It will probably be a long time until I get to watch it, but hopefully for all of you caught-up people it turns out to be entertaining.

I guess no matter what some shorts and related content is going to slip by me.  At least I will catch all of the episodes.

I thought Jackson and Rosita made a good team, and you could buy into the idea early on that they were the Doctor and…[Read more]

But I think it isn’t that literal and they meet in any old wibbly-wobbly order.  Since they always use the book as a checklist of t…[Read more]

What bothered me most about the episode was all of the yelling.  Catherine Tate playing off of David Tennant is one thing, but Catherine T…[Read more]
