Who Review Special – The Day of the Doctor

Posted by Richo On November 24, 2013 1 COMMENT

Welcome to special instalment of Who Review, my ongoing quest to review all available episodes of TV’s longest running SF series, Doctor Who.

This instalment is a departure from the normal run, as David and I give our thoughts on the just released 50th Anniversary episode, Day of the Doctor. I haven’t written this as a regular Who Review as I didn’t want to write a full synopsis and spoil the story for everybody, so it’s mainly just a review.

EPISODE

BROADCAST DATE

23 November 2013 (1 Episode)

THE DOCTORS

Thanksgiving: The Gathering – Giving Thanks Planeswalker Style

Posted by Nikki On November 17, 2013 Comments Off on Thanksgiving: The Gathering – Giving Thanks Planeswalker Style

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and families will be sitting down to feast, downing about a million tons of pumpkin pie, and gaining about forty pounds in weight a-piece. This year Chandra, Jace, Venser, and Koth sat down to give thanks and try to figure out what Thanksgiving is.

Chandra starts at the local supermarket shopping for a large turkey, unsuccessfully. She is used to feasting on Goblins and buying a turkey is quite confusing for her. She approaches a lady who looks like she knows how to talk turkey and asks her if she can help her find the perfect bird. The lady explains to Chandra that buying a turkey requires you to know how many people are going to eat it, if your oven is big enough, and if you can read instructions. Chandra doesn’t understand a word of this mess and leaves the lady spouting off turkey gibberish. Chandra wonders if you can cook a turkey on a spit like you do Goblins and if they taste like rotten stinky snot.
