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]

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]

There are so many reasons and I am not sure it was all his fault but I guess like the captain of a ship…

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]
