Steven Moffat, Doctor Who’s new showrunner, seems to be working overtime. Having written 75% of the season thusfar, each of his entries are solid, if not superlative. Two weeks from last Saturday, the Doctor’s past will meet with his future, thoroughly confusing his present companion. Confused? So was I, but in a good way. “The [...]
I love Doctor Who, but never have the time to write about it. I still have a few episodes of Torchwood’s first season I haven’t written up, pathetically enough.
