Doctor Who as of Season 6 Episode 4

Well it seems as if the writers of Doctor Who have finally admitted it. Who was always on the extremely soft side of the sci-fi scale, but as of this season it seems to have finally come out of the closet as a fantasy show. The plot devices and regular Doctor Who Deus ex Machinae have gone beyond the boundaries of sci-fi and into the more forgiving realm of space-fantasy.

Yes, the aliens are still there, the time-travel's still there, but the contrived science behind the show is getting increasingly far-fetched. Nurse-mermaids entering from parallel universes due to a simple reflection? What happened to the TARDIS nearly dying when the Doctor last tried to cross parallels? Or the fact that David Tennant sealed them off?


Don't get me wrong, I still love the show, and Matt Smith is fantastically filling the considerably large boots left behind by Tennant. Like Tennant, he seems to have a dark, nasty side underneath the mountain of quirks. He's the college professor everyone craves, and the ADHD kid everyone loves, all wrapped into one; topped off of course with a lavish helping of good ol' British cheese.

The season has started off fantasically with the two-part Silence episode (yes, Moffet has added more reasons not to sleep at night), I felt the pirate episode to be a bit of a lull, but Neil Gaiman's 'The Doctor's Wife' was a fantasic episode, as required by now from an amazing writer.

We expectantly await more.

Over and out.

One More Sleep!!!

As I write this, on December 24th, there is only one more day until the most important day on the year, yes, tomorrow is THE DOCTOR WHO CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!!!!

I adore Matt Smith, just as much as I adored David Tennant, Matt brings a sense of childish wonder to the role. If some of you Whovians are still having issues adjusting to Matt, I find it best to consider it like this: whenever a new Doctor comes along, just consider it the starting of a brand new show, and not a continuation.

Anyway, this is basically Doctor Who's version of the classic Dickens tale 'A Christmas Carol', with Michael Gambon playing the Scrooge character named 'Elliot Sardick' The Doctor must 'save the soul' of Elliot to rescue Amy and Rory (who I presume are on their honeymoon) from certain death, as they are stuck in a spaceship abut to crash. That's all I know, and it doesn't make much sense. But we'll still love it. As this is a Christmas episode, remember it's more than likely going to be very very cheesy (Voyage of the Damned anyone?).

Anyway, supposedly there's also a Christian holiday called Christmas tomorrow, I suppose it must have been invented to honour the Doctor Who Christmas Special. What are you getting for DWCS Day? Tell me what you're getting and what you want! And Merry Doctor Who Christmas Special to everybody!

Over and out!
