| Voyage of the Damned - Aftermath Posted: 30 Dec 2007 07:29 AM CST Pity the Peth - poor Astrid (an excellent and very alluring Kylie Minogue) might have been atomised by an understrength transmat, but her spirit lives on, and perhaps one day she might even return. But what of the anagram? With fandom expecting the Astrid/TARDIS play to be significant - a move that would hardly have excluded the general public - Russell T Davies seemed more intent on giving the viewing public a big, brash rollercoaster of a ride in which the Earth itself was once again threatened. And yet... ever heard the phrase "less is more"? While the production values cannot be questioned, Voyage of the Damned left me feeling a little empty. With a template of stock Christmas special items to cram in (iconic Christmas symbolism gone bad, OTT master villain dispatched far too easily...) Davies might well have given us a set of touching characters (in particular Clive Swift's aging faux-Earth historian) and set events in place for Series 4 (Bernard Cribbins, no less, appears in the trailer) but there was little warmth, with Astrid's death being a little meaningless now that she's floating around the universe as particles. The Christmas Invasion might have been less ambitious, but it benefitted from a warm, family atmosphere that The Runaway Bride and Voyage of the Damned just couldn't achieve. And Christmas is a time for warmth and families. Still, 13.8 million viewers tuned in - Doctor Who's highest viewing figures since its return, and since 1979's City of Death... | ||

| Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 98 Posted: 29 Dec 2007 09:27 PM CST  Episode 98 of Doctor Who: Podshock is now available. "What's wrong with being childish? I like being childish." Note: We are in the process of catching up with getting our podcasts through post-production and out on the feeds. To do this in a timely manner, some sacrifices in our usual production methods had to be made. | ||
| Posted: 29 Dec 2007 07:15 PM CST I was debating whether or not to include content that I wrote before 2007 that still was amongst the most popular -- but I figured I might as well, because that shows what has been most interesting. And sometimes that might be something from an earlier year, especially some of the ones that had major elements. So we have:

| Wil Wheaton Discovers Doctor Who Posted: 29 Dec 2007 05:50 PM CST He had the good sense to pick Genesis of the Daleks -- which is, of course, as good as Doctor Who ever gets. It is kind of interesting to look at the comparisons between Star Trek and Doctor Who, especially in this country, where Doctor Who was originally popular in the period right before Next Generation started, and I've often felt that it wasn't a coincidence that Doctor Who went into decline in this country as Next Generation started up and became more popular. And I think there is some comparison between Voyager and Enterprise and the Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy eras -- especially when you think about how one of the issues in both was how you had a production staff that were trapped in roles for longer than they should be, and how they sort of continued on autopilot for a while. I'll be interested to see how Wil reacts to any episodes with Adric, Doctor Who's very own boy genius... | ||
