Doctor Who Special Reviews: The Church on Ruby Road
The Church on Ruby Road marks the beginning of Ncuti Gatwa’s tenure as the Doctor, and while the episode was a mixed bag, Ncuti did such a good job.

The Giggle marks the end of Doctor Who’s trilogy of specials, and, like each one, I enjoyed it a lot and found a core issue. This one is perhaps the most flattering flaw on paper, though, even if I consider Wild Blue Yonder to be the stronger episode overall. Simply put, The Giggle is too short—way, way too short.

If Doctor Who: Wild Blue Yonder had been a novelization, it would be in my top ten favorite Doctor Who stories across any season, with any Doctor. Full stop. I love it when Doctor Who leans into horror and the weirder side of the universe.

Doctor Who: The Star Beast marks the return of so many things. The return of Russell T. Davies as showrunner. The return of David Tennant as the 14th Doctor. And a continuation of Catherine Tate’s Donna Noble story that had originally ended in a tragic mindwipe after she helped save the universe.

Doctor Who is a fun, campy show most of the time, but it occasionally decides to terrify. The Daleks are the most famous example, but there’s more to see than just one evil alien race. More twisted, disturbing, and dark things out in that universe.

(Thanks to Alicia Lopez for her amazing article!) Our society likes to imagine the end of the world. Each year, dozens of dystopian, apocalyptic, and post-apocalyptic movies grace the big screen. Movies like Captive State (2019) and Extinction (2018), paint images of alien invasion and the destruction of the human race. I love a good…

“Kerblam!” Finally Sold Me On Season 11 I feel I was, perhaps, a little unfair to Jodie Whittaker, and Doctor Who season 11 in general. Going further into the show has led to a lot more fun episodes, and moments for the newest Doctor to shine. The second episode had a great premise; “Rosa” was…

Doctor Who Is About Fun Adventure Brush away all the controversy, shall we? Doctor Who has always played fast and loose with its lore. The point of Doctor Who is to deliver fun, pulpy science fiction stories, and clever twisty adventures. It’s a show where the whole idea is that they can do just about…
