reviews

On occasion I’ll decide to review something, be it an episode, a book, or a bit of merchandise, such as a toy. Much of the time the review will be duplicated in the blog. However, if a review contains spoilers, then I won’t print the whole think in the blog, but rather refer it to the review here, where each entry will be labeled if it contains spoilers.
Now, you can’t have a good review system without some form of ratings-system (I can’t at any rate). As such, I’ve decided on the following (very silly) system. My thanks to Alden Bates, who made these icons available!
| POOR | FAIR | GOOD | GREAT | EXCELLENT! |

6.01 – THE IMPOSSIBLE ASTRONAUT

Reviewed 25 April, 2011 – Four envelopes, numbered 2, 3 and 4, each containing a date, time and map reference, unsigned, but TARDIS blue. Who sent them? And who received the missing number one? This strange summons reunites the Doctor, Amy, Rory and River Song in the middle of the Utah desert and unveils a terrible secret the Doctor’s friends must never reveal to him. Placing his life entirely in their hands, the Doctor agrees to search for the recipient of the fourth envelope – just who is Canton Everett Delaware the Third? And what is the relevance of their only other clue: ‘Space 1969′? Their quest lands them – quite literally – in the Oval Office, where they are enlisted by President Nixon himself to assist enigmatic former-FBI agent Canton, in saving a terrified little girl from a mysterious spaceman.
