The Doctor Conundrum – Who’s Who?

Has there ever been a character with a backstory as tangled and impervious to navigation as the Doctor?  Thirteen official faces with numbers that don’t match, events that happen in the wrong order or may indeed never come to pass, alternate timelines, alternate timelines within those alternate timelines…it’s confusing, convoluted, and at times can get somewhat […]

Review: Doctor Who S8, Episode 4: "Listen"

It's always an anticipated episode when Doctor Who does scary. While remarkably little about this episode came out in the run-up to it, the trailers certainly promised a great deal of chills and shivers
