A comparison of "Father's Day" and "The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith" I am currently forcing my husband to watch The Sarah Jane Adventures--okay, I'm not forcing him, I promise he wanted to! The Sarah Jane Adventures, or SJA, is a spin-off series of Doctor Who that follows former companion Sarah Jane Smith who has … Continue reading Same Software, Different Case

Gallifrey: Time War 4 – The End of an Era
Today marks one week since the highly anticipated Gallifrey: Time War 4 boxset was released. How are your emotions? Mine still haven’t recovered. If you've read my overall review of Gallifrey (which is basically just me gushing about how amazing it is), then you'll know how much I love it. Some friends got me into … Continue reading Gallifrey: Time War 4 – The End of an Era
I’ve fallen into the black hole that is Gallifrey, and here’s why you should too.
Yeah, yeah, okay, we all know I love Doctor Who. Big surprise. But one of my favourite parts of the fandom that I've especially been falling in love with over the past few years is Big Finish. I could write a whole post just about Big Finish Productions, but for the sake of time I'll … Continue reading I’ve fallen into the black hole that is Gallifrey, and here’s why you should too.

My Favourite Doctor Who Speech
Today there was a worldwide rewatch of one of my favourite Doctor Who stories, The Zygon Invasion/Inversion. Though I wasn't able to participate due to the workload I currently have, it made me think about the first time I watched these episodes when they aired. Up until that point I had really liked the Twelfth … Continue reading My Favourite Doctor Who Speech
The War Doctor: Infernal Devices

Now that they've already introduced us to this series, Big Finish isn't afraid to go a little deeper and a little darker in the second installment. Once again, this review will only contain minor … Continue reading The War Doctor: Infernal Devices
Second Chances: A Doctor Who Short Story
During this time we're all staying at home, an awesome company called Fantom--which normally hosts lots of Doctor Who conventions and events in the UK throughout the year--decided to start having virtual Doctor Who conventions! They've been really fun and interactive, including quizzes, live interviews, and competitions. Recently, they held a short story competition for … Continue reading Second Chances: A Doctor Who Short Story
Review: Only the Monstrous
The War Doctor: a rather ambiguous character in the Doctor Who universe for most. While he produced an overwhelmingly positive reaction when he appeared in The Day of the Doctor, many fans saw him in that single episode and didn’t think anything else of him. Luckily, Big Finish wanted to know more. When the War … Continue reading Review: Only the Monstrous
My Peter Capaldi Experience
It’s not a secret that Doctor Who is my favourite show—but within that show is one of my favourite characters of all time, the Twelfth Doctor. He’s played by Scottish actor Peter Capaldi, and after watching countless interviews and behind the scenes footage I fell in love with the man behind the Doctor, too! Today … Continue reading My Peter Capaldi Experience
“Tyger Tyger, burning bright…”
Not too long ago as my boyfriend and I were watching the Doctor Who episode “In the Forest of the Night” (him for the first time and me for the...10th time?), I was explaining to him that the episode title comes from the William Blake poem “The Tyger.” “Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests … Continue reading “Tyger Tyger, burning bright…”
