fun stuff from FlickFilosopher stats week of Feb 16-22 2013
Actual unretouched phrases that people plugged into search engines this week that led them to this site (with some commentary from me)…
Steven Moffat
the 19th-century painting that inspired blockbuster movie posters (and other adventures in social networking)
Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Doctor Who blogging: “The Snowmen”
This isn’t a story: it’s a wibbly-wobbly fuzzy-wuzzy ball of Doctor Who goo.
Doctor Who thing of the day: William Shatner as the Master?
If not Shatner, who would make a good Master? Besides Benedict Cumberbatch, obviously…
Doctor Who thing of the day: Fourth Doctor plushie
I fear that Steven Moffat is right at this very moment concocting an episode in which the our favorite Time Lord encounters anthropomorphic cute cuddly soft ponies (with razor-sharp teeth and a taste for blood)…
Doctor Who thing of the day: Is the new show too unfaithful to classic Doctor Who?
Michael Copestake at Shadowlocked laments the drama and the emotion that has been lost in the reboot of Doctor Who…
Doctor Who thing of the day: when the Doctor invades your office memos
Q: Why do you have a Christmas tree up so early? C. Time lords. It’s really rather complicated, but it was necessary to save Christmas from the Daleks. Also: don’t blink.
Doctor Who thing of the day: were Amy and Rory’s final stories out of chronological order?
The Doctor refers to Rory leaving his phone charger in Henry VIII’s en suite before we see them in Henry VIII’s bedroom. What the hell?
Doctor Who thing of the day: is the Doctor Amy and Rory’s child (spiritually, that is)?
Marcotte’s analysis is sharp, but I don’t know that her conclusion — that Moffat has rendered the Doctor into something akin to the Ponds’ child — is a positive portrayal of the character.
Doctor Who blogging: “The Angels Take Manhattan”
I’m really astonished at how little advantage Steven Moffat took of a fantastic opportunity to capture the Doctor in an amazing place like New York City…
