Doctor Who honcho and god-in-charge Steven Moffat talks to Digital Spy, wherein he is mean and horrible and tries to make us all feel really really bad about the Doctor and life and the universe and everything. Choice excerpts (which may include spoilers for those not caught up to “The Pandorica Opens”): Episode twelve ended … more…
A cave painting in Utah dating from around 5000 BC appears to depict the TARDIS, which is pretty cool. Of course the Doctor would have visited the native peoples of ancient Utah for a nice relaxing sedentary hunter-gatherer vacation. The British newspaper The Sun, via which I discovered this image, reliably tries to turn this … more…
BBC News reveals the real reason Christopher Eccleston left Doctor Who, and it wasn’t because he was afraid of being typecast: Actor Christopher Eccleston quit Doctor Who after one series because he “didn’t enjoy the environment and the culture” of the show. Eccleston, who is about to star in BBC Four biopic Lennon Naked, took … more…
Okay, not the actual actual TARDIS, since that’s fictional, silly geek. But the actual prop they used while shooting the Christopher Eccleston episodes. It goes up for auction at Bonhams in London the day after tomorrow: Wednesday, June 23. From Bonhams’ catalogue: Lot No: 142W Doctor Who: Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor A complete … more…
Made of spoilers. Don’t read until you’ve seen the episode.
…and it must be the Doctor himself inside, mustn’t it? Surely he is “the most feared being in all of the cosmos” — isn’t he? Though I still suspect that this “box, cage, prison” of the Pandorica — the “fairy tale” — is just a metaphorical one, and the opening of the Pandorica is really … more…
British online newspaper The Daily Dust (which is now my favorite online news source, because it is recommended that one consumes it “with a nice hot cup of tea and a chocolate Hob-Nob”) notes that NASA has discovered an absolutely for-real crack in the universe… …or at least the “core of a thick, sooty cloud … more…
There’s so much cool Doctor Who stuff in the universe, and I suspect we’re going to be starving for new Doctor Who stuff to talk about in two weeks, when the current series wraps up (well, except for my classic Doctor Who blogging and whatever other goodies I may be cooking up), that I think … more…
And my mind is a little bit blown. I don’t think Ashes to Ashes, at least this first batch, is quite as absolutely brilliant genius as proper Life on Mars (we don’t talk about the American abomination here, at least not any more), but it’s close. I’ve had a lot to say about Life on … more…
Today’s question comes from reader Hank, who thinks it’s time to talk about Amy Pond some more, not within the context of this season’s Doctor Who stories (links to my blogging of all of which so far can be found here) but just in general, as a character and as a companion for the Doctor. … more…
