OK continuing on from our previous recap of Arrow (Episodes 1&2, Episodes 3-5) let’s jump into the recap and review of the next batch. Legacies If you recall from the…
The Weeping Angels farm New York for time energy, Rory finds himself dying of old age in a room upstairs, and the Ponds get the ending they choose together.
A billion small black cubes arrive on Earth and do nothing for a year, in an episode that is wonderful about ordinary life and hopeless about its own monster.
My Resident Evil Retribution review: good action and some favourite faces back, but nothing much happens and Alice as a mom didn’t work. 2.5 to 3 out of 5.
A war criminal is hiding in a frontier town, a cyborg is waiting outside the line, and the Doctor very nearly throws a man to his death over it.
A Silurian ark full of dinosaurs is heading for Earth, Rory’s dad ends up aboard with a trowel, and the Doctor does something genuinely cold to a trader.
The Daleks kidnap the Doctor to save them, and a girl making souffles in a crashed ship turns out to be the most upsetting reveal the show has done in years.
The Amazing Spider-Man reboots Peter Parker five years after Raimi. Andrew Garfield’s take, mechanical web-shooters, and a Lizard that never quite lands.
A fresh Avengers 2012 review: the shared-universe gamble nobody thought could work just delivered the best time at the movies all year.
Bah Humbug It’s extremely sad when a dream is shattered and left on the ground in pieces. Unfortunately that is exactly what happened with this years Christmas edition of Doctor…
One great thing I’ve noticed in the first season of this show is that the writers seem to have mapped out the whole series in advance and while they’ve made…
River refuses to kill the Doctor and time collapses into a single afternoon, in a finale with superb imagery, a beautiful tribute, and an escape hatch.
The Doctor spends his last free days babysitting with Craig Owens, in a warm, funny episode with a farewell running under every scene and a lazy resolution.
A hotel with a room for everyone’s worst fear turns out to be feeding on something else entirely, and the Doctor has to break Amy’s faith in him to save her.
Amy is stranded in a faster time stream and survives alone for thirty-six years, and Rory is made to choose which version of his wife gets to live.
Night Terrors answers a child’s cry for help and finds a cupboard full of monsters, in a small, warm horror story about a father learning what his son is.
Let’s Kill Hitler shoves Hitler in a cupboard, regenerates Amy’s childhood friend into River Song, and explains why she can’t regenerate in the library.
A Good Man Goes to War has the Doctor take an asteroid without firing a shot, lose anyway, and learn who River Song is. The reveal lands perfectly.
The Almost People gives the Doctor a duplicate of himself, asks whether a copy is a person, and ends on the most brutal cliffhanger of the Matt Smith era.
After the amazing, outstanding and superlative previous episode of Doctor Who – The Doctors Wife – it would be very difficult for anything that followed to measure up. Thankfully, The…
The Doctor’s Wife puts the TARDIS in a woman’s body and lets her talk back, and the show finally tells the love story it has been telling since 1963.
