Doctor Who Series 8 Review: The Season That Shifted Focus
Doctor Who Season/Series 8 aired on 23 August 2014. It is the first full series with the 12th Doctor (played by Peter Capaldi). With the start of the Peter's first full series, I was looking forward to seeing Peter Capaldi's take on the 12th Doctor, as my first Doctor was the 11th played by Matt Smith. I really wanted to support the 12th as a brilliant rendition of the doctor. For my money I really liked Capaldi's portrayal of the doctor in some episodes, but sadly the writers dropped the ball. The biggest problem with this series is that the
A South African Whovian’s perspective on Doctor Who Season 8
In 2011, I heard about this really cool British sci-fi show called “Doctor Who” and was told that I should really watch it. I was quite skeptical, even though I love sci-fi and fantasy shows. I started watching the 11th Doctor’s series - with Matt Smith. What a delightful surprise - I was hooked! The weird mix of Matt’s fish fingers and custard and little Amy Pond. Since then I’ve watched Christopher Eccleston’s 9th doctor series with Rose Tyler and the wonderful 10th doctor, David Tennant. My whole family also got enthralled by Doctor Who (Who wouldn’t, pun intended). Later

The 8th Doctor - Paul McGann (1996 and briefly in 2013 with the 50th anniversary special short) Characteristics: Charismatic, charming, Victorian, and he seemed excited by trivial things. Companions: Grace Holloway Favorite episodes: Paul McGann, although a wonderful actor, unfortunately only featured in the Doctor Who TV movie, with Eric Roberts as (a very charismatic) The Master. The TV movie was terrible with hints that the Doctor was half-human, but hey – the Doctor lies! He got another
Hidden Easter Eggs In ‘The Walking Dead’
The other day I stumbled onto a very cool (and somewhat creepy) Easter egg that was originally found by imgur-user "myothertardisisafirebolt". The Easter egg was found in the second episode of the 5th season of the popular TV show - The Walking Dead. There are a lot of Bible references in this episode. When you put the Bible verses together they almost form a story. The following verses were used: Romans 6:4, Ezekiel 37:7, Matthew 27:52, Revelation 9:6, and Luke 24:5. Romans 6:4 - New International Version (NIV) We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order
