    Review Modern Who Companions

    Rory was the man. I wasn't sure about him in his introduction, simply because he seemed to be a filler character. I think I was sold about the same time Gavin was, with him telling the Doctor what was up. He really cemented my love for him when he punched The Doctor in The Pandorica Opens, and...

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I love Donna as a companion. I gave a long speech about it in the Donna Noble post, but I really liked the dynamic between her and 10. There's also the scene in The End of Time when he refers to her as his best friend, which has always tugged at my heartstrings (either that, or it's recurring...

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I pretty much enjoy this entire series. And as much as the lack of permanent deaths angers me, I still well up when Rory shows back up in the finale. I even like the Deus ex Machina of the second Big Bang. It's also nice that River gets more depth to her as the series goes along.

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I like Missy, just like I liked Simm's take on the role. My issue is that the character is written to be batshit crazy instead of menacing. Delgado had evil dripping from every pour. Ainley was great in the role, but even then, he was being written inconsistently, one episode being very subdued...

    Review The Troughton Doctor

    I think I was a little older when I finally saw more of his episodes, so by then I really liked his take on the character. The most I had really seen had been in The Five Doctors. I love how he plays the clown, but underneath that is still the Time Lord we know and love, who will stand up to any...

    Fun The Joke Thread

    When dad told this one to me, the punchline was "Cute, but can it pick up peanuts?" I like your's very much, though.

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    I do love me some fried okra. Never had the chance to try balut, It sounds like a big pile of nasty, but I'm certain I could be coerced into trying it. Nuoc Mam, though, sounds delicious, even though smell has much to do with me trying anything. However, I do enjoy Kimchi.

    Review Modern Who Companions

    When I first watched The Runaway Bride, I hated Donna as a character. Subsequent viewings softened me on her, but she was so abrasive, I was glad she was a one and done. Then they announced that she was coming on full-time, and I had my reservations. But right from the get go, we see a different...

    Review The TENNANT Doctor

    I do really love this one, however, I am willing to admit it mostly works on a nostalgia level. It's quite obvious that Peter and David have great chemistry together, and you have that wonderful speech from 10 about how 5 was his Doctor. It's so heartfelt, and honestly as much a love letter from...

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    I don't know that I've ever eaten beets as a dish, but my grandma used to make the absolute best pickled beets. I could sit and eat a jar of those in one sitting. One of those things I've missed since she's passed.

    Information Flynn seeks immunity for testimony.

    Orange cheeto monster vs. eight legged spawn of hell...might as well drop me off in the Neutral Zone with a sandwich board that says "I hate Romulans" with choices like that. Suddenly I feel better about my life. And I'll quit waiting for my letter from Hogwarts. All I found was oil dripping...

    Information Flynn seeks immunity for testimony.

    As if I weren't terrified of the continent of Australia. I find my self suddenly incontinent. Wait..what are you trying to say? Are you telling me the things I see onscreen aren't real? Suddenly I'm questioning everything in my life. I need some time alone. Where's my Vegemite?

    Review The Matt Smith Doctor

    I wasn't sold when I first saw him in photos. He didn't fit what I thought The Doctor should be. As soon as he had his first scene with Amelia, I was in. He was so good in that first scene.

    Information Flynn seeks immunity for testimony.

    I'm begging at this point. Can any of you take in a refugee family from the US? I'd ask ant-mac, but I don't know that my arachnophobia would allow me to live in Australia. Yup. And I've met so many people who still believe that it works, even when it's been proven not to. This is the county I...
