It’s been talked to death for the past couple of days, and now for my $0.02 worth of web-space on the “wardrobe failure” incident of the Super Bowl. First off, I didn’t watch the event (just look at the TV Corner bLog – I was watching Doctor Who…) but withContinue Reading
My 40th anniversary Doctor Who marathon continues today at 2:45 PM PST Nightmare of Eden (commercial episodic version.) I’ve always enjoyed this story, and even years later it still holds up. A couple of ships locked together, monsters running amuck, and drug smuggling… 3.5/5Continue Reading
My, it has been a while – but the Doctor Who marathon continues today at 12:00 PM PST with Destiny of the Daleks (episodic version.) This story kicks off one of the silliest series of Doctor Who (must be the influence of the new script editor – Douglas Adams…) TheContinue Reading
My 40th anniversary marathon of Doctor Who continues today at 1:30 PM PST with The Key to Time, part three – The Stones of Blood (commercial episodic version.) Never really been a favorite of mine, but it isn’t that bad of a story. It’s Earth; there are bloodthirsty stone creatures,Continue Reading
It’s been awhile, but the marathon continued at 1:05 PM PST with The Sunmakers (episodic version.) One my all time favorite stories (well, I am the son of an accountant…) Man is now on Pluto, thanks to “the Company”, and their lives consist of working, paying taxes, and never knowingContinue Reading
Having taken the holidays off from my marathon, I now resume at 8:00 PM PST with Image of the Fendahl (episodic version.) A very good story, that doesn’t rely on special effects to tell it. Apparently man’s evolution was affected by something terrible that is recalled in Time Lord mythology.Continue Reading
My Doctor Who marathon continues tonight at 6:40 PM PST with Horror of Fang Rock (episodic version.) This series starts out with your typical horror story: a group of people trapped in a solitary location with a monster. A very effective story, with alot of infighting and distrust to makeContinue Reading
I ended up skipping last night, but I now continue today at 9:30 AM PST with The Deadly Assassin (episodic version.) Our first real look at the world of the Time Lords finds the Doctor being set up for the assassination of the outgoing president of the high council. OfContinue Reading
Tonight at 7:15 PM PST I continued with my marathon with the start of the 14th series story the Masque of Mandregora (episodic version.) A refreshing change from the more contemporary and futuristic stories (Pyramids barely counts as a historically placed story) takes us to Italy on the cusp ofContinue Reading
My marathon continues this afternoon at 1:15 PM PST with Android Invasion (episodic version.) Possibly the last good script for the series by Terry Nation (though this is based on my memory of Destiny of the Daleks.) It’s an Invasion of the Body Snatchers sort of story, except that theContinue Reading
