The season finale began in this week’s Doctor Who, and if part two next week can keep up with “Dark Water’s” spectacular setup, then we are in for a big finish. More

Oct 28, 2014 By Cody Ray Shafer

For the most part, this whole season of Doctor Who has been marked by high points. After several weeks of episodes that so successfully raised the bar, I was unfairly critical of last week’s “Flatline,” which was actually quite good. I’m afraid of falling into the same trap with “In the Forest of the Night,” and that by comparing it to good chunk of excellent episodes that preceded it I might be judging it too harshly. But I don’t think that’s the case. More

Oct 13, 2014 By Cody Ray Shafer

Lately I’ve been celebrating the fact that Doctor Who has been successfully pushing itself forward by pulling the science fiction stuff back a bit to reveal a captivating character drama, but this week’s episode succeeds by delivering one of the most quintessential Doctor Who episodes this season. More

Oct 07, 2014 By Cody Ray Shafer

Last week Doctor Who showed us how to build a story on emotional tension between three central characters. It worked, and together with another standout episode this season, “Listen,” established The Doctor’s relationship with Clara as a fully realized, developing drama. “Kill the Moon” moves that story further along with its most impactful scene yet, but unlike “Listen” and “The Caretaker,” it was nearly dragged down in an otherwise unstable episode.

Sep 30, 2014 By Cody Ray Shafer

Peter Capaldi’s turn in the TARDIS is giving us one of the most consistently good seasons of Doctor Who since Matt Smith’s first year. And, just as Smith’s adventures with the Ponds framed the emotional arch of season five, Clara Oswald’s courtship with ex-soldier Danny Pink provides a grounded narrative for The Doctor’s outlandish attributes to work with. More

Sep 22, 2014 By Cody Ray Shafer

One of the remarkable things about a series like Doctor Who is the potential for versatility in storytelling. It explains the show’s enduring appeal, that every week can bring a new adventure in any setting imaginable, on any world, past present or future. Yet for some reason, the last year or two have been uncharacteristically underwhelming. Now, five episodes into the new season, and the adventures are exciting again, and in this week’s case, considerably more creative. More

Sep 15, 2014 By Cody Ray Shafer

After the last couple of earnest but ultimately mediocre episodes, Doctor Who returned this week with one of its most compelling stories in recent memory. “Listen” was again written by Stephen Moffat, and carries his signature throughout, but it also takes major steps in establishing the new rules for this Doctor, something we’ve been looking for since the premiere a few weeks back. More

Sep 09, 2014 By Cody Ray Shafer

We’re three episodes into the new season of Doctor Who, and subsequently three episodes into the time-traveler’s latest incarnation. Peter Capaldi’s cynical and cantankerous version of the BBC’s 50-year-old hero may be a more serious take, especially compared to Matt Smith’s fantastically aloof Eleventh Doctor, but the episodes so far show no sign of easing up on the rampant silliness, for better or worse.

“Don’t drink the water, don’t even touch it, not one drop” warns one character in The Waters of Mars, which returns Doctor Who to form after the last two good, but not great, special episodes (The Next Doctor and Planet of the Dead). The welcome dark tone is driven by a moral dilemma faced by The Doctor, one specific to time travelers. It’s rare to find The Doctor so indecisive, so reluctant to step in, and David Tennant plays the character with the complexity and gusto we’ve come to expect since he took over the mantle of the long-running and iconic character in 2005. This is the last of three episodes to star Tennant as The Doctor before Matt Smith takes over the part next year and The Waters of Mars reminds viewers why he’s a fan-favorite and how much he’ll be missed.
