The Doctor: An Inspiration And Her First Test

Image
The new series of Doctor Who  premiered a few weeks ago and I'm soooooo ecstatic that it really turned out well. Jodie Whittaker's take on the Time Lord reminds me very much of Christopher Eccleston's and David Tennant's Doctors. The feel of the episodes and the stories are just like when I was introduced to the show, backtracking episodes, sometime in 2012. I also like the design of her TARDIS and also reminds me of the aforementioned Doctors. The opening sequence where their names appear is also awesome though it doesn't have the spinning TARDIS although I think I can see some Gallifreyan writing through the spinning swirls. Nothing much happened in her first two episodes, technically, as we were just getting introduced to the rest of the team - Ryan, Yaz, and Graham - and, of course, finding her TARDIS, her Ghost Monument. We were also introduced to Grace in the first episode. She was Ryan's nan/grandma. She was a caretaker and had a no-nonse...

Doctor Who Full Panel At San Diego Comic Con 2018

Thank you to the Doctor Who  YouTube channel for uploading the entirety of the panel. I love Jodie ever since St Trinian's  and I'm so ecstatic during the reveal that she is the new Doctor. Best of luck to Jodie and I'm so excited to watch your first episode!! Also, I love this part of the panel (I've taken the Uhs, Uhms, You Know, etc and paraphrased/shortcut the questions when I transcribed it): Question:  Any girl things for The Doctor? Jodie:  The thing about this role, which is why it's so amazing for any actor to play the role, is that essentially gender is irrelevant and that's completely liberating. As a woman, who isn't a genre, it's just a woman, I've never approached a role from thinking "How would a woman do this?" I've just done it from my perspective. But the wonderful thing about playing The Doctor is I'm playing an alien so all those rules are kind of irrelevant to the approach but what you do notice [is] sometimes w...

A Thank You Letter To MilMar

Image
From Stana' s Instagram Dear Andrew and Terri, I am writing this letter to say THANK YOU for giving us the show Castle . It has touched so many lives in the eight years of its existence. It certainly had a huge impact in mine even if I’m late watching it. THANK YOU for bringing us to the universe of Castle and Beckett. It’s a wonderful love story that will rival even the love stories of yore. I have never seen anything like it. It’s surreal yet real. It’s a fairy tale yet true. It’s fiction but it’s fact. It’s a very unique storytelling, one that will get you engaged all throughout their courtship, their friendship. Borrowing the words of Merida, their relationship became “ as much a part of us as we are of it .” THANK YOU for creating these characters that had us laugh, frustrated, annoyed, cry. Every week, these characters made us feel like we’re their friends. They made us feel like we’re part of the show, solving cases, running after suspec...

An Equation Won't Have A Solution If A Variable Is Missing

  I never imagined using this gif in this sense. As many now know, Stana Katic, who plays Captain Kate Beckett in the ABC’s police procedural Castle , won’t be returning if and when the show gets a ninth and, possibly, final season. I won’t go into details since it has been in several media outlets because I don’t want to tarnish anything this show and this character has done to me and Stana had already tweeted about it. See, I came to the fandom five years late. I was watching NERD HQ’s Doctor Who panel which was moderated by Nathan Fillion. I was drawn to his panel in turn and from that, I thought hm…why not watch Castle . So I did. First let me give you a background. There was this website, called GetGlue, which gave out free stickers of shows, books, movies, etc. ABC was a partner so Castle was included in their sticker roster . This was around 2011/12. You had to check-in to the show when it’s airing to get the sticker. I remember very well a Yahoo TV! sticker ...

Understanding Kate Beckett - A fan’s analysis on why Kate Beckett wants some distance from husband, Richard Castle

A/N: Originally published in three parts at Voice Of TV . Edited for clarity and correctness (called being a bit OC :) ). Castle ’s eighth season opened up with one half of our married, crime-solving duo, newly minted captain of the 12 th Precinct Kate Beckett and famous mystery novelist Richard Castle, missing. It started out as Rick looking for and worrying where his wife was. Turns out that Kate was being chased by several mercenaries connected to Bracken and some project (or someone) called LOCKSAT. It led to her decision to leave the loft and the happy life she’s living with her husband. It broke the hearts of millions of Caskett fans around the globe. The outcome of the second episode, the second part of the season opener, and story arc, is now much-debated in various platforms across the web. Others are calling it quits just because they only watched for the couple. Others are blaming the writers and new showrunners, Terence Paul Winter and Alexi Hawley, not really k...

Castle Season 8 Promo

Image
Finally! The new Castle promo is here! This has scenes from the upcoming season premiere. Okay, what the hell is that thingamajig that has Always written on it? It seems that Kate is on the run again and "leaves" Castle to keep him safe. Please, PLEASE, leave Kate alone. The girl is happy being married and all to the love of her life! lol I'm excited now! Two more Mondays and we get to see the season premiere! AAAAAAHHHHH!!! The first episode is called XY and the second is XX . A two-parter premiere like two seasons ago. The first is told in Rick's point of view and the second, Kate's. Yeah, that's what the titles are. Not Caskett babies. I wouldn't say no to little Caskett babies but let the TPTB put it in their story organically. Don't force it.
