The BBC recently put out a DVD box-set of its time-travel show Doctor Who, focusing on the mad genius Davros, who created the mad-killing-machine Daleks. That means that every single Davros story is now out on DVD, including the painful "Destiny of the Daleks." And eep, there are a lot of them. Really, Davros only had one good story, and then he turned into the Daleks' excess baggage. Davros-bashing, with absolutely no spoilers, ahead. More »

Wow. I haven't been so eager for a Doctor Who episode as I was for last night's finale since the time-traveling soap-comedy relaunched. And... well, it was a mixture of pure silly fun and overwrought fan-service. Not quite as fun as Jesus-Doctor last year, and much, much too long. I found myself wishing the Sci Fi Channel would cut 20 minutes out of it after all. Only one question remains unanswered: what part of this episode was supposed to have us bawling like babies? Spoilers and snark ahead. More »

After watching last night's Doctor Who episode, I wished for the first time ever that Russell T. Davies would stay on to produce a fifth season of the BBC's time-traveling adventure show. Not because I think a fifth RTD season would be good, but because I'm dying to see how he could come up with a zanier and more wanktastic final two-parter. Since each finale has to top the last, I'm guessing next year would involve a magic virus that turns everyone in the universe into a Sontaran, including Rose, and then the Cybermen from 29 different universes fight with the Gelth, with exploding ribbons! Spoilers for what actually did happen ahead. More »

Whole universes could crumble in season four of Doctor Who, just to bring back an iconic character from the show's distant past. At least, that's what one one poster on the Doctor Who Forum claims, based on information from a friend of a friend. (At least he feels embarrassed enough about that to add "yes I know!!" afterwards.) Some massive (and confirmed) spoilers, and some wild speculation, after the jump. More »

The BBC is being tight-lipped about why two Doctor Who special edition DVDs, "Remembrance of the Daleks" and "The Complete Davros Collection," won't see a U.S. release. Earlier clearance issues with certain Beatles songs in the original shows were supposedly cleared up, but if you've been waiting on these for your shelves, you'll have to wait longer. More »
