“Doctor Who” Review: “Let’s Kill Hitler!”

August 28, 2011 – 10:35 am

I wasn’t going to write up thoughts on last night’s “Doctor Who,” since others I know have already done so quite ably. But there’s a hurricane/tropical storm bearing down on Boston as I type this. And rather than nash my hands together and wish for Brick Tamland to deliver the weather to me instead of […]

“Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan” talk “Doctor Who”

June 13, 2011 – 10:06 pm

Mo Ryan and I are back, this time with a single focus: the first half of Series 6 of “Doctor Who.” Don’t worry: it doesn’t get too spacey-wacey, promise. But it’s still almost an hour of geek-tastic discussion.
(Also, you can read my review of the mid-series finale, “A Good Man Goes to War,” here.)

“Doctor Who” Review: “A Good Man Goes to War”

June 12, 2011 – 11:22 am

Last night’s “Doctor Who” concluded the first half of the show’s sixth series (post-reboot), and it’s time to look at those episodes as a whole. The short conclusion? Too clever by half, but at times quite thrilling despite the ways in which Moffat and Company seem to delight in preventing either its characters or audience […]

“Doctor Who” Review: “Day of the Moon”

April 30, 2011 – 8:59 pm

If you’ve seen tonight’s episode of “Doctor Who,” you hopefully know why I decided to hold off offering my thoughts on last week’s premiere until now. In every conceivable way, the two are companion (pun intended) pieces. “Day of the Moon” functions as an hour-long answer to the questions posed in “The Impossible Astronaut,” even […]

Mo Ryan and I are back, with a nearly 90-minute installment this time. We previewed the season finale of “Archer,” welcomed back “Cougar Town,” talked “Treme,” delved into the role of critic in light of reactions to previews of “Game of Thrones”, and wrapped things up with a non-spoiler preview of the upcoming season of […]

“Doctor Who” Review: “A Christmas Carol”

December 26, 2010 – 12:06 pm

Charming. Utterly charming. There are a few thousand words I could write about this year’s “Doctor Who” Christmas special, “A Christmas Carol,” but writing about what works about a particular episode of this show is on some level an exercise in futility. Telling you about The Doctor, Kazran, and Abigail riding around the sky on […]

The Top 10 Television Shows of 2010: Part 2

December 8, 2010 – 7:27 pm

Yesterday, I started listing my Top 10 of 2010. Only, the thing is, I never actually got to the Top 10 itself. That’s the blogging equivalent of “Lost” calling its penultimate episode “What They Died For” without actually explaining what they died for in that hour. But hey, I love me some “Lost,” and if […]

‘Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan’ discuss ‘Mad Men’, ‘Rubicon,’ and more

August 16, 2010 – 11:53 pm

We’re back with not one but two installments of “Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan.” One is dedicated solely to the last two episodes of “Mad Men,” but the other is a treasure trove of talk about other shows.
In the other podcast, Mo Ryan and I talk “The Big C,” “Weeds,” “Rubicon,” “Doctor Who,” and […]
