The latest season of Doctor Who was a strong season with a fantastic Doctor, I do have some problems with a particular plot element, but luckily the season finale completely erased my complain by being so cleverly plotted. The first part “Pandorica Opens” is epic and emotional….

I still very much like this new season of Doctor Who and the New Doctor, but one problem has been staring at me the whole time – how they treat the season arc this season! In the past seasons under Russell Davis, the arc are very subtle hints and words that none of the characters really notice until almost the last episodes, like Bad Wolf in season 1, Saxon in season 3, or missing planets in season 4. This season, however, the crack in time and space is …

The wait is finally over, a brand new Doctor crashing out of the sky into our backyard. We all have our doubt about how this younger hipster-ish eccentric new Doctor would work and from the moment he climb out of the box, er, the Police Box we all know and love, he own the role! David Tennant is still my favorite Doctor, but yet Matt Smith somehow fit right into the role. I thought I need at least a few episode to get used to him, so it’s …

Part 2 of End of Time was touching and disappointing at the same time. Spoiler alert of course. David and Bernard gave some strong performances, especially in those quiet scenes without actions! Those are the meat of the episode! I also loved that final moment the Master and the Doctor worked together to send the Time Lords back, it was this complex frienemy relationship that make these two character interesting! I also like how the two silly aliens that were pretty much a comic relief in Part 1 is actually incredible …

Spoiler alert……..
Writing about part 1 of a 2 part episode is always difficult because you never really get the full picture of the story. Part 1 is always consist of setups and cliffhangers. That is the case here with part 1 of End of Time. What made this particularly an un even episode is that it is also a Christmas special episode! We tend to forget that Doctor Who was a family show in all its history and still is one after the revival. Its Christmas special were always a …

If people are like software, then they would also have newer versions of themselves when it’s time to replace the older self. A closer example that might make it easier to understand is Doctor Who – the Doctor is a Time Lord, and Time Lord can regenerate 13 times. The latest Doctor is the tenth, and his time is ending soon, the eleventh Doctor will replace him.
Of course the Doctor is a fictional character, real human can’t regenerate when they are about to die. My thought is applying the …

2009 is a tough year for Whoinverse fans. Not only this is the last year for the beloved Tenth Doctor David Tennant, but also because of his commitment with the theater, instead of a regular 13 episodes season, there are only 4 specials leaving fans wanting more. Then Doctor Who’s spin-off Torchwood for some reason also don’t have a regular season, instead it become a one week miniseries of 5 episodes. Of course I was questioning that decision very much, unlike Doctor Who, none of the Torchwood actors were committing …

Novels based on TV series are usually not what I would read cos no matter how good they are, they usually not consider to be really part of the TV series’ timeline or reality. Most of the time it might contradict with the storyline if the series is on-going. However, I come across this book in the store – Doctor Who: The Story of Martha. I wasn’t gonna pick it up, especially Doctor Who is still an on-going series that what ever happened in this book, the chances that the TV series …

The newly announced Doctor is nothing like what people speculated. He’s not a woman, he’s not black, he’s not a well-known actor, his name didn’t show up in rumors. And yet here we go we have the youngest Doctor in the entire history of the show. The young age is definitely caught people by surprise and also what people are focusing on right now. To me my thought was the Doctor has the same condition as Benjamin Button! (just look at how old were the first …
