Monday, May 25, 2015. It Was All Going So Well - Planet of the Daleks. I think Ive figured out why Frontier in Space. Was included in the list of recommendations I built this whole enterprise out of.

Monday, September 29, 2014. Taking care of Who? Lets face it, the stop motion model of an alien killer robot is window dressing to whats really going in this episode, as the Danny/Doctor problems for Clara come to a head. Finally the two men in her life come crashing together and she has to deal with how unalike they are. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Doctor's Seven. I mean Four – Time Heist.

Saturday, July 18, 2015. Putting the Crew Together - The Keeper of Traken. Being that he was hard done by early in this run, I decided to address one of Tom Baker’s big moments. The big moment every Doctor has. His regeneration. From what I understand Baker’s end and Davison’s beginning is actually a trilogy starting with The Keeper of Traken. However, The Keeper of Traken. Monday, July 06, 2015. Hello Charley, Goodbye Charley - Blue Forgotten Planet. On the one hand I was sort of amazed that Paper Cuts.

I Gave You My Heart - Last Christmas. There were two big questions going into 2014s Christmas special. Was it going to be the farewell for Clara, and is Santa real? 8220;Last Christmas” also happens to be one of the better Christmas specials. Monday, December 22, 2014.

Monday, March 30, 2015. The Penis Shaped Alien isn't the Monster? So after two seasons of Earth/UNIT based stories, were just giving up on them? Not that I mind, but I expected some decent to address it. At least Day of the Daleks excused its time travel with it being Dalek technology. Here we just have the Doctor announcing the TARDIS is repaired. It seems a little anti-climatic. Saturday, March 28, 2015. The Story of an Empire - the Drashani Empire trilogy. Monday, March 23, 2015. The plot makes a nice...

NightJim: Geek and Proud: Daleks and Krotons - Two Big Finish outings
http://nightjim.blogspot.com/2015/06/daleks-and-krotons-two-big-finish.html
Monday, June 08, 2015. Daleks and Krotons - Two Big Finish outings. It's another duo as we press on with Six and Charley, and hope that somewhere we'll address the elephant that is Charley's time with the Eighth Doctor. We deal with two Classic enemies, the ever present Daleks, and the only seen once Krotons. It's an interesting pair. Brotherhood of the Daleks. This serial is basically a play on the same idea as Scaredy Cat. Return of the Krotons. Am I glad that I decided to throw in The Krotons. In her ...

Monday, October 27, 2014. Straight out of child's book - In the Forest of the Night. Theres been a lot of talk this season of Doctor Who maybe starting to not be for kids any more. Mostly because of its later time slot. Its the sort of topic Id avoid, it not really fitting into the whole narrative approach Im interested in, except In the Forest of the Night shuts all those critics up. Besides Who’s reputation has always been scaring the bejesus out of kids and them watching behind a sofa. The use of a ja...

Monday, November 24, 2014. The Sixth Doctor, The Redeemer? Feeling a little bit let down by the Cyberman trilogy, and neither series really satisfying my itch to get Doctor Who outside of the Pertwee/UNIT trappings, I decided to listen to another audio play. Rather than turn to the Companion Chronicles, I dived back into the main range, but with a carefully selected and targeted approach. Monday, November 17, 2014. Return to Audio - Cyberman 2? Now its time to return to Classic Who, and Im taking the opp...
