It’s only thirteen days away now. No, not Christmas, that that is also thirteen days away. 😉 The Doctor Who Christmas special! “A Christmas Carol”! Thirteen days away! While Doctor Who has done Christmas specials in the past, let’s be honest. There’s nothing Christmassy about “The Christmas Invasion” or “The Runaway Bride” or “Voyage ofContinue reading “On December’s Anticipations”

On a Fallow Period
I haven’t had a lot to say recently. I’ve been busy with work, which has been more than a little hectic. I’ve been busy with writing, including an article that just won’t get itself right. And I haven’t been feeling any sort of creative. That said, I shall endeavor to be a better blogger forContinue reading “On a Fallow Period”
On Craig Ferguson and His Pet Dalek
While I anxiously await Doctor Who‘s Matt Smith’s appearance on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson in an hour and a half, here’s the opening monologue from Ferguson’s Monday, November 15th episode where he goofs off with a Dalek prop: Some thoughts, because I vented on Twitter today some frustrations I’d had when discussingContinue reading “On Craig Ferguson and His Pet Dalek”
On Matt Smith, Craig Ferguson, and Doctor Who
With Doctor Who filming in Utah next week, Doctor Who star Matt Smith will be appearing on The Craig Ferguson Show. Ferguson, of course, is a known Doctor Who fan, as this monologue from his show back in June testifies… At the time of that episode, with Doctor Who heading breakneck towards The Big Bang,Continue reading “On Matt Smith, Craig Ferguson, and Doctor Who”
On Sorting Out the Doctor Who Comics Chronology
Of interest probably only to myself, I’ve been trying to work out a chronology of the Doctor Who comics set between “Journey’s End” and “The End of Time.” From the Doctor’s perspective, in what order did they occur? Here’s what I’m currently thinking, with television adventures bolded… “Journey’s End” “The Time of My Life” (DoctorContinue reading “On Sorting Out the Doctor Who Comics Chronology”
On “The Death of the Doctor”
In spite of my love for Lis Sladen, I don’t normally watch The Sarah Jane Adventures. I watched the first season and enjoyed it, mostly, but there were other things to do with my time and, to be honest, getting ahold of the episodes always seemed like more trouble than benefit. But I made anContinue reading “On “The Death of the Doctor””
On Doctor Who’s Utah Location Shoot
Doctor Who is coming to the United States! No, not that it’s coming to American television; it’s already airing on BBC America, and it’s doing quite well for them. No, two episodes of Doctor Who‘s forthcoming season will be filmed on location in Utah. Doctor Who will open, for the first time since the seriesContinue reading “On Doctor Who’s Utah Location Shoot”
On Speculations About Doctor Who’s Game-Changer
As I wrote about a few days ago, the upcoming episodes of Doctor Who will be split into two seasons — season six (7 episodes) at Easter, season seven (6 episodes) in the autumn. Showrunner Steven Moffat is quoted in The Guardian as saying that the sixth season (that being spring) will end with “anContinue reading “On Speculations About Doctor Who’s Game-Changer”
On Doctor Who’s Forthcoming Season
The sixth season of the new Doctor Who will be split in two; seven episodes airing from Easter, with the final six episodes airing later in the fall. According to the BBC’s press release: The split transmission is the result of a request from Steven Moffat to write a new Doctor Who story arc whichContinue reading “On Doctor Who’s Forthcoming Season”
On a Surprisingly Good Day
Today was, barring two transportation snags with the Baltimore Light Rail system that aren’t worth mentioning, a surprisingly good day. I received an Advance Reader’s Copy of Michael Moorcock’s forthcoming Doctor Who novel, The Coming of the Terraphiles. 😯 I was retweeted by the Voyager 2 space probe. (Okay, okay, it’s by the JPL team,Continue reading “On a Surprisingly Good Day”
