Doctor Who

It Goes Ding When There's Stuff

Neil Gaiman Discusses His Contribution To Doctor Who’s TARDIS & Its Dislike Of Clara

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:44 pm, May 9th, 2013

BBC America invited The Mary Sue on a very special press conference call with Neil Gaiman in advance of his Doctor Who episode this weekend. “Nightmare in Silver” is the prolific author’s return to the show as well as the return of the Cybermen. While we were thrilled to hear him speak about his new ideas and the experience writing the episode (it’s a fun one!), we were very curious to know what his thoughts were on Clara’s seemingly troubled relationship with the TARDIS.

Matt Smith Discusses The Intricacy Of Tea, Calls The Doctor “Doctor Who” [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 9:33 am, May 9th, 2013

Well at least we now know it’s not only Americans who slip up and call The Doctor “Doctor Who.” To be fair, Victoria Wood started it, Matt Smith was only trying to be polite. Of course The Doctor was referred to as “Dr. Who” when Peter Cushing played him but if the top comment on the YouTube page is any indication, fans still take the issue very seriously. Anyway, good morning! Have a cup of tea and watch this video.

“Doctor Who” Stars In a Cooking Commercial, Calls Himself a Thyme Lord [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:45 pm, May 8th, 2013

That is some scarily accurate cosplay, courtesy of “Matt Smith lookalike Matt Elliot.” I was almost too busy staring at his Smith-ian eyebrows to fully register the pun “Adventures in Time and Spice.”

But not “Thyme Lord.” Oh no. That pun registered. Tell me, Thyme Lord, does the microwave go ding when there’s stuff?

The 40th annual daytime Emmy Awards nominations were were recently announced and while “daytime Emmy” may bring to mind soap operas and talk shows, the awards also celebrate animation and children’s shows.

Wait. That’s not why you refrain from blinking in the Who fandom, is it? Whoever the people were who received and painted this henna ink, may the Silence never find you.

Doctor Who Recap: “The Crimson Horror”

by Susana Polo | 12:32 pm, May 6th, 2013

It says a lot of things, none of them good, when, after a good twenty minutes of episode without the Doctor, I get vaguely disappointed that he’s finally shown up and now the episode is going to revolve around him. Well, I suppose it does say very good things about the trifecta of two lesbian detectives (one of them a lizard) and a Sontaran warrior with some memory problems. The Crimson Horror is a good solid episode of Doctor Who with a classically mad villain with a plot to destroy the world, an intimate betrayal, and the third act reveal of a squicky monster. Let’s begin.

C2E2 Cosplay & More!

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, May 3rd, 2013

Two years ago I attended my first Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2 for short). I wasn’t able to make it last year but made a triumphant return last weekend. I sat on the Comix Chix panel (~~to be posted and linked shortly~~), picked up some great art, and saw and participated in some fun cosplay. Take a look at our photo diary of the event.

Steven Moffat Explains Doctor Who‘s Statue of Liberty Plot Hole, Just Makes Things More Confusing

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, May 2nd, 2013

In the aftermath of season seven’s “The Angels Take Manhattan” Doctor Who fans the world over could be heard crying unto the heavens: “If the Statue of Liberty is a Weeping Angel, how did it manage to get all the way across Manhattan? There are people looking at it literally all the time.”

Welp, Steven Moffat has an answer for you. It causes more questions than it answers, but I’ve come to expect nothing less from him.

Doctor Who Gets Torchwood, Sarah Jane Alumn as Executive Producer

by Susana Polo | 4:15 pm, April 30th, 2013

You know, it’s rather tricky to find a picture or screen shot of Sarah Jane and an agent of Torchwood together. I suppose there was really only one or two episodes where that could have happened, but still. Get those screenshots up on Google image search, people!

Brian Minchin has been named Doctor Who‘s new executive producer, following the departure of Caroline Skinner from the position.

You’ll Believe the TARDIS Control Panel is Actually an Electric Jellyfish

Thank you, Kirsty Delwig, for showing us the beautiful truth about the TARDIS console, through the beautiful medium of cosplay.
