This episode was essentially fanfiction on steroids, more so than most RTD scripts, and we had such great fanservice such as the corridors of the TARDIS. The casting of the TARDIS inhabiting the woman was great and I liked Neil Gaiman's writing/storyline line style that was well at home in Moffat...

And I'm glad Chuck likes Bernard Cribbin's acting and character, which is why I like "The End of Time", even though RTD's scripting was becoming too formulaic by that point since S4.

This was one of the better holodeck episodes. Love or hate TNG+ era holodeck (and it was shamelessly used as a plot generator) it was one of the crucial things that made the setting convincingly futuristic.

This was easily the worst Dalek story in NuWho - "The Stolen Earth"-"Journey's End" and "Victory of the Daleks" had their issues as well and really pissed some fans off (with the Dalek army blowing up too easily and Power Rangers paint work), but are not as devoid of entertainment value and fun a...

@thunderphoenix440 I agree that trip home could've been compressed in S6/7, especially after they made contact with Starfleet. Voyager could've ended ended more neatly in its sixth season without dragging in the Borg like in "Unimatrix Zero".

02:00 He'd be turned into red paint.

Me thinks Nero had too much narcotics put into his lead drinking cups. But that's what you get when you have a man suddenly given almost unlimited resources and seen to by a large entourage of self-serving "helpers". For a good recent example, witness the complete and total howling insanity of Mi...

The nuttiest ancient monarch this side of Macolm McDowell's Caligula and Joaquin Phoenix's Commodus.

00:48 - You're fucked now Ra!

Stargate SG1 had more similarities than differences to this, the original 1994 motion picture, but built up its own backstory and had its own spin. Ditto for the 1990s Highlander live action and animated television spin-offs of the original 1986 motion picture.

The shields used by the later Han guards seem very Celto-Roman: adoption or convergent development?

@CommissarRed I agree with you that Ricky became more of dead hand as the franchise rolled on and Braga got tainted by the stigma, despite starting a more consistantly decent writer back in the glory days of TNG.

Rick Berman was OK to start with as well, but he should of retired from his role a...

NuWho seems to split opinion:

'It's faithful to the original series but adds interesting modern twists to it, winning over millions of new fans!' 'It's derivative fanfiction on steroids that bores most fans of the older series!'

'Doctor Who since '05 has never been so popular and successful in ...

"Threshold" had the decent concept of evolution not necessarily going in an "upward" direction (given the extreme external pressures, life on Earth may revert to a overall move primitive state) but it was plopped into a big mess of scripting/directing fail that was more suited to the worse of TOS...

Takaki Masao was Chung Park-hee's fake Japanese name when he served as a quisling in the Japanese armed forces in WWII.

This episode was campy but fun and moderately intelligent. S2 had teething problems but on hindsight was still significantly better than S1.

This new skyline of your fictional megacity (that's not been named and don't know what era its set in) looks more futuristic and ominous than previous locations. Good world building. I'm sad that I'm in the UK.

Oh, and one of my better recent stationary purchases is the Staedtler Mars Micro (0.5...

@AngelusDlion Yes and Mr. Lobe is voiced by another cult UK actor, David Warner (The Omen and Tron, etc).

The bloke looks like an anti-hero than a villain to me.

The best steampunk anime/manga out there is Howl's Moving Castle (slightly mediocre by Studio Ghibli standards; like Pixar's Cars), Steamboy (hugely underrated entry by the creator of Akira, Otomon) and the relatively recent Full Metal Alc...

Zuul mother fucker! Zuul!

How convoluted and pretentious. Nice animation in places though.

It's disconcerting that a disproportionate number of the deceased DW cast listed here died quite young by 21st century standards (with poor Liz Sladen being the latest and most infamous example).

Babylon 5 is getting a similar track record with a handful of its key cast members already dying fa...

This DS9 episode that throws light on the Cardassian's Nazi-esque invasion of Bajor will always stick in the mind as being very powerful. A lot of DS9's S1 was kinda blah, but "Duet" really knocked it right out the court.

09:19 Oh my God...

An Marine veteran has allegedly been shot square in the head with a tear gas canister in the current round of snowballing US rioting.

I had enough of this iconic tune with the Nostalgia Critic's Halloween themed reviews, but you don't theme tunes quite like this anymore.

I wonder if you could get round to reviewing the failed (but still silly fun) X-Files wannabe, Dark Skies?
