For me, War of the Sontarans was a more traditional adventure than the schizoid opener, The Halloween Apocalypse. While I did enjoy each episode, I felt Chapter Two was stronger and featured some decent character development for Dan and The Doctor. I love how fun Dan is. John Bishop has been a breath of fresh air. But, I feel there is a lot more going on with him than we know. … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: Once, Upon Time, Flux: Chapters Four and Five Previewed, David Tennant News

Doctor Whooligan: War of the Sontarans, Capaldi Sings, Season 17 On Blu Ray, Convention News
While The Halloween Apocalypse had the pacing of a season finale, it missed its mark as an opener. Faced with the challenges of introducing a myriad of plot lines and new characters, it was a piece of episodic television that attempted to do a lot in an hour. Sure it covered a lot of ground and established the audience's footing for the season. However, it ended up being more … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: War of the Sontarans, Capaldi Sings, Season 17 On Blu Ray, Convention News

Well, Ascension of the Cybermen was certainly a wild ride. A bit convoluted in places, but thrilling nonetheless. Overall, it was just the pop the series needed as it closed out the season. In a year of low ratings, it is good to have some momentum carrying over. Although, I do not think the overall ratings really matter that much anymore since it is now an international … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: The Timeless Children, Tom Baker Returns to Big Finish, Burn Gorman Update

Doctor Whooligan: The Haunting of Villa Diodati, Tennant On Stage, Palin Joins Torchwood, Chicago TARDIS News
Although Can You Hear Me? was kind of a muddled mess, it was not terrible. The biggest problem it had was the fact that The Eternals cannot die, so the writers had to think of a clever way for them to be defeated. While this is an interesting challenge, it does create a lot of hassles with the overall storytelling in that a 45-minute episode simply may not be able to do it … [Read more...] about Doctor Whooligan: The Haunting of Villa Diodati, Tennant On Stage, Palin Joins Torchwood, Chicago TARDIS News
