Remember how I said I had high expectations for the God Complex? Well, they were NOTHING compared to my expectations for this one. The Lodger, where Craig Owens first appears, is one of my favorite episodes of all time. It also spawned the brilliant Chameleon Circuit song “Kiss the Girl”, which is one of my favorites from their recent album, Still Got Legs. (I also really liked “Mr. Pond”, and “Traveling Man” for the whispered line at the end, “just this once, everybody lives”, from one of my OTHER all-time favorite episodes). Anyways, moving on. I was SO excited for this episode, and for the most part, it did not let me down. Continue reading “Closing Time: Craig and the return of the cybermen”

The God Complex: Faith and failure
I had a lot of expectations for this episode, partially because I love plays and movies that take place in a single location, and partially because the idea of exploring the ever-growing God Complex of the Doctor is long overdue. I’m not going to say I disliked this episode, because it was fun and interesting, but it definitely fell short in a lot of ways. Continue reading “The God Complex: Faith and failure”
Cooking with Gandalf 3: Eggs, Frenchified Toast, and Portland
More cooking, more noises, sadly less dancing, and 100% more shake weights.
The Girl Who Waited: Handsy robots and heartbreak
I should have written this post the minute I watched this episode. Nothing in this blog can measure up to the emotion I felt after the first viewing. Nothing can ever reach that level again. Holy crap. Continue reading “The Girl Who Waited: Handsy robots and heartbreak”
So I guess I don’t suck at ceramics anymore [an apology]
Since I’ve been as reliable as a cheating husband lately when it comes to blogging, I thought I’d bring you a blog FULL of pictures (which, you can admit it, is much more fun than a texty-text blog). Then, Wednesday, I’ll write for you (finally) my “The Girl Who Waited” review (hint: I loved it), and on Friday I’ll write my “The God Complex” review (after I watch it, which, as of right now, I have not). I know that 2 DW blogs in a week doesn’t really cut it for a lot of you readers, but it’s better than nothing like last week, right? Right?? I at least brought you two videos.

I AM SO SORRY
So I’m on the train to Portland right now and I just wanted to write you a quick post on my phone because I am SO SORRY.
I have been horribly inconsistent with blogs lately. I didn’t post for the last two Mondays and yesterday I forgot to post my new Doctor Who blog about the excellent episode “The Girl Who Waited.” And by “forgot to post” I obviously mean “I didn’t write.”
I will make it up to you, I swear. I’ll catch up this and next weekend and hopefully by the end of September I’ll be posting consistently again.
It’s just… Videos are HARD. Especially when I’m back to two a week and I also have, like, homework and stuff. My playwriting class, while great, might just fry my brain by the end of the year.
BUT NO MORE EXCUSES! New blog on Monday, new TheseFolk tomorrow! I have to stop typing now because I’m getting nauseous. Bye!

I’ll upload the next video as SOON as it’s edited.
