FACE THE RAVEN: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE NERDY

One fan’s heartache is another’s drunken after-party. That is how I choose to view Face The Raven. Surprisingly enough, Clara’s demise last week has had the unusual effect of satisfying both ends of the spectrum of her fanbase. Loyal Clara lovers wept as the impossible girl came in on a leaf and left with a raven in a gut wrenching scene, while Clara doubters, dislikers and angry villagers also managed to enjoy the episode by way of the particular method in which she left the series. Or rather the events that led up to it.

REVIEW - UNIT: EXTINCTION

It’s well documented that I am not UNIT’s biggest fan. Before The Zygon two-parter, I was no fan of Osgood and even after it, while I grew to like her because of her character development, Kate and the rest of UNIT still put me on the fence given how incompetent the latter is. If I had to select a Big Finish title I was looking forward to least, it would be UNIT: Extinction. I went in with rather low expectations. I came out of it a changed man!

REVIEW - BLOODTIDE

The Sixth Doctor and Evelyn meet Charles Darwin on the Galapagos Islands where an awakening group of Silurians have horrifying plans for mankind.

SLEEP NO MORE - THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE NERDY

Sleep No More appears to be Series 9’s version of In The Forest of The Night. It initially stood out as exemplary for a number of reasons, though it also faltered because of a number of other reasons, often elements needed to create the former. While not a flame war starter, it is still pretty decisive amongst fans. Let’s look at both sides by dissecting the exciting bits, the sleep bits and the goosebumpy parts in-between.

REVIEW - TORCHWOOD: FORGOTTEN LIVES

For the first time this series, as opposed to stepping back in time, Torchwood instead fastforwards by visiting Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams five years after Miracle Day. Jack is missing, the Committee are at it again and why exactly is someone who isn’t John Barrowman claiming to be Captain Jack Harkness?

REVIEW – THE EYE OF THE SCORPION

The Doctor and Peri land in egypt. Expect to find sand in places you didn't even know you had!

WHAT I EXPECT FROM THE WAR DOCTOR ADVENTURES

 

Here's my wishlist for Big Finish and Sir John Hurt! 

FIRST IMPRESSIONS - ATTACK ON TITAN: JUNIOR HIGH

Attack on Titan + Junior High + Slice of Life = Hilarity!

THE ZYGON INVERSION - THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE NERDY

HAVE WE ALREADY SEEN A FEMALE DOCTOR?

Don’t worry, it’s not what you think.

REVIEW – JAGO & LITEFOOT & STRAX

Among the numerous Doctor Who spin-offs Big Finish produces, I can honestly declare that the Jago & Litefoot range rank at number one when it comes to this author’s favorites list. But what happens when New Who invades and throws a funny Sontaran into the mix? Hilarity of course!

REVIEW - THE SIRENS OF TIME

Where it all begins...again

FIRST IMPRESSIONS – BEYOND THE BOUNDARY

I took a peek at the dub for Sentai Filmworks’ new release and here's what I thought of it...
