Holy wow, Dot and Bubble. I don't know that the previous iterations of the show - or any show for a family audience - would have been as bold. This one is absolutely not holding back. #doctorwho
The fact that classic Marvel UK Transformers artist Geoff Senior still draws Transformers is great but even cooler is he still often draws/paints Death's Head, the character he created with Simon Furman that was first in the Transformers stories, then crossed over into Marvel UK's Doctor Who comic stories and then the Marvel superhero universe too. :O
And Senior's art style is still awesome. I love it. So dynamic :)
You're a big Doctor Who fan, right? If I asked you what the world DALEK meant, you'd probably tell me that it is an anagram of KALED - the original name of their species. You'd be wrong. In 1965, it was clearly established by a canonical source, that the world DALEK stands for: Destroy without […]
It will never ever, ever happen because he's not British, but I swear to God, Guillermo Del Toro is possibly the best person on the planet to helm #DoctorWho right now.
Just give us ONE season of Del Toro Who. It could be glorious.
I think I need to watch it another time (or two) but #DoctorWho#73yards isn't vibing with me like it is for most others in my orbit
While it raises many questions that are intriguing and are fun to speculate about, I think there's one question that is bugging me to the point of getting in the way of my enjoyment of the episode
This week, we find ourselves completely unable to connect and terrified of being abandoned by everyone we’ve ever cared about. Fortunately there’s an excellent episode of Doctor Who to cheer us up.

There's probably one issue I have with a lot of RTD-written episodes of #DoctorWho Season One: they rarely establish a rulebook and play by it. It's all very vague and whimsical a la "and then this happened". In "The Giggle" we had some rules laid out with the Toymaker but e.g. in "The Devil's Chord" I had no idea why stuff that happened actually happened. It's a bit similar with "73 Yards", which was held together by atmosphere and Millie Gibson.
Hey y'all. So... since I was in Junior High, my fellow nerds were always watching Doctor Who on PBS.
I never got into it but due to the fact that I traveled in D&D, chess, home computer, board games (Diplomacy, anyone?) & other nerd circles, I knew about how the Doctor was a Timelord, changed bodies every season or so & the Cybermen & Daleks & many enemies of the Doctor were legendary.
I'm in my mid-50s now & I've never seen a single episode of #DoctorWho. So...
