Doctor Who – 1982 – All the Years

Doctor Who – All The Years is a quick examination of what was happening in the world of Doctor Who over all its years of existence. I’m not attempting to create a thorough history–just brief look back at the real-life timeline of my favorite TV show. Go back to the beginning and read about 1963 here.

Doctor Who: Saying Goodbye to the Companions

In just a short while, I’ll be checking out the latest episode of Doctor Who.  I could have already, but I wanted to preserve the quantum uncertainty of the story a little bit longer.  Because the rumor is that Jenna Coleman’s Clara will Face the Ravens in this story, maybe as a result of getting into that sleep chamber for a couple of seconds in the last story.  Maybe not.  It was sort of confusing. (Of course, she’s also slated to appear in the season finale in a couple of weeks, but with Doctor Who, that could mean anything).

Evaluation: Day of the Doctor Predictions

A while before I saw the 50th Anniversary episode of Doctor Who, the Day of the Doctor, I posted a list of “expectations” for the story. (See the original post here). This wasn’t my wishlist – it was just my predictions, based on advanced press and previews, etc. Now the episode is history. How did I do at predicting what we’d see? (Spoilers, for sure)
