I don’t often share YouTube videos, but I saw this video and was rather impressed. Someone put together a trailer for Doctor Who: The Time War. The Time War, for those unfamiliar with it, is the conflict that’s been mentioned in the new series on several occasions in which the Daleks and the Time LordsContinue reading “On the Time War”

On The Beatles in Doctor Who
I was browsing the forums at Outpost Gallifrey the other day and came across a thread that asked, “Should Doctor Who do a Beatles episode?” That caught my attention. 🙂 A clip of the Beatles appears in “The Chase” — and had the scheduling worked out the Beatles might’ve appeared in the story. Ian’s familiarContinue reading “On The Beatles in Doctor Who”
On Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer
My friend Todd “Scavenger” Kogutt keeps telling me about the Doctor Who spin-off he’d love to see: Abslom Daak: Dalek Killer, starring Bruce Campbell. The first time he told me this I must confess that I snarfed coffee on my monitor–I just didn’t see it. But after the recent Dalek two-parter Todd brought the ideaContinue reading “On Abslom Daak, Dalek Killer”

On some deserted road in the middle of a forest four eastern European women are driving through the night, through a stretch of woods that one of the women claims is theContinue reading “On Abducted by the Daleks”
On Dalek Naughtiness
Had I known about this, I’d probably have wanted to see it: Abducted by the Daleks, a pornographic film in which women are abducted by the Daleks for use as sex slaves. The Sun, a London tabloid, described the film thusly: Dr Who’s foes capture three naked “disco babes” in the 18-rated DVD. They chaseContinue reading “On Dalek Naughtiness”
On the Doctor's Greatest Foes
There’s a rumor that in the upcoming season of Doctor Who there may be a story pitting the Doctor’s two greatest foes against one another–the Daleks and the Cybermen. Sure, it’s a fanwanky concept. That’s the appeal. So, if I were writing a Dalek vs. Cybermen story, this is what I’d do…. Set it duringContinue reading “On the Doctor's Greatest Foes”

Mid-way through the month, and the top search term here is Commander Cody, followed closely behind by Dalek and Kzin. I need to lay off the sci-fi. 😉
December’s Greatest Hits
The top fifteen reasons people checked out allyngibson.com in the month of December. 15. “John Lennon atheist.” I wouldn’t call Lennon an atheist, per se, but he certainly had his issues with organized religion. Witness this quote–“Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I am right, and have been proven right. We’re bigger thanContinue reading “December’s Greatest Hits”
