@nerys    Covid did bring out the beast of us and the worst of us.  There have always been racists ,bigots and haters of all shapes and sizes here in Canada and around the world but the rest of us told them they were dispicable and held them accountable. When the big orange menace emerged from the muck he took a big stick and lifted up the rock th…[Read more]

@ps1l0v3y0u  I watched it this afternoon and I enjoyed it again. The same things made me smile like the lemonade tap and the hammocks and the same things made me cry. It was a good romp through the wardrobe into an acid rain storm.

Madge is fierce and I love it! She even manages to put the Doctor in his place, next is the naughty step for…[Read more]

I finally got to watch this 2 parter again and found I still liked the good parts and still think the Slitheen are a bit silly. Not that they aren’t menacing and scary at times but the farting was silly and after awhile ,annoying. The older I get the more I feel for Jackie who has no idea where her  daughter is for a whole year and Mickey who was…[Read more]

@janetteb  @whohar       I am not sure how I feel about this.  There was such high hopes for RTD’s  return and everything seemed to go wrong. There are so many reasons and I am not sure it was all his fault but I guess like the captain of a ship…

There was a lot of really good stuff  in the last couple of series and the 15th Doctor was excelle…[Read more]

It was a cold and rainy evening here, perfect for a spooky Halloween but horrible for the little trick or treaters.  While we don’t get a lot of the little weeners here because we live “in the country” we usually get 10 or so. Tonight we had a total of 2 kids begging for candy. One was a scary Micheal Myers  and the other was an 80s girl c…[Read more]

I watched this again and liked it even more than the first time. This feels so Victorian and  Dickensian with its dark rooms lit by gas lights and the horses and streets and a spooky funeral home. The dead are walking.Not all aliens are  honest. The Doctor has to save Rose and Dickens tags along to help.

I actually added this episode to my C…[Read more]

I watched it again and enjoyed it all over again. It was strange to take Rose to the end of Earth and even a little cruel but maybe he was testing her. If she could handle this event and all the aliens maybe she was a good choice of companions. Maybe he was trying to show her how sad he was about Gallifrey. Maybe he doesn’t think at all. He does…[Read more]

@janetteb  Yes, all the episodes. I actually don’t mind Kill the Moon or Love  and Monsters. In fact I like the Who fans who meet to discuss the Doctor but soon become friends and even more. They all had a cruel ending. I don’t enjoy the episodes where the Doctor “dies” and regenerates ,  too sad for me. The cruelty of the cybermen also creeps me…[Read more]

I have decided to watch every episode of new Who starting with Rose and ending with 15s regeneration into Rose. Feels like a good circle to follow. I am going to watch them all, even the ones I don’t like so much and the ones that scare me. I will watch the silly ones and the impossible ones and in order. This is my quest for the coming…[Read more]

@janetteb  @ps1l0v3y0u     Libraries are great. I love our local library, in fact I could live in the library surrounded by books and archives and dvds. Ours now lends out life preservers and park passes and gives weekend craft kits to kids. They give tech help which I have needed now and then. They also have a Lego club! My librarians help me g…[Read more]

Yikes!

@whohar    This perfectly describes all that I love about the Doctor. I would add brave , reckless and a little crusty around the edges. Also quirky very quirky. You know that this person is not from around here.

stay safe

@ps1i0v3y0u   The Moment is in the tower in the episode. The Moment is the one who reminds the War Doctor that the sonic screwdrivers of all 3 were the same. She says something like “different case, same software” so therefore it had a long time to work out the door. Of course that was unlocked all the time.

This is also one of my faves!

stay safe

@janetteb  @dentarthurdent   @ps1l0v3y0u         The fear and menace was as thick as butter in this one. There is something behind you, no don’t turn around ,don’t look! Wait, what? What is behind me? We don’t know but don’t try to find out or it gets angry. I wouldn’t last a minute.

While Midnight was a study in group behaviour under extreme…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   This had a very fairy tale feel to it. Stories that feed a ship on top of a giant spider. The barbershop setting was so normal and everyday, you go in ,sit down and get your hair cut.What could be more normal? Except now you are trapped in an never ending circle of hair cuts and story telling and then your hair grows back so y…[Read more]

@nerys   @blenkinsopthebrave  and all my fellow Canadians and Whovians .Happy Canada Day! The lady looks good for her age. Our true north, strong and free. We have a lot of problems and there is lots of room for improvement but we are free to vote, to voice our concerns, to make our own decisions about our future and to stand up for the vu…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent      Hercules and Xena were 2 shows we watched as a family and we all liked it. My youngest son was a big fan and still watches them now and then. Loved Gabby and Iolas and all the Gods and Romans that showed up. I remember that episode and got a chuckle out of the ending.

I don’t know why people forget George Westinghouse, he wa…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   I get the techie-angst , I feel the same about  historical shows. Drives me up the wall if they get things wrong. Especially if they claim to be true or based on a true story.Lucky for me Doctor Who makes none of these claims so I kinda shrug and continue watching.

Your weather sounds lovely. We did cool down today to a nice 23…[Read more]

@dentarthurdent   I do love a good story!  If FX or CGI enhance the story than that is great. I loved when SmithDoc rode his motorcycle up the sides of the Shard or all the alien ships hovered over Stonehenge and the aliens get more convincing every series but you still have to have a good tale to tell. Lucky for me ,I am easily pleased and I li…[Read more]

@blenkinsopthebrave     I also think it could be awhile before we see the Doctor back on TV. I really hope that doesn’t happen because I’m not getting any younger.  If there is one thing I know about Who fans is that they/me have a lot of patience when it comes to Doctor Who. Some people will move on and maybe never return to the show but I wil…[Read more]
