So, I was supposed to post my review on Season 15 of Classic Who, but then this happened, and I just had to post my initial reaction and thoughts over here. BBC definitely had a very good Sunday. The Wimbledon was on, Roger Federer won, and the world was finally introduced to the Thirteenth Doctor, after months of speculation as to who it might be. … Continue reading First Reaction: The 13th Doctor (Major Spoilers!)
Aside from the Doctor himself, Steven Moffat’s creation, River Song (Alex Kingston), has been one of the most enigmatic characters on the show. Thankfully, as the show went on, viewers were able to learn more about her at the same time the Doctor did, and as of now, Moffat has finally been able to come full circle and conclude River’s story on screen with “The … Continue reading The Kat’s Character Guide: River Song (MAJOR Spoilers!)
By the time Series 7 of Nu “Doctor Who” came around, Whovians knew that they would be bracing themselves for the departure of Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), causing many to speculate who would be filling up the companion’s job aboard the TARDIS next. And interestingly enough, we met Jenna Coleman’s character in a highly unusual way, which is fitting, as … Continue reading The Kat’s Character Guide: Clara Oswald (Spoilers!)
The end of the Russell T. Davies era in 2010 meant that not only would there be a different showrunner and team, but there would be a new Doctor as well. At first, many had no idea how Matt Smith, who was a relative newcomer at that time, could replace the beloved David Tennant. However, as the show went on, Steven Moffat and Smith were … Continue reading The Kat’s Character Guide: The Eleventh Doctor (Spoilers!)
The Doctor, over the years, sometimes has more than one companion aboard the TARDIS at the same time. However, none of them had the unique position and relationship that Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) had with the Doctor, and in particular, with the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith). Granted, Amy came on board the TARDIS before the ever faithful Rory did, but … Continue reading The Kat’s Character Guide: Amy Pond and Rory Williams (Spoilers!)
Finally, we have made it to this point- marking a major milestone in “Doctor Who” history with the 50th Anniversary Special, and marking the end of the Matt Smith era with his very last outing, “The Time of the Doctor”. These events were both marked with the joy and wonder that this show has given to us viewers for the past fifty years, while celebrating … Continue reading TV Review: The Day of the Doctor + The Time of the Doctor (Spoilers)
At this point in time, “Doctor Who” was truly a global phenomenon, and everyone was already really used to seeing Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. Now with Series 5 and 6 now done in our review, let us now turn our attentions to the third series that the Eleventh Doctor was in- the (very divisive) Series 7. From the get-go, Series 7 was one … Continue reading TV Review: (Nu) Doctor Who Series 7 (Spoilers)
Steven Moffat and Matt Smith had a great freshman run with Series 5 as new showrunner and as the new Time Lord in the TARDIS, respectively. So by the time their sophomore series rolled in, Series 6, viewers and audiences had high hopes for where the show was headed. Interestingly enough, while the series did answer some leftover questions from Series 5, and had some gems … Continue reading TV Review: (Nu) Who Series 6 (Spoilers)
In the past few weeks, we have just gone through the Russell T. Davies era of Nu Who, which rebooted the show, brought it back into the consciousness of people and of pop culture, and had a great run, which, in my opinion, peaked in Series 4. We have gone through two Doctors, three main companions and other companions as well, four series or seasons … Continue reading TV Review: (Nu) Doctor Who Series 5 (Spoilers)
If “The Next Doctor”, “Planet of the Dead”, and “The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith” was the beginning of the end of an era and the Tenth Doctor’s (David Tennant) run; “Waters of Mars” and “The End of Time parts I & II” are definitely the final chapters in the Tenth Doctor’s story (with some inserts in from “Day of the Doctor” as well.) To … Continue reading TV Review: (Nu) Doctor Who Specials Pt. II:Waters of Mars + The End of Time I & II [Bonus: Day of the Doctor] (Spoilers)
