So Sutek – the god of death – is the “boss” of this whole pantheon of other gods, including Maestro as god of music and the Toymaker as god of games? Is he “the one who waits”? And does that also make him the boss of Beep the Meep? How does that creature fit into…[Read more]

After all this hoo-ha, and the absolute gripping last episode, I found this one rather anticlimactic. Or at least not what I had expected. It did have nice moments and twists – I liked Mel becoming “evil”, for example. Regarding the plt, I got a bit lost. The Doctor, Mel and Ruby travelled in… what exactly?

Anyway. Nice to see Mad Auntie Mel again, and Rose and Kate Lethbridge Steward. Also the scene where Ruby was introduced to her confused me a bit, as I thought they did already meet in 73 Yards. But I realised that was a different timeline and an older Ruby, and I guess they…[Read more]

Nicely creepy episode! The Doctor is finally beginning to warm towards Martha, although Iā€™m not entirely convinced if thatā€™s a good idea, at least for her. Anyway, nice creepy monster ā€“ did I understand corre…[Read more]

So I’ll start with Gridlock. Great start ā€“ I liked the beginning when the Doctor describes Gallifrey, but the way he says it makes it clear somethingā€™s not right. However weā€™re back in New New York ā€“ seems to become almost a standard for a first trip, hm? And even the sisters with the…[Read more]

Thought I would continue my “commentary” with the more recently viewed episodes. This was my first episode with neither Rose nor Donna – having watched the 14th Doctor in between, I guess I’ve already joined “Team Donna” and was quite surprised to find that there is a…[Read more]

So it’s been a couple of weeks and I’ve forgotten a lot of the details, but I loved it from start to finish.

Guess I picked the perfect time to join, there was so much stuff in these three episodes where I thought “I presume there is a background to this that I don’t know about…” – in other words, there is a whole universe that wants to be explored! I admit I started watching because of David…[Read more]
