The Doctor and the Daleks are sort of like Batman and the Joker. They've been fighting each other so long, they practically define each other. And tonight's Doctor Who season opener made a strong case that the Doctor's relationship with the Daleks has gotten unhealthy, on both sides. Can counseling help?
This Is How We'll Remember Tennant And Davies
The Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who just ended, but his influence on the show will remain forever. And judging from "The End Of Time Part 2," that's not a bad thing at all. Allons-y for spoilers!
Doctor Who Gives You Some New Stuff To Paint On Your Bong
The 1950s Doctor Who animated story "Dreamland" pulled out all the 50s-cliche stops: head-shop aliens, Cold War hysteria, Area 51, and rockabilly Native Americans. Especially this great sequence, showing a stoner-inspired space war. Spoilers below.
At Last, Doctor Who's Lonely God Goes Too Far
When Russell T. Davies' revamp of Doctor Who launched in 2005, we were promised that the Doctor's two hearts meant his heart could be broken twice as often. With last night's "Waters Of Mars," we finally see what that meant.
Doctor Who's Easter Hit Parade
Doctor Who's "Easter special" was surprisingly un-Easter-y, compared to all the Christmas specials. But it did serve as a showcase of Russell T. Davies' writing at its best... and at its weakest. Spoilers ahoy!

Doctor Who's Midlife Metacrisis
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…
Doctor Who's Russell T. Davies Is The Gay Michael Bay
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…
Doctor Who's Year (And A Half) Of Hell
I'm a total sucker for the alternate universe, everything goes Sprang! kind of story. I was addicted to Marvel's What If comics, even the ones with the nonsense titles like What If Civil War?. (What indeed?) So I was pretty much the target audience for the latest Doctor Who episode, and it still exceeded my…
Best Doctor Who Episode Of The Year
It's hard not to draw some kind of conclusion from the fact that last Saturday's episode of time-traveling action-comedy Doctor Who was obviously made for 50 pence and a Frobisher and Gleason raspberry flavored ice lolly.
