The Future of the Doctor

I’ve been watching Doctor Who since the beginning of the new series, starting with Chris Eccleston as the 9th Doctor. Although I didn’t start watching on schedule until the fifth season (when Matt Smith started), I’ve been viewing this show for about 2 years now, and after an absurd number of blogs on the subject, I like to consider myself a pretty solid fan. I fell in love with Rose, snapped at Martha for not being Rose, rolled my eyes at Donna, and then fell in love all over again with Amy. I’ve seen Daleks, Cybermen, clones, plastic replicas, weeping angels, and a whole manner of alien monsters. So as the summer passes too slowly while I wait for the second half of season 6, I thought I’d think about where I’d like to see the Doctor go in the future.

A Good Man Goes to War: Roranicus and the flesh baby

This is the face of badass

The final episode before the mid-season break, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This episode brings the word “epic” to a whole new level. My mind is, to say it again, totally blown. WHEW. Once again, just in case someone isn’t paying attention, THIS POST CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS. You have been aptly warned. Continue reading “A Good Man Goes to War: Roranicus and the flesh baby”

The Rebel Flesh and Almost People: Mind-blower

I’ve decided to combine these two episodes into one post because there isn’t a whole lot to talk about that won’t be covered in the next (and last… for now) Doctor Who review/discussion blog. That said, however, this blog will spoil one of the most mind-blowing reveals of the new season, so if you have ANY interest in ever watching this show, DO NOT READ ON. Seriously. DON’T DO IT. Because it will totally ruin the whole episode pair. Whew. Ok. We good? Good. Moving on. Continue reading “The Rebel Flesh and Almost People: Mind-blower”

These Folk: Taking a moment

We’ll probably be taking a break during August from TheseFolk, to give everyone time to recharge. But we’ll definitely be back in September, rearing to go!

The Doctor’s Wife: ideas about kissing and being alive

When I heard Neil Gaiman was writing an episode for this season, I was excited. Not because I’d ever read anything by Neil Gaiman, but because I know people who have and I know he’s widely regarded as one of the great writers of our time. So before this episode aired, I made sure to get at least one Gaiman novel under my belt; The Graveyard Book. And, as expected, it was fantastic. Also, one more prefacing thought: THIS EPISODE IS AWESOME. Continue reading “The Doctor’s Wife: ideas about kissing and being alive”

The Curse of the Black Spot: Bad dads and pirate Amy

If you haven’t read my review/speculations from the first two episodes of Doctor Who Series Six, click here and here. Then come back here. This review, although it does include SPOILERS, has less speculation and more review, because this episode is mostly just a filler/fun one. Once that’s understood, onward!
