue suit, which is like an alternate outfit for him I guess until a certain point in the series.  I liked both suits but the blue one really pops, and became my favorite of the two.

It is also the introduction of Martha Jones as…[Read more]

I enjoyed the whole scene where the Doctor was flying the TARDIS down the highway, trying to get Donna to jump into it.

This episode had a lot of great lines and moments, but the only one I can remember was when the Doctor pulled the remote control out of his pockets and explained “they’re bigger on the inside.”  The Segway scene was fun,…[Read more]

There is a lot to unpack here, and I’m sure I’m not going to get to everything.  I’ll touch on things I think to.

So firstly we have a cameo by Freema Agyeman in Army of Ghosts.

The television commercial for a product people can use to polish their “ghost” was comical, as were some of those other ghost things on the tele.  I had forgotten w…[Read more]

I watched Fear Her, which again doesn’t have its own thread, so I will discuss it here.

At first I wanted to write this episode off as being one of the weakest in the season, and it is certainly one of several season 2 episodes I didn’t have any recollection of.  But there was some charm to it, and I didn’t think it was a bad episode.

Well to…[Read more]

So this episode actually has a thread, I’m guessing because RTD wrote it.  I see that opinions on this episode were pretty mixed with you guys, with lots of criticism.

I liked Love and Monsters, if just because I found the change in perspective to Elton refreshing.  It’s fun knowing the Doctor and Rose are going on all of these adventures b…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave I had never heard of the Whomobile, and it’s one of those things I’m kind of glad didn’t stick, lol.  I guess every fandom has some short-lived thing like that though.  At least the cool stuff caught on, like the sonic screwdriver.

@devilishrobby I guess we have James Bond to thank for some of the more experimental i…[Read more]

So imagine my surprise to discover that The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit don’t have a thread, either.  Jeebus.  We’re going on 5 episodes straight with no thread of their own.  Anyway I am going to bombard this thread one more time to talk about those episodes.

First of all it really is a crime that neither one of these has a thread be…[Read more]

I just watched The Idiot’s Lantern, episode 7 of season 2.  I’ll post my rewatch thoughts here since it has no thread.

This one’s going to be short and simple, since I feel like this was very much a filler episode.  I thought it was a fun episode, especially since the Doctor and Rose dressed up like they were from the 50’s.  There was a lot of us…[Read more]

So I am also going to post a rewatch entry for Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel here, since they have no thread.  (Why?)  This will be quick since it is late.

The episode begins with the TARDIS falling into another dimension, and going cold.  It’s never really explained what caused this, but I have to wonder if it had anything to do wi…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I suspected Jackie was dating the man she borrowed the truck from, or at least it seemed that way when I watched it.  I think by the time of the Christmas Invasion she is dating some other guy though, and she lent the Doctor his pajamas.

I usually don’t like the episodes set in old times as much, but I guess this one circumvents that a little by having the Doctor and crew go to the future and travel through doorways back and forth to the past.

The clockworks were a cool-looking villain outside of their costumes, but I don’t think you could write too many interesting stories with…[Read more]

So now I will talk about episode S2 E3 School Reunion here, because there is no thread for it.

I get that this isn’t a bigger episode, but I think it deserves some praise for bringing back Sarah Jane Smith and K-9, if nothing else.  It served as a backdoor pilot for the Sarah Jane Adventures, or else a cross-over of some sort if that was already…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent I’m getting through as many episodes as I can, but I had the benefit of it being the weekend and me being free to binge a great lot of episodes over the past few days.  That will likely slow.  And I’m not so sure I’ll get the opportunity to chew through so much Who on other weekends.

I think I was determined to watch through the f…[Read more]

So I had completely forgotten this episode was a thing, and probably only watched it once back in 2010, and not again until just now.

The opening scene felt like something out of an action movie, with the monks fighting the master of the house and taking it from him.

I actually enjoyed Rose and the Doctor waiting for Queen Victoria to say she…[Read more]

The 10th forever makes a good point, it is always good to see The Face of Boe in an episode.  New Earth also aims to be this companion episode to The End of the World, and while it isn’t quite as good as that episode it does have a lot of memorable moments.  In particular, Cassandra body-hopping between Rose and the Doctor.

I feel like Tenth D…[Read more]

One of the first things I noticed was how much damage was being done to Jackie and Rose’s house in this episode.  First a spinning tree saws through their doorway, then all of the glass in all of the apartments gets blown out of the windows when the Sycorax ship enters the skies.  It would be interesting to see if this is commented on in the n…[Read more]

This episode started off pretty cool with the Doctor and Jack swooping in through the Dalek fleet and raising their shields, and then rescuing Rose straight away.  The introduction of the Emperor Dalek and revelation that it survived and created new Daleks from humanity’s criminals was something, but then it might have made more sense if the…[Read more]

I liked that, similarly to how Boom Town went back to the Rift plot from the earlier Cardiff episode, this episode went back to the news station from several episodes before.  It is disappointing that humanity hadn’t progressed much since the episode set 100 years prior there, but for some reason the reality show tie-ins really worked to make for…[Read more]

I guess I liked this episode a bit more than the two earlier Slitheen episodes.  As I wrote about in my rewatch for those, though, I am not sure how this one Slitheen even managed to survive that episode and it was never really touched upon.

I liked that this episode had a lot of lighter, fun moments between the Doctor and his companions.  Even M…[Read more]

I forgot most of what actually happened in these two episodes.  Jack had sophisticated technology from the start, and Jack was also responsible for what happened in the episode because he dropped the vehicle with the nano bots that were unfamiliar with what a human is supposed to look like.

A good portion of the episodes were flirting, but it…[Read more]
