He's wanted for his TARDIS, the will and for murder.

Why has Chris lost his mind? What has Romana planned? Who is Susan?

#nuWhoThru The Name of the Doctor
Season finale.... so of course it's River Song and paradoxes, because it always is. Remember how everyone absolutely knew that the Doctor died at Lake Silencio? Well seemingly now people know that he actually dies on Trenzalore. Somehow. Looks like series 6 was

Wow, Hex actually gets things to do. Well, when he turns up in episdoe 3 that is. They're REALLY not doing much to promote the character and give us strong material for him. Okay, the episode three thing is down to the way the story is structured but I really do want more

Oh lawd, it's Name, Day and Night of the Doctor next on the #nuWhoThru.... I will not be being complimentary, be warned.

#nuWhoThru The Crimson Horror
Diana Rigg eats up every scene and acts everyone else of the screen. Strax is a bit toooo comic relief but Jenny and Lizard tits work well. Smith not being in it for the first third also works in its favour (I really do not like the cupboard scene though when he does

#nuWhoThru Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
It's a paradox story... oh yay. It's got one of the most inept plot "twists" ever, it's just a steaming pile of dung. The corridor scenes look less TARDIS-interior like than in even Invasion of Time, the acting is terrible, the monsters look like

Smith is intensely irritating at the start when he's trying to be zany over the toggle switches etc but thankfully he actually settles down a lot after that bit. I'd say that the middle 80% is damn amazing, small cast, gorgeous visuals, decent dialogue, very atmospheric. Yes, it's

Getting very irritated by a certain person on the season 13 #DoctorWho Behind the Sofa features... REALLY wish they'd keep their mouth shut and let the others talk instead.

#nuWhoThru Cold War
Where's the line between "science fiction" and "this is just really badly thought through" because I'm pretty sure this story sees the line as a distant speck in the rear view mirror. Just as the original "Ice Warriors" gets science totally arse over tit with plants, Cold War

#nuWhoThru The Rings of Akhattan
95% dull as anything, 5% catastrophically awful.
It's yet another "everything is saved by the power of love" (I was convinced that Clara was going to to lead them all into a singalong) ending, with that whole trope of "The Doctor knows all about certain things

Suffers from spending too much time doing too little other than establishing the Doctor as someone who doesn't mind stalking someone and modern Clara as.... yeah, depressingly similar to Amy just marginally less irritating (smug hasn't kicked in yet). The Great

Just watched a #Haven christmas special which, out of the four scifi series that I've seen do the "people disappearing and being forgotten" plot line, basically did it to absolute perfection in 45 minutes and even managed a song. True bliss.

#nuWhoThru The Snowmen

Ah, the episode with the good version of Clara and the offensively bad version of "The Great Intelligence". If it IS supposed to be 'The' Great Intelligence (as upcoming episodes try and suggest) then christ knows what's up with its timeline as it's nothing like the one

#DoctorWho and there's probably a very dull reason but the BBFC seem to have classified an extended version of Rose back in the day?

Posting this now whilst I remember, rather than in a few days when I cover it in #nuWhoThru but, in Rings Of Akhaten, Smith really doesn't have good enough diction to deliver the words "eat our souls" without it sounding very wrong indeed.
