Doctor Who “The Big Bang” Review
Doctor Who “The Big Bang” It’s about Time. I often find myself forgetting that this series is predicated on the use of Time Travel. That’s probably because it’s mostly just used to get our heroes to the setting of their... (Continue reading)

Doctor Who “The Hungry Earth” Review
Doctor Who The Hungry Earth After last week’s “character heavy” episode, it was nice to have one that focused primarily on the plot. This one was pretty typical: humans are trying to get someplace they don’t belong, they tick off... (Continue reading)
