As we're coming to the end of the series, I've decided to switch up the format a little. Think of it, if you like, as the Doctor Who reviews from a parallel universe. That's thematically appropriate, at least.
Catherine Tate's performance is very nuanced. Her "Donna that never met the Doctor" is still recognizably Donna, but the distinctions let us see how much the character has progressed Dorianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14754097613320749614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815491.post-48714414291328094482008-07-17T15:01:00.000-07:002008-07-17T15:01:01.093-07:00Duality of Mind and BodyDorianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14754097613320749614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815491.post-65700208028454664812008-07-17T07:11:00.000-07:002008-07-17T07:14:49.470-07:00Voulez-Vous!Pal Mark, author of the Dorothy comic, is brilliant!

I'd like to say that this is the episode that puts to rest the nagging Who fans who can only seem to complain about Russell T. Davies's writing for the show, but Who fans just wouldn't be Who fans if they weren't complaining about something. Which is a shame, because while the nuttier aspects of Who fandom are out there complaining about "the gay agenda" being shoved down our throats because ofDorianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14754097613320749614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815491.post-8547563575883210942008-07-10T00:01:00.000-07:002008-07-10T00:01:00.359-07:00Dorian Talks About Comics He Is ReadingI find it nearly impossible to say anything negative about the Superman books now that both Krypto and Steve Lombard are appearing at least semi-regularly in them.
There is a very simple way I can tell that Geoff Johns is a very good writer of super-hero comics: he got me to read Green Lantern comics starring Hal Jordan.
