Re: Rate / Review "The Big Bang"
I usually wait until I've seen an episode 2 or 3 times before rating, but I have to go photograph a wedding now and won't see it again until tonight. (Bit exciting - never photographed a wedding and I'm not very ( Read more... ) -
My Comments on the DWM 2010 Season Survey
I've just emailed my Doctor Who Magazine Season Survey, filled out in plenty of time now that I'm a subscriber. (The time lag for DWM to reach U.S. bookstores is pretty horrendous and getting worse!)
Does the body of an email count as "comments on a separate sheet of paper"? Here are mine:

NuWho Review Redux: The Big Bang
And so we come to the end of the season...
Re: Rate / Review "The Big Bang"
Okay. Okay. I'm back from a real life wedding, very exciting, my first-ever gig taking pictures for money. Although I wasn't qualified to be a wedding photographer, I did my best. Now I've come home to a very different wedding, also very exciting!

NuWho review Redux: The Pandorica Opens
Re: Rate / Review "The Pandorica Opens"
I've just read 20 pages of the GB rate thread, and am about to watch the ep for the third time (excluding the bits I rewatched while wading through the posts). I have not rated the ep yet, and may not do so until next weekend. That, for me, would be unprecedented. I always rate an episode ( Read more... ) -
NuWho Review Redux: The Lodger
Re: Rate / Review "The Lodger"
9 out of 10 for me. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of that. Well, except for the air kisses. Someone should have told the Doctor that only actors do that. Which of course MS is, but let's not get too meta here. The placement of this story in the season is pretty much perfect - from caverns full ( Read more... ) -
NuWho Review Redux: Vincent and the Doctor
Re: Rate / Review "Vincent and the Doctor"
I feel churlish giving this "only" a 9. I absolutely loved it, and was on the edge of tears at the end.
Unusually for me, I don't have much to say about this one yet, even after having watched it three times. The portrayal of Vincent was utterly wonderful, so vulnerable and mercurial ( Read more... ) -
NuWho Review Redux: Cold Blood
8/10 from me, not because there's anything wrong with it (I gave last week's a 9, when in retrospect it should have been an 8), but because this is quite a bit darker than I like my Doctor Who. This is Torchwood territory, and I don't mean that in a good way. This is like when Torchwood gets too dark for me, as in Chris Chibnall's Countrycide, ( Read more... )
