  STRANGE PARADISE   18 and 19 "Is it that bad?" "I have a feeling it's about to get far worse." from 19  It takes a level of skill to write a show this badly. Jean Paul and Holly talk gibberish after a scene where she’s on a couch sleeping. I’m on a couch watching this. And if memory recalls, months and months ago, when I started his horrid show, it always made me have to fight sleeping.   JP and Holly talk gibberish. First, he says something such as “When dreams are haunting nightmares aren’t far behind to follow.”   We switch to Tangie and Dan talking about the coffee and she says something equally odd about the coffee being better and perhaps the day will be too.   Dan coughs and it could be my hearing but he seems to call Vangie Bangie. They discuss the name of the island Garden of Evil, the legend that goes back almost 300 years. They also talked about the channel being treacherous and a way of JP keeping the world from beating a path to h...

  DOCTOR WHO-THE MAGICIAN’S APPRENTICE   Hang on tight, from what I remember about season 9, it’s going to be a bunch of crap, other than maybe one or two episodes and then season ten was smoother sailing other than the two two parters or one three parter which was total shite and that horrid ending for Capaldi and that hypocritical regeneration.   Yeah, we’re approaching the end of Moffat’s shitty errors.   Okay, this is the one where, shock of shock, Davros is a little boy. First, the opening looks like that SKaro war in GENESIS, maybe a few years before we see it there. Second, it’s visually okay. Third, the kid is okay. Fourth, this is shite. Why?   Big Finish did a whole Davros is a teen story as part of their excellent and grim, hard hitting I, DAVROS series. Rory Jennings, who played Tommy in THE IDIOT’S LANTERN did an excellent job as a chilling pre teen/teen Davros. Done. DW needed to move away from that, because it was done so well ther...

  DOCTOR WHO-THE LAST CHRISTMAS “Santa goes bad ass.” “Ahh, oh, he’s giving me the feels.” “Shut up. That’s a, that’s a verbal warning.”   God, make this stop. Moffat, stop it! TIME AND THE RANI almost stopped me being a fan for a few months, well, that and PARADISE TOWERS and the horrid DRAGONFIRE. But why didn’t this crap? This is bad DW. I mean really bad.   Hold onto your sleds! Here we goooo!   I hate Moffat’s writing.   One full fucking hour!?   I don’t even think I can go on reviewing this. This is awful. God awful. All of it. Tangerines. Roof top dialog. Reindeer. Happy Easter. I hate this. I really hate this show.   OMG. Make it stop really. Base. It will soon be under siege, right? Bathroom jokes. Old man put hand on Shona’s knee.   How can anyone write this bad?   For a brief second, like most of Moffat, this seemed as if it might get good, just about when the monster zombies were converging on...

  DOCTOR WHO-DEATH IN HEAVEN “Well, this is a bit exciting.”   Previously on BAD Doctor Who:   Here are some responses I gave to comments about my criticism of how crappy DARK WATER was: This makes no sense: corrupt the Doctor? Never gonna happen, lose himself? That is the problem with Moffat: the Doctor would NEVER lose himself at least the Doctor we saw from Docs One through Ten (and even in Time lord Victorious stages). Her plan is stupid and the Master is not totally sadistic nor insane. It doesn't fit at all. And Moffat DW doesn't explain things: it's supposed to be science fiction, not horror, not a fairy tale. Even if not explained, WHY does Missy contain the dead in that building AND the nethersphere and then she could just download them all directly into the bodies of the dead in the graveyards? And how is she beaming Cybermen bodies around skeletons that are already in the ground? It's stupid, dumb and Moffat thinks we, the fans are stupid and dumb t...
