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
One of the things I love is when a noob starts watching Trek shows for the first time, and they're like, This is so silly, it's ridiculous, that guy turned into a lizard and impregnated his captain, that lady got possessed by a sex ghost that belonged to her grandma, the captain is sorting a room full of floofy guinea pigs, the ship runs on mushrooms, this theme song makes no sense, and I'm just like Yeah, isn't it great?! You either get it or you don't, I don't know what to tell you.
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 […]

You'd be wrong.
In 1965, it was clearly established by a canonical source, that the world DALEK stands for:
Doctor Who wouldn't meet the Yeti for another two years - where it was established they were controlled by The Great Intelligence. Although, as the story is missing perhaps there is some retcon that we're missing?
Of course, there's no metric system in the future:
You think some of today's stories and tie-ins are a bit weird? The DALEK World is a wonderful little time capsule which shows what kids were devouring just a couple of years after Doctor Who first aired. If you can find a copy, I thoroughly recommend having a ruffle through it.
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.
*The sign for the pub, Y Pren Marw, which translates in English as "the dead tree," shows a tree being struck by lightning. It's not on fire, but could this signal a return for Torchwood?
I woke up from a nap thinking the gestures made by the figure in the distance could be semaphore. They're not. Perhaps one of the planet's many sign languages?
Dr Who, Ep3 Boom wasn’t too bad. Though the Doctor crying all the time takes a bit to get used to. Ep4 73 Yards was excellent! Millie flexing her acting skills for sure. The season is improving (thank goodness). #DoctorWho
