Sadly the new season of Doctor Who is worse than last year. I’m not even keeping up with the episodes, last one I watched was “Can you Hear Me”. I was so disappointed and missing real Doctor Who so much I immediately re-watched the 50th anniversary special and  “An Adventure In Space and Time” again to remind myself the…[Read more]

The Doctors hand only grew back because his regeneration had not completed, if he had been fully regenerated the hand would have remained missing…. possibly replaced with the Luke Skywalker trick.

I was so disappointed when Torchwood ended… grrrrrr.

I’ve always believed the Doctor’s “Sonic” was telepathic. Only way a device with what appears to be only one button and no display could possibly function in the manner the Doctor uses it.
