This is the episode that I’ve been waiting for. Despite the plot holes, “Listen” was the best episode so far in Capaldi’s tenure as the Doctor. What if we’re never really alone? Personally, I’ve never been afraid of something under the bed (maybe under my car at night, but that was because there was some kind…
Trust me when I say that I love Daleks. With a few exceptions, Dalek episodes always turn out to be some of my favorites from a season. Unfortunately, this is an exception. The episode started out well enough, though a little awkward, with the Doctor pulling a soldier out of a ship that was about…
For those of you who’ve been living under a rock for the past fifty years, Doctor Who is (aside from a sixteen-year gap between 1989 and 2005) one of the longest-lasting science fiction shows in the history of television. The series features the Doctor, a humanoid alien (called a Time Lord) who travels the universe…
“Here we go again.” There is usually a cycle that Whovians go through when the Doctor regenerates. First, we usually dislike the new Doctor. We were already so attached to the previous Doctor that, when a new man takes over the TARDIS, there’s a certain resentment. Until we fall in love. Which is around the…
Welcome to Pre-view, Post-View! As many of you may know, we here at Sci-Fi Bloggers like to try out different kinds of segments, pieces, etc., every once in a while to see what works and what doesn’t. In Pre-view, Post-view, you’ll get to see the viewpoint of the writer prior to and after the show being reviewed,…
Take these with a grain of salt and/or a pinch of humor, but if you’re looking for a costume unlike any other, read on. Last summer there were a lot of cute, creative, and snazzy ladies (and a few gentlemen) dressed as the Doctor’s TARDIS. Keeping with that theme, I think this should be the…
So, I have officially discovered my new strange addiction. After watching only one episode, Torchwood has completely enthralled me. The first thing I thought before even getting ten minutes in was that this show is giving me so much more Doctor Who. Airing in 2006, Torchwood is actually a spin-off of the Who series. It…
So, I just watched the “Utopia” episode of Doctor Who. The doctor and his companions are at the end of the universe. Earth is basically dead, and the last of the human population is divided between, I guess, the normal looking ones and the cannibal, creepy, vampire-looking ones, called the Futurekind. At this point, Earth’s…
I’ve been down this road before. You can’t live in this world without knowing at least two avid Whovians, so after some badgering, stalking, and finally the use of force, I sat down to watch the infamous Doctor Who. It was the very first episode of the first season. It was about…well, I’m not entirely…
(WARNING: There are major spoilers below for Star Trek, Doctor Who, and Battlestar Galactica.) 5. Tasha Yar (Star Trek: The Next Generation) Whilst you may see it as strange to add Tasha Yar’s death to the list, I feel as though her death was quite a shock. Tasha died attempting to defend Counsellor Deanna Troi,…
(A-Z of Science Fiction Characters will be a twenty-six week-long, personal opinion series, showcasing only a handful of the best characters in science fiction television. I say “handful” as there are numerous science fiction characters to choose from, however this series will show a large variety of characters.) Amy Pond Played by: Karen Gillian From: Doctor Who (Seasons 5,…
There is absolutely nothing I prefer doing more than spending the night having a Star Trek marathon or participating in the various science fiction fandoms, discussing the ins and outs of the Doctor Who franchise and growing collectively excited over new previews and promos. The numerous communities seriously committed and dedicated to science fiction are the best groups to…
